Psychology and counselling help people work through their problems in a safe, non-judgemental, and confidential environment. When you first enter counselling, the psychologist or counsellor focuses on building a trusting relationship, making you feel comfortable to share. It is a journey and the therapeutic relationship, growth and change continues throughout your sessions.
Together, you'll set realistic and achievable therapeutic goals. The psychologist or counsellor will introduce various techniques to help you reach these goals. One common technique is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which helps you explore and challenge your thoughts, behaviours, and emotional responses. Other techniques include narrative therapy, art therapy, role-play, and social skills training.
Typically, counselling involves 10-20 sessions, with frequency depending on your needs. A follow-up session after three months is usually recommended. In cases of trauma, therapy can last up to two years.
The aim is to help you achieve your goals and develop the insights, skills, and strategies to live the life you desire.
