Counselling provides the opportunity to talk in confidence to someone who is trained to listen. Counselling can help make sense of what you are feeling about difficulties you are experiencing in your life at this time. Discussing difficult feelings can help reduce the pain caused by them and may make them easier to understand. With your counsellor you will work in a private and confidential setting where you will be ale to talk freely and openly about feelings which aren't always understood by family and friends.
The counsellor's role is to listen and to respond with understanding, to help you find out why you feel as you do, and to explore what choices there are for you, in order to make your life more manageable. Counsellors do not give advice, do not make decisions for you or make judgements about your situation. What is expected of me?
Your role as a client is to come accepting that you will be expressing feelings which may sometimes be difficult and painful but it may be necessary to go through this experience if counselling is to help you move forward.
