Sometimes life can be challenging and at times we all can face different problems, of different kinds. Unfortunately, even the strongest of people can hit rock bottom at some time in their lives and, even when surrounded by family and friends, it can be difficult to talk to other people about the difficulties they are experiencing. At these times it can help to talk about your difficulties with an experienced counsellor and, even though at first people can be reluctant to the idea of sharing their problems with a stranger, through building a trusting therapeutic relationship, it is possible to find a way to let go of defence mechanisms and open up. Over time, through talking about these difficulties with a counsellor, the individual can find it can help to develop understanding and bring about change. You might be wondering why an individual would choose a counsellor in North London or anywhere else for that matter but sometimes discussing problems with family members or friends, is not the same as speaking to a counsellor. Counselling sessions can help individuals in many different ways and with many different issues. These can include anxiety, depression, bereavement, low self esteem trauma or abuse. Counselling can also help if someone is facing relationship issues or has come to a crossroads in their life and needs help in making a life choice. Counselling can take place on a short term, or long term basis, depending on the individual’s needs. Counselling is especially helpful as it offers a safe and non-judgemental environment in which the client can talk about their distressing issues with an experienced therapist who will help them explore the issues they want to. In my North London counselling practice I offer integrative psychotherapy, which means there is not a standard counselling session, but it is tailored to meet the individual needs and issues of each person. In this way counselling sessions can have a beneficial effect on the individual’s life, and help them to see there are other possibilities and to bring about change. Therapy can help in many different ways, depending on what each client brings and what they are hoping to gain from coming to therapy. Through collaborative exploration, therapy can help provide the individuals with an understanding increased understanding as to why they feel and behave the way they so. It can also provide more effective coping strategies, for example breathing and grounding techniques when experiencing anxiety. In addition being able to talk openly in a confidential setting and have a trustworthy, professional therapist listen or support you through a difficult time, can be especially fundamental in helping facilitate change.
