What Is Counseling?

Who Needs Counselling?

It’s common to wonder, Do I need counselling? Many people hesitate, unsure if it will help. The answer is simple: if you feel unhappy with your life but cannot pinpoint the reason, counselling can be beneficial. Some signs that you might need counselling include:

• Struggling to cope with the loss of a loved one or a significant life change
• Feeling constantly reactive, angry, or irritable
• Experiencing sleepless nights, loss of appetite, or overeating
• Losing interest in social activities, hobbies, or interactions with friends

Counselling provides a safe space where a professional listens to your concerns—even those you struggle to express. Counsellors offer understanding without judgment, helping you identify how your behaviours impact others and empowering you to recognise your strengths and address weaknesses.

At some point, we all need someone who truly listens and helps us feel understood. Counselling offers that support, guiding you toward clarity and ease in life.

Common Myths About Counseling

1. Only people with serious mental health issues need counselling: This is false. Counselling is for anyone facing challenges, stress, or difficult emotions. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
2. Needing counselling means you’re weak: On the contrary, it takes courage to face your problems, acknowledge your vulnerabilities, and work toward personal growth.
3. Counsellors will fix your problems: Counsellors don’t solve your problems for you. Instead, they help you explore your feelings, weigh your options, and support you in achieving your goals.
4. A counsellor can’t understand your situation unless they’ve experienced it themselves: Counsellors are professionally trained to respect individual differences and provide effective solutions for various life challenges.
5. Seeking counselling shows a lack of faith in God: Counselling has nothing to do with faith. Many people seeking counselling are simply looking for guidance to cope with life’s difficulties, regardless of their religious beliefs.
