Why Counselling?

People mostly do not make a decision to seek counselling lightly. It is often made after careful consideration.

One factor that prompts people to consider counselling is that their usual methods of tackling a problem haven’t met with success, and so they seek counselling to help them with new ideas and new ways of tackling a problem.

In other situations, people become faced with situations or problems they have little or no experience with, and so want some help and guidance about how to proceed.

Some people might come to counselling to talk about issues that they don’t feel able to talk to family and friends about, for instance, sexuality or addiction problems.

Some people come to counselling because they worry that their friends may be tired of hearing about a problem that is ongoing or longstanding.

People also seek counselling because they feel it can help to talk to someone independent, someone outside their circle of family and friends.

You may have another reason for wanting to try counselling. The most important thing to remember is …

Don’t persist with a counsellor you don’t trust or feel comfortable with.

Its your right to choose who you talk to, don’t settle for less than what feels right for you!
