Counselling is a collaborative effort between the counsellor and client. Professional counselling helps clients identify goals and potential solutions to problems which cause emotional turmoil; seek to improve communication and coping skills; strengthen self-esteem; and promote behavior change and optimal mental health. We are complex human beings with unique experiences and challenges, we all need a safe space to flourish. Sometimes we aren't quite sure what that holds for our future, ourselves, our relationships. Together, we can thrive within the journey.
How long does counseling take?
Ideally, counselling is terminated when the problem that you pursued counseling for becomes more manageable or is resolved. This can vary, but the goal is to reach completion within a timeframe that feels appropriate for both parties.
Individual Counselling:
Individual counselling is a personal opportunity to receive support and experience growth during challenging times in life. Individual counselling can help one deal with many personal topics in life such as anger, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, marriage and relationship challenges, parenting problems, school difficulties, career changes etc. These may merge and become unmanageable. There can be more than one goal to achieve. That's okay.
