Clinical counselling is an outlet for you to talk about what’s happening in your life, in a safe, private, and non-judgemental space. It is designed so you can work with a professional to help you discover how you can improve your own mental health in times of distress. Distress looks different for everyone. The issues that you want to talk about with your counsellor are ones that you decide as you are the expert on your own life. A clinical counsellor can help you gain a better understanding of your feelings and thought processes, and find your own solutions to problems.
Furthermore, a clinical counsellor is equipped to help you deal with a whole variety of problems, such as stress from work, anxiety, low mood, grief of a loss, anger and other difficult emotions, pain management, problems with family relationships and many other issues.
Counselling allows you to discover yourself and create personal goals for you to work on so you get to feel how you want to feel, at a pace that is comfortable for you.
