Lived Experience
I could list the adverse experiences that I have had in my 50 years of life that others might want to access to gain insight and guidance. Especially if you are going through something similar and need support, talking to a Counsellor who not only has experience in the field, has studied and trained extensively and is part of an ever growing mental and emotional wellbeing profession, but has also been through similar experiences and made it to the other side in one piece, can feel protective and secure. It builds trust and confidence when the Counsellor you are talking to about your issues, has been through it themselves.
Centering the Client through Transparency
It takes time and effort to feel comfortable to do this work with someone you don’t know. The relationship we establish as Client and Counsellor is called the Therapeutic Alliance and builds over time. With every session we spend together, our familiarity, trust, rapport and comfort strengthens and grows, allowing you to explore more personal and sometimes uncomfortable or difficult topics.
End of Year Counselling
The most important thing to remember is that this time of year is filled with opportunities to change your perspective, release the things from the previous year that you don’t need anymore, and move into the future stronger, wiser and more content.
