You know often people ask themselves “Should I get counselling?” If you can answer “Yes” to most of the questions below, then I would suggest that counselling may really help you. Counselling may consist of 1 session or many. Depends on what the issue is.
- Do you feel you need to talk to someone?
- Would you prefer that someone to be objective and not someone that may be biased towards the outcome?
- Do you struggle with knowing how to deal with whatever issue it is? It could be a relationship difficulty or an anxiety issue or not knowing what to do?
- Would you like the someone you talk to, to have life and professional experience?
- Is it important to you that you can speak confidentially without fear that others will find out?
- Would you like to learn strategies that you could use to help you feel better?
- Is it important to you that you have someone listen to you and your concerns without passing judgement on you or telling you what to do?
- Have you tried to solve this problem on your own without success?
- Would you like some help and are you prepared to pay for the help?
If you have answered “Yes” to more than 4 of the above questions, then you may want to seriously consider getting counselling.
