Counselling Psychology

Counselling is different from just sharing your problems with a loved one. Clients choose counselling when they have issues, doubts, difficulties, frustrations or concerns.

Counselling is the humanistic part of the psychology profession as distinct from the behavioural or scientific part. The role of the counselling psychologist is two listen and work collaboratively with a client to understand the guises of the problem, to explore the causing factors within the family or oneself that have contributed to or maintained a problem and through to conceptualise and implement strategies to alleviate the problem and move forward.

That counsellor client relationship is not reciprocal. The counsellor’s role is to encourage and support the client to explore issues and establish a new framework and more effective techniques to improve their lives.
