Counseling is a form of talk therapy that encourages people to address their issues and overcome them. In counseling, you and your therapist will work together to ensure your emotional and mental well-being. Your therapist will use tools to help you navigate any difficult feelings, behaviors, thoughts, or situations that you are experiencing.
The personal details of everyone seeking therapy are kept anonymous and confidential by therapists, and these details are not shared with anybody without the client's consent. However, in extreme cases where the client poses a danger to a person's - their own or someone else's - life, the therapist would get in touch with their emergency contact.
The number of therapy sessions you need to attend varies greatly depending on your individual needs and goals, with most people starting with weekly sessions and gradually reducing frequency as they progress
Counseling psychologists collaborate with clients to address their mental health concerns and trace their root causes. They work in tandem with their clients, encouraging them to make decisions which aid their mental well-being.
