Therapy is provided in a comfortable space where you can talk in private and complete confidence with your Therapist. All appointments are carefully scheduled to ensure the discretion of clients. Taking the first step in the healing process, by deciding to visit a Counsellor, is a huge victory in itself. It is a person deciding they are going to take action and agency over their own lives. Often our thoughts and feelings may seem overwhelming or impossible to deal with. They can sometimes feel too much to think about, let alone talk about. We can often get so overwhelmed that it inhibits the thought of even going about our day to day lives. It can seem more than we can handle or find a purpose for.
If you have ever felt like this, you are not alone. We are all at the mercy of our own thoughts, and everyone has their own unique challenges to contend with. People often ask questions like: "what can counselling do for me?" or "how long does it take for counselling to work?". Unfortunately, the answer to both questions is: "it depends". Counselling helps with many things. It is especially helpful when the person seeking counselling understands that they are in control of the process. They need to turn up on the appointed day and time, talk freely knowing everything that is said is confidential and non-judgemental and engaging in the process. The Counsellor just provides them with the tools, guidance and space to do it. How long counselling takes to "work" depends on the particular issues being worked on and the amount of effort someone is willing to put in towards achieving their goals. Counselling and therapy are not just about "fixing problems". They are about embracing support, facing our biggest challenges, and developing tools to help us face the world in our daily lives.
