I don’t know that I need the “crutch” of individual counselling. Shouldn’t I be able to navigate these feelings on my own?
First, counselling is temporary, and I am not here to tell you what to do. Rather, I will share a process with you and act as a guide at the moment. Ultimately, you are in charge and get to experience sessions in your own way as you come to your own realizations and decisions in your own life. Counselling is a collaborative experience, and my role is to offer you information, perspective, and guidance until you get to a place of relief. Lastly, there is no shame in asking for help. There are times when we all can benefit from a little help in navigating life’s ups and downs.
I tried therapy in the past, and it didn't help. How could or would this experience be any different?
The key to successful counselling experience is finding a therapist who you can personally relate to and feel comfortable sharing your experiences. Effective therapy also relies on your sincere desire and willingness to grow, evolve and embrace change, however, difficult it may be at the time. A poor experience with therapy in the past, while unfortunate, does not mean that therapy can and will not work for you. With a trusting therapeutic relationship, the right approach and a willingness to shift perspective, you can experience significant results in individual counselling.
I’ve heard that therapy is expensive and can take a lot of time.
While counselling does require a time and financial investment, it is a short process that can help you shift the course of your life. If you're struggling with one or many aspects of life, I invite you to consider therapy as a critical investment in your wellbeing. Through shifting perspective, increasing self-awareness, coming to a place of acceptance and embracing change, you can not only experience relief but also enjoy an increase in productivity and a more happy and fulfilled life.
