Understanding the Role of a Counsellor
In life we often encounter crossroads and hurdles that can leave us feeling lost, overwhelmed, and in need of guidance. I decided to become a counsellor because of my own experiences. I understand that taking the first step towards seeking help can be daunting, especially when you're unsure of what to expect from counselling. My aim in this post is to shed light on how a counsellor can be a real positive in your life.
What Does a Counsellor Do?
A common misconception about counselling is that it's only for those undergoing severe mental health crises. Counselling is much more. It's a process of understanding and working through personal challenges, whether they're related to stress, anxiety, relationships, or self-discovery.
A counsellor acts as a compassionate listener, a guide, and a mirror, reflecting your thoughts and feelings in ways that help you see things from new perspectives. We can help you rearrange your thoughts and help show you different alternatives.
Processing Complexities
Some experiences in life are hard to process on our own. Be it grief, a challenging transition, or unresolved feelings from the past, these complexities can hinder our ability to move forward. Counselling provides a safe and confidential space where you can explore these issues without judgment. It's about helping you uncover your strengths and finding solutions. I personally love emphasing a client’s strengths and getting them to realise what they are capable of. I’m a big believer in people.

Taking the First Step
Taking the first step is the hardest but when you do it's an acknowledgment that you're ready to face your challenges and make positive changes in your life. Everyone deserves a space where they can openly express themselves and find guidance.
