How will counselling help me?

Therapy offers a lot of benefits. Aside from offering support, a therapist can also help you develop new strategies and improve your coping capacity to manage anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, and unresolved childhood problems. Counsellors are also helpful in managing interpersonal relationships, personal wellbeing, marriage problems, family issues and many other challenges that come with life. Being in therapy challenges unhelpful thoughts and helps you discover new helpful ways to solve your problems. Of course, these results will all depend on how engaged you are in counselling and how willing you are to implement these strategies in your life.

By participating in therapy, you can experience these benefits:

• Understand yourself better and keep your goals and values in check.
• Learn skills to help you cope and deal with anxiety, depression, stress, and other emotional issues.
• Find resolution to issues that led you to seek the help of a therapist.
• Improve your relationships through better communication and listening skills.
• Change unhelpful behaviors and improve your self‑confidence.
• Find effective ways to deal with problems in your marriage or family.

Seeking therapy is likely one of the best decisions you’ll make to improve the quality of your life.
