What to expect in Counselling Psychotherapy?

With attentive listening of your life narrative and key characters in your story, we will know the common patterns of thoughts and emotions within your life that deserve care and reflection.

Gentle curiosity, questions, wonderings and reflections will be presented to you in support to help you understand old wounds, stress triggers or relationship barriers and overcome them.

What are the conditions for effective Counselling Psychotherapy?

For counselling to be effective, I invite you to embrace an active role in the following ways:

  • To be open and honest with your therapist and yourself
  • To self-reflect and practice strategies discussed between therapy sessions
  • To explore and experience challenging and new areas for deeper self-awareness
  • To actively participate, be curious and commit to the therapy partnership
  • To be patient as meaningful change is often a gradual process

It is good to be aware of the benefits and potential risks that come from counselling:

Benefits: Counselling sessions often significantly reduce the amount of distress someone is feeling, improve relationships, and/or resolve other specific issues.

Risks: You may experience some uncomfortable feelings as you discuss various situations and/or aspects of your life. You may also find that your relationships will be affected as you learn to build healthier boundaries and explore previously unexplored emotions, possibly causing distress and conflict in the interim. Improvements and any “cures” cannot be guaranteed for any condition due to the many variables that can affect the counselling process.
