Is counselling and psychotherapy designed for individuals who are mentally ill? This is a stigma existing in our society. In reality, it is designed for those who are not able to adjust to their life situations, for those who need to open their mind to someone who is ready to listen, for those who feel stressed in their work as well as family life.
Counselling is a talking treatment that encourages individuals to discuss their problems with the ultimate goal of resolving them. A counsellor encourages you to discuss your issues in detail in order to determine the root cause and create a plan of action to assist you in overcoming or coping with the problem.
Psychotherapy is a treatment that can assist people who are suffering from a variety of mental health conditions and emotional difficulties. It can assist not only to ease the symptoms but also in addressing the psychological underlying reasons for one’s condition, allowing a person to function better and have improved emotional well-being and recovery.
