What is Counseling?
|
Counseling is, foremost, a relationship. It is a therapeutic relationship and that is why it heals. It is not the knowledge, wisdom, techniques, etc., that heal, but all of these things in the context of a meaningful relationship. Throughout the counseling process, regardless of the counselor's approach, the therapeutic relationship between counselor and client is a central component in the healing process. Without a mutually trustworthy, respecting and caring relationship, a client will not be able to work through the stages of counseling, but will terminate prematurely. This is why it’s so important to chose someone that you can see yourself working with for a while.
The key relational dynamics of safety, acceptance, respect, understanding, trust and commitment are essential ingredients for a positive treatment outcome.

What is Treatment Like?
The length of treatment can be a single session, a few brief sessions, or up to 20 sessions of work. A single session or two is often for those looking for consultation. They seek to understand something fairly simple or to secure some direction for a particular non-crisis problem.
Brief counseling, from a few sessions to about 20 sessions, is geared for those whose conflicts or problems are not severe, but they need more time to process information and make changes.
