What is Counselling?

Counselling, otherwise known as talking therapy, involve talking to a trained professional about your feelings, thoughts and behaviours. There are several types of talking therapies, each one aiming to:

Provides a safe space to talk to confidentially

Ensure you are non judgementally listened to

Provide a space to explore and reflect on your thoughts and feelings

Enabling you to resolve complicated feelings or learn to better live with them

Help you to identify unhelpful behaviours or patterns of thought and then finding ways to change them

For you to have a better understanding and acceptance of yourself

How Important is Your Relationship With Your Therapist During Counselling?

Research shows that it is crucial to ensure you have a good relationship with your Counsellor. Most importantly, this helps with how successfully you find Counselling. For that reason, regardless of their experience or therapies they practice, if you don't like or trust them, it is less likely to be a positive experience. As a result, you may be less likely to open up to them.

Consequently, if you are looking for the perfect counsellor for you, don't forget to consider looking for the following qualities:

• Empathy
• Compassion
• Patience
• Non-judgmentally listening
• Encouragement
• Self Awareness
• Flexibility
• See the issues from the client's view of the world
• Open-mindedness
• Discretion

What Does the Counselling Process Look Like?

Most importantly, Counselling is not a quick fix. As a result, it may take some time for you to see if it is helping you or not. Therefore, all prospective clients have a short assessment session. Consequently, this allows you to decide if you wish to commit to the counselling process.

In addition, it is vital that you attend the sessions regularly. As a result, you would typically commit to between a minimum of 6 sessions and 20 sessions. Depending on what you are working on and the progress made will determine how many sessions you will need.

Furthermore, every session will last for 50 minutes. Your Counsellor will agree on a suitable date and time for each session. Due to time constraints, it would generally finish at the usual time if you arrive late for any session.
