Counselling
Counselling is a collaborative relationship between you, the client – the person who is being counselled, and your counsellor – the person who has received training in counselling at a recognised institute of counselling and who practices counselling . Counselling requires you subscribe to the idea that you are shaped by past experiences, your current environment , and your relationships, and that the problems you are experiencing arise from difficulties in one of these three areas. Counselling is a way of addressing these issues through working with your tendency towards positive change – something which has probably been stifled by the problems you are experiencing. In order to address these issues , counselling requires you to be the focus, to lead the counselling session by talking about what is troubling you. Your counsellor will listen.
Your counsellor will aim to help you find your own solutions to the issues you are currently having , through exploration of current and potential future issues and techniques for overcoming them, and offer you non judgemental reflection, regard and support – conditions which can help people change and grow. The counselling relationship will follow mutually agreed procedures , towards a goal, and will aim to develop your strengths. Counselling is a set of techniques and theories derived from observations made by counsellors – your counsellor will use particular theories and techniques during your counselling sessions, depending on their training, and the issues you are experiencing .
