Clients seek counselling for a variety of reasons. For some, the reason is clear and distinct. For others, they cannot pinpoint the cause of their struggle but there is a general sense that something is not right. Or perhaps they want to grow and expand but not sure how.
Whatever it is that led you here, you are not alone. Life can be challenging, and almost everyone at some point in their life will feel overwhelmed and experience emotional or mental health struggles. Recognizing that you need support and reaching out for help is not a sign of weakness as some may think. People are not meant to manage life all alone. It is a strength to know when to seek help and support. Talking to a trained professional in a safe and confidential environment can provide the necessary nurturing space for one to find calm, to breathe, to heal, to grow, to understand oneself, to allow clarity to emerge, and to make changes if change is what is needed.
An important factor in a positive counselling experience is a feeling of connection between the counsellor and the client. While a deep and trusting relationship will take time to develop, an initial consultation provides an opportunity for the client and the counsellor to get a sense of whether they could be a right fit for each other.
