What is Involved?
Counselling presents the opportunity to truly be heard and brainstorm effective solutions.
What counselling is :
Counselling facilitates change. Most people pursue counselling because they are lost, stuck or unhappy; they are smart enough to know they feel this way and have the courage to seek help.
Counselling presents the opportunity to truly be heard and brainstorm effective solutions.
Counselling assists people in becoming aware of what’s happening within them and within their relationships so they can best decide what needs to change and how to initiate this change.
What counselling is not :
Counselling is not merely a (one-way) conversation; it is where the client discusses his or her issues in an atmosphere of confidentiality and non-judgment and where collaborative options are discovered and put into action.
Counselling is not directive or a dictating of what to do or how to be, however, the counsellor may offer suggestions based on theory, practice and experience, however, the client is the expert of his/her own life.
