What Is Counselling?
Counselling is a safe and confidential space for you to speak with a trained professional about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Working collaboratively, you and your counsellor will explore how each influences your understanding of self, others, and the world.
During a session, you and your counsellor may have a more general discussion about how you’re feeling or what’s currently going on in your life. Your counsellor may ask you specific questions regarding your relationships, childhood, dreams, and/or significant life events. In either case, these conversations help to build a relationship between you and your counsellor as you work together.
For some, sharing so freely with another person can feel scary and overwhelming. This is understandable. As such, you and your counsellor will take time to get to know one another so that you are able to work safely and sustainably.
If you have any questions about what counselling is, what to expect in counselling, or who might benefit from counselling, I encourage you to explore the resources below:
