Counselling Approach:
A Counsellor helps a person to find the positive changes they want to make within their lives – assisting them through their journey or their stages of life, by listening and supporting them.
This in turn enables the healing to take place within a safe, caring, understanding, relaxing, confidential and trusting environment.
As such:
- Counselling is a holistic approach to the wellbeing of the client; it takes into account the whole person, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It works with other healing modalities and general practitioners.
- Counselling is a process. It is an activity of talking between the client and the counsellor. The counsellor will listen, challenge and help the client to work through their issues, of both being focused on the positive changes which the client wants to make within their own life, and the positive outcomes. Of sharing the pain, the joys and the journey together.
- Counselling is proactive. It is done with purpose.
- Counselling usually involves more than one person – one on one counselling or individual counselling; or it may involve 2 or 3 or 4 people, relationship or family counselling; or it may involve groups of 5 or more people, group work.
- Counselling assists the well being of the client. Its emphasis is on self growth and personal development, by developing suitable coping mechanisms, strategies and solutions.
- Counselling is for normal people with normal everyday problems. It can assist with relationships, depression, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, self-esteem, effective communication, healthy boundaries, work issues, life skills and day to day issues.
- Counselling puts the needs of the client first by encouraging the client to look for their own answers within themselves. “Who Am I” “What am I doing?” “Where am I going?” “Where do I start?” The counsellor assists the client through this process by the use of innovative and evidence based strategies and techniques.
