What is counselling?
Counselling is a process that allows the individual to explore, reflect, challenge and where possible bring about changes, either within themselves or around the issues that have affected them. Counselling provides a safe, non-judgemental environment whereby the client can work on the issues that are making them concerned or upset. It allows the client to come to their own conclusions and to find their own direction and deal with those issues. The counsellor is a facilitator for this process to occur, they do not give advice. The process usually occurs through talking, reflecting and exploring not only the issues, but understanding the clients’ beliefs, past history and understanding who they really are. Occasionally other techniques other than talking are used, including strategies, art work and role play to name a few.
Counselling provides you with an opportunity for you to take a step away from those issues or concerns that are affecting your emotional well-being. It then allows you to take the time to explore those issues from a different perspective. It will allow you to safely challenge and question, not only the issues, but also to reflect and gain a deeper understanding of yourself, discover who you really are. Then equipped with a greater understanding of all the related facts and information, you can go on to develop your own way of coming to terms with the choices that are around you, and to allow yourself to move forward in the direction of your choice.

Benefits of counselling
Everyone who comes to me for counselling will experience their own unique understanding of how counselling has helped them. For many, it may be the first time that they have actually felt that they have been heard and understood. It is also possible that they will feel accepted for who they are, at least when they are in the session.
The depth of the benefits that can only be gauged by the client, but it is also necessary for the client to acknowledge that this process may at times be very difficult. The reason for this is, it's scary and sometimes painful getting in touch with one's true self and inner most feelings, and learning to accept oneself for who they are. It involves honesty, trust and eventually acceptance. It can make one feel temporally worse before they start to feel better. For change to occur it is about understanding what needs to be changed and learning to let go of what does not work anymore, to embrace the future and what could work.
