Individual counselling is an opportunity to receive support and growth during challenging times in life. Individual counseling can help one deal with many personal topics in life such as anger, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, marriage and relationship challenges, parenting problems, school difficulties, career changes, etc.
Individual counselling (sometimes called psychotherapy, talk therapy, or treatment) is a process through which clients work one-on-one with me in a safe, caring, and confidential environment. The session allows you to explore feelings, beliefs, and behaviors, work through challenging or influential memories, identify aspects of your life that you would like to change, better understand yourself and others, set personal goals, and work toward desired change - getting the most out of your life and your relationships. Individual counselling develops self-awareness and communication skills by discussing issues and getting feedback. The pace of therapy can be tailored to your needs. Therapy can be sped up for intense intervention or slowed down when you need to adjust and move slowly.
Research has shown that psychotherapy results in fewer relapses of common conditions such as moderate depression, anxiety, and substance abuse and that the positive effects of good therapy extend well beyond the treatment. In fact, many clients report improved conditions long after therapy has ended.
