What is involved in individual counselling?

​

Counseling can take anything from a few weeks to several months. To ensure that all facets of the condition have been addressed, a minimum of eight sessions are usually required. Your therapist, though, can recommend more or less sessions depending on your progress. Being sure you return for follow-up appointments.

In most cases, the first session will be spent getting to know you and your counselor. Your counselor will inquire about your previous encounters, present circumstance, family, work, and social circle. The first step is to determine what the problem is. When you and the counselor are now mindful of the condition, you will begin working together to figure out why the problem exists. Your counselor would then put in place a method to attempt to fix the problem.If you believe the counseling should go in a different direction, talk to your counselor about it. Bear in mind, though, that counselors are highly educated experts with extensive expertise in their field. You can get more out of treatment if you know that the counselor has your best interests at heart.

Counselling goals

​

In every type of psychotherapy, the psychologist will help you develop specific goals for the therapy. This will include a broad overall goal as well as more focused goals that may change from session to session. Breaking the overall goal into session-by-session objectives helps to focus on specific parts of the program and make sure all aspects are properly covered. It also makes it easy to identify which specific parts you are having difficulty with and what you need to work on more. 

Keeping the overall goal in mind will help you get past times when you feel like giving up on the therapy. To keep focused and consistent with the therapy, remember to keep visualising yourself overcoming your difficulty.

Your therapist will also help you to:

​

• Identify coping strategies:There may be coping mechanisms that have worked for you in the past. Your counselor will show you how to modify these techniques to fit your present circumstances. If you've tried and failed to build better coping mechanisms in the past, a therapist will help you do so.

• Rearrange life priorities: People may develop psychological issues as a result of their unreasonable expectations of themselves and others. This puts you under more stress, which can lead to stress, anxiety, and depression. You may be able to avoid undue stress by rearranging your goals and objectives. 

• Identify personal strengths: It's quick to dwell on your flaws and what you don't have during a depressive breakdown rather than your qualities and the great stuff you do have. Psychologists can help you rediscover and carry out better facets of yourself by drawing your attention to them. This will assist you with having faith in yourself.
