"Humans have the ability to choose their reactions and adapt, to accept themselves unconditionally, to be empowered to rise above circumstances, to deal with their past, and to build honesty and awareness for a better life." - Ruan Lessing
Counselling is a form of 'talk therapy'. It is a process where an individual, couple or family meet with a trained professional counsellor to talk about issues and problems that they are facing in their lives, and/or areas which they would like to improve or grow in.
The counsellor is trained to use various different studied therapeutic methods and/or skills that include but are not limited to the use of active listening, and reflection with the aim of assisting clients with more adaptive levels of functioning.
Professional counselling is confidential and non-judgmental.
Counselling is a dynamic process dependent on where you are at, generally:
Psychology is the study of human behaviour, people either want to do more of something or less of something. We start by determining which it is
Next, by applying and using different techniques and tools, we work together to achieve the desired outcome.
It's not uncommon for more behaviours/problems to surface as we start to deal with some. We deal with everything that is relevant.
