About Counselling

Counseling is an important tool that helps us lead happier healthier lives. It is a misconception that you have to be suffering from severe mental health issues or deep depression and extreme anxiety to require counseling. We all have difficult times in our lives – work issues, family issues, troubles at school, losing loved ones – when sharing our troubles is necessary. At this time, talking with an unbiased, trained mental health professional can provide us with guidance and peace of mind.

Anyone, at any age, from any socio-economic background, at any stage of their life can require help. Please reach out to get yourself and your loved ones the help necessary. There is no shame in asking for help – it is actually the most courageous/brave action you can take to improve your life.

How will I know I need professional help?

When your emotions are overwhelming, disrupting, or derailing your regular life each day and you are unable to cope in a healthy way, it’s time to get help. Reach out to a counsellor if you notice that:

  • A particular issue is affecting every aspect of your life in a negative way
  • You are unable to perform in your social, professional, and personal life
  • Your issue is consistent for 4-6 weeks

Take this mini quiz right now to see if you could benefit from talking to a mental health professional.
Ask yourself the following questions and tick those to which you answer ‘yes’:

  • Are you your own worst critic, blaming yourself/judging yourself harshly for your unhappiness?
  • Do you set goals, have trouble achieving them or get discouraged easily?
  • Do you feel hopeless due to family/marital/work pressure issues?
  • Do you struggle with smoking, drinking, self-harm, binge eating, compulsive shopping?
  • Do you constantly feel tired, fatigued, frustrated, irritated, angry, helpless?
  • Do you have aches and pains that seem to have no physical reason?
  • Have you been eating/sleeping too much or too little recently?
  • Have you been thinking about death or having suicidal thoughts?

If you answer ‘Yes’ three or more, then counselling may well be of great help if you really want to change.
