What is Counselling

Counselling is a form of therapy called a talking therapy. There are
many kinds of talking therapy; person centred, psychodynamic,
transactional analysis, gestalt and cognitive behavioural therapy and
many others.

Most counsellors specialise in one or two or more of these models
and some counsellors only use one approach.

The common aim of each of these therapies is to assist the client to
find solutions to his/her problems using the clients inner resources.
In this way the conclusions you come to are owned by you and not
the counsellor. These approaches facilitate this process. Counselling
is not about giving advice. Counselling sessions usually last about 50
minutes. The number of sessions vary and are agreed upon by
client and counsellor.
