Most people face challenges in their life at some point. However, sometimes the challenges become too much, and you can feel helpless and overwhelmed. It could be anxiety over the uncertainty over your future, stress in work, loss of a loved one, depression, or problems in your relationship.
Counselling can be of great support for you if you are experiencing such difficulties and talking to a therapist will help you find clarity and a way out of feeling helpless.
By talking in a free and open way, which is often not possibly with friends and family, you are given the opportunity to grow and find options that you may not have considered before.
During therapy you get the tools to help you get the most out of your life, feel stronger and give you a greater sense of direction.
Many people feel nervous before their first session as they don’t know what to expect.
Your therapist will help you to be comfortable and feel safe and will ask you some questions about your current concerns and what brings you to therapy.
Think about your first session as an opportunity to get to know your therapist and see if your therapist is a good match for you.
When you might consider couples/relationship counselling:
Most relationships face difficulties from time to time. However sometimes it can be difficult to find common ground and a way back to mutual respect and love. Relationships come under pressure and face difficulties for many different reasons. It could be stress, difference of opinions about parenting, wanting different things from the future, infidelity or sexual issues.
The aim of relationship & couples counselling is to provide a safe space to work through your issues. Your therapist is there to support you but not act as a referee.
You can choose whether to meet in person in our clinic or online. Technology is an easy and convenient means to connect to counselling from wherever you are, and whenever it suits you. As with face-to-face counselling, online counselling is completely private, confidential and follows the same code of ethics of the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Recent research has found that online therapy is as effective as in-person therapy.
