The benefits of counselling
One major benefit that may be gained from participating in counselling is the resolution of the concerns brought to therapy. Other possible benefits may be a better ability to cope with marital, family and other interpersonal relationships, and /or a greater understanding of personal goals and values.
Relationship
The relationship between you & the therapist will be strictly professional. In order for therapy to be effective and meaningful, it will be necessary that you do not share a personal or a social relationship outside of therapy.
The risks of counselling
There are certain risks involved in counselling. You or your child may experience a variety of negative emotions during therapy as you remember and therapeutically resolve unpleasant events. Seeking to resolve concerns between family members, marital partners, and other persons can similarly lead to discomfort as well as relationship changes that may not be originally intended. The greatest risk of counselling is that it may not by itself resolve your concerns. Our team will do their best to assess progress and provide referral to other sources if that is deemed necessary and appropriate. Psychotherapy is a collaborative process and the progress you/child make will depend in large measure upon your investment in the process.
