Do I Really Need A Counsellor?

It's a good question! Do you really need a Counsellor?

Needing something tends to carry this implication that you can't live without it. As a humanistic Counsellor, I believe that you already have everything you need within... my role is somewhat different to giving you what you need!

After all, nobody needs a drill, they most likely need a hole!

And as a Counsellor, I'm actually looking for that amazing moment when the question becomes, "do you really need a Counsellor... anymore!".

Because you've reached that point where your own confidence and self-worth are strong enough to navigate your own path by yourself. Counselling is absolutely about endings, not dependency.

In the meantime, we're working together to expand the space around your thoughts and behaviours. To talk about the black and white that's driving you in the now, stepping back and looking at where there might be other options, other paths, alternatives not taken or explored before.

In my opinion, you might never need a Counsellor...

But having one alongside you when things get difficult can offer you that self space, enough to figure out what you DO need and how to get it.

In that sense, it's not the Counselling that you need, but the lifelong benefits and rewards of offering yourself the opportunity to work it all out.

Nobody needs the "thing", they most likely need the results!
