What is Counselling?

Counselling is time set aside by a client and their counsellor to consider what has brought the client to seek help from their counsellor. This may include talking about life events and experiences, feelings, emotions, relationships, ways of thinking or patterns of behaviour.

The counsellor will do their best to help the client to find a course of action which is right for them. Counselling is a talking therapy that involves a trained therapist listening to you and helping you find ways to deal with emotional issues.

Sometimes the term “counselling” is used to refer to talking therapies in general, but counselling is also a type of therapy in its own right. Multiple sessions with a counsellor may be appropriate as talking through issues takes time and all issues may not be covered in a single session.

Short term therapy may involve 4 to 6 sessions.

Why Counselling?

Usually a person chooses to enter into counselling because they are experiencing difficulties and stress in their day to day lives at work or at home, or perhaps both. Even with the support of friends and family, difficulties may cause anxiety or depression and it can often be beneficial to discuss matters with a person who is totally independent of family and friends.  Life issues may include bereavement, relationship difficulties, redundancy, health issues, or work related stress or bullying. Indeed, any issue which is greatly troubling a person can bring them to a counsellor.
