This may be the time when counselling sessions may prove useful and relevant in helping us find solutions to our problems.
A: A counsellor is a sounding board, a confidant and an expert at emotional and circumstantial problem solving. Whether a problem comes suddenly as a crisis or has been present for a long time, it can be looked into and helped. The counsellor builds a supportive environment and slowly helps a person build inner resources that enable effective coping.
A: “No”. The bottom line is that patients want to and need to be listened to. They want a therapist who can listen to them in depth. That is what we offer: We listen to people in depth, over an extended period of time and with great intensity.
Sharing with friends is both useful and natural. Sometimes sharing is enough and helps automatically. However, if after repeated sharing one still feels overwhelmed with one's problems counselling may be a better alternative to seek.
A: Absolutely not. We all need help time and again so that we can be happy and well adjusted. A counsellor functions with this understanding and it helps if the counselee sees the process as normal and useful too. Unnecessary fears and stigma is a sign of lack of information about the counselling process and are best ignored.
