Counselling is essentially a talking therapy with a skilled and professional trained therapist. By listening attentively and patiently the counsellor can begin to perceive the difficulties from the client's point of view and can help them see things more clearly, possibly from a different perspective. Counselling is a way of enabling choice or change or of reducing confusion. It does not involve giving advice or directing a client to take a particular course of action. Counsellors do not judge or exploit their clients in any way and uphold confidentially at all times.
Length of Counselling
Change does not happen quickly for most of us. The length of treatment depends on a number of variables. Variables include: the severity of the problem, the motivation of the client, the type of problem and the age of the client. The more focused and limited the problem being addressed, the shorter the treatment can be. The more the treatment addresses healing emotional injuries, the longer it is likely to take.
