There are many benefits from having the opportunity to talk safely and openly about yourself and what's on your mind or how you feel. Counselling & Psychotherapy offers you an opportunity to explore and process your thoughts and feelings such as; anxiety, depression, isolation, stress and anger, in a confidential environment. You may find that by being listened to empathetically, having a professional sounding board can help you to gain a better sense of control in your life.
Counselling helps you to explore issues or problems in a supportive manner often by looking at the options and choices. Counselling can help you to develop more self awareness, and to learn how to be more supportive to yourself and to develop new coping skills. You may wish to consider what changes or new habits you wish to create, thinking of goals using the concept that Aditi Nerurakr describes as 'MOST' goals Motivational Objective Simple and Time bound .
Psychotherapy is similar to counselling and offers a deeper understanding of how past experiences can perhaps affect us in the present. It can increase understanding of the beliefs held about yourself, and their affect. Psychotherapy can also create a deeper understanding of the unconscious, perhaps by reflecting on dreams, or by considering our unconscious drives which can provide insight into patterns of behaviour.
