Is Counselling Really For Me?
Do I Need Help
?
Are you in search of an objective point of view to help sort out problems, difficulties, decisions, losses or other issues?
Are you too close to the problem, so much so that you are unable to take a step back and see what the problem is?
Are you finding you don’t have anyone to talk to – you believe you know what family and friends will say and don’t want to hear it?
Outsider (counsellor) perspectives are often the most helpful:
- they’re unbiased, non-judgmental, and the person offering the perspective is not offended easily (as family and friends can often be).
Have you experienced unwelcome life & emotional changes and found that your usual coping skills are not working?
- You used to focus on work to avoid life and now you’re having difficulty getting things done – you can’t even concentrate on work.
- You have turned to drugs and alcohol to deal with your problems, only now the calming effects the drugs used to have on you are no longer…in fact, you are feeling worse than ever.
Is it time for you to move on
and overcome past hurts, relationships, or negative life situations?
- You lost your spouse and life partner and you are having
difficulty moving on. How have no idea how to…or even if you should.
- Your girlfriend or boyfriend broke up with you, you know you
need to get past it, you want to move on, but you just can’t.
- You lost your job and you’re not sure where or how to start looking for
another.
- You want to be a better mother to your children, a
better role model than you had, but you’re not sure how.
- You’ve just retired after years of hard work and effort. You have been
looking forward to this retirement for SOO long. And now, you’re not
sure what you’re going to do with your days, you’re dreading tomorrow,
and you’re not sure retirement is what you want.
- Are you
looking for information and resources so that you can deal with your
personal concerns in other ways?
- Are you concerned about issues that are too intimate to discuss with friends and family?
- Are you thinking about coming out of the closet and you don’t
know how? Are you afraid of
your family’s reaction?
- You’re pregnant – you’re also single, and you’re dreading your
parents’ reaction.
-
You’ve finally acted on the ‘more than friends’ feelings you’ve been having with your co-worker? And did someone else find out? Are you feeling guilty? Are you confused about where to go from here?
Maybe nothing is
wrong at all!
Maybe you want to be more than you are, but are unsure just how to do
that.
Is it direction or goal setting you want help with?
Is it the next step you need help getting to?
Could a professional assist you in the journey toward healthy
personal growth?
