There are many reasons and benefits of seeking out counselling at this time. Seeking counselling is an opportunity to unearth past or present trauma, rediscover who you really are, or perhaps a different viewpoint is all you need. Counselling can provide a safe environment where a therapeutic relationship is built based on trust, respect, and empathy.
The therapy approach is called Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT); to help clients improve their mental health by a here and now perspective. SFT is a short-term goal oriented approach where the counsellor and client work together in a collaborative approach. This perspective allows clients to use mindfulness-based approaches helping to self-explore, become self-aware, and learn self-care. Emphasis will be on the client to establish goals by using their own abilities and vision to find solutions. This process helps to ensure the client develops a much deeper understanding of themselves; and to reduce the amount of time spent in therapy.
