What is Counselling
Psychology matters for your health. Counselling is a personalized form of psychotherapy that helps individuals, couples or families cope with a wide range of issues, which can include mental health concerns, personal struggles, addiction and relationship difficulties. It involves open dialogue between the individual, couple or family and counsellor to work through the problem at hand. Through regular counselling sessions, you can develop better self-awareness and an understanding of your own emotions, forge better personal relationships as well as learn healthier coping skills to navigate life’s difficulties.
What are the Benefits of Counselling?
Psychology based counselling is a powerful tool that can help individuals to gain insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It provides an opportunity for people to explore their personal issues in a safe and supportive environment. Counselling can provide numerous benefits such as improved communication and interpersonal skills, increased self-acceptance and self-esteem, the ability to change self-defeating habits and behaviours, better understanding of one’s personality, values, and beliefs, relief from unpleasant emotions, development of openness and acceptance towards oneself and others, the ability to set boundaries for oneself and others, decreased anxiety and depression levels and lessened suicidal tendencies. Counselling can be a great way to gain clarity on life issues or simply learn more about yourself.
What does the counsellor do?
A registered counsellor is a trained psychology professional who provides advice and guidance to individuals or groups on personal, social, educational, and career-related issues. They help people to explore their feelings and emotions, identify goals and objectives, develop strategies for dealing with problems, and work towards making positive changes in their lives. Counsellors use a variety of techniques such as active listening, problem-solving skills, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), psychotherapy, and hypnotherapy to help clients reach their goals. Counsellors also provide support to individuals who are struggling with mental health issues such as depression or anxiety. By providing a safe space for clients to express themselves without judgement or criticism, counsellors can help them gain insight into their own thoughts and feelings and make positive changes in their lives.
