WHAT REALLY IS COUNSELING?
To ‘counsel’ is to give advice or professional psychological help.
Counseling is a type of therapy that allows a person to talk about their individual problems and feelings in a confidential and dependable environment. By talking through our problems, we often tend to be more prone to understand them ourselves and hopefully, with guidance, become better at making changes to improve our lives.
A counsellor is a professional who is trained to listen with empathy (by putting themselves in your shoes). They can help deal with any negative thoughts and feelings you might have and provide objective guidance toward an increased personal understanding and growth.
