Individual Counselling involves communicating with a suitably trained Counsellor, in a safe and confidential atmosphere. The Counsellor’s role is to support and enable their clients to explore and express their thoughts, feelings and experiences, so they can develop and make positive changes within their lives. While the overall goal of Counselling therapy is very vague, 'I want to be happier,' your Counsellor and Therapist can help you break down your overall goal into smaller, achievable goals. When you start therapy, your Counsellor will be able to help you clarify what is not working in your life. You will then be able to increase your clarity about: Your Responsibility. While having a good Counsellor is important, what you actually do with your Counsellor is just as important. Therapy is not passive. It requires your active participation, motivation and commitment. Clients who work hard at helping themselves are more likely to have successful therapy outcomes. * Give your Counsellor access to the real you. This means being totally honest and vulnerable. Listen to Your Discomfort. Expect emotional discomfort, as it is always part of the growth process. In therapy you will take risks, and try novel ways of thinking and behaving. Your growth depends on your ability to tolerate this discomfort. It is crucial to choose a Counsellor that you can trust so that when discomfort strikes, you feel safe enough to let down your walls and examine the cause. Be Open to Change. You are entering Counselling for support and guidance as you make changes in your life. Since how you have been living (thinking, behaving, etc.) is no longer working for you, it is time to take your life off of autopilot and try something new. If you are with a Counsellor you trust, take the risk, you have nothing to lose and so much to gain!
