Why Therapy / Counselling?
Everyone Needs Support in Troubled Times
We all face struggles from time to time where we feel like the walls are closing in on us, where our problems challenge us on a level that forces us to confront the very limits of our capability. When we are confronted by such overwhelming stressors, be they financial, physical, psychological, spiritual, inter-personal or all at once - they can often seem like insurmountable problems that threaten the very core of our sense of Self & Identity and our ability to act.
It is in these moments when life seems to have gotten the better of us and we feel we can no longer cope, that we find ourselves posed with Life's proverbial existential question - am I going to 'sink or swim'? and when faced with the reality of being unable to do the latter on our own, we have to make what feels like the bravest choice of all, to swallow our pride, overcome our shame and do the most human thing we can - reach out for help!
Below are some typical signs that might suggest that you could benefit from Counselling:
- You feel an overwhelming, prolonged sense of helplessness and sadness.
- Your problems don't seem to get better despite your efforts and help from family and friends.
- You find it difficult to concentrate on work assignments or to carry out other everyday activities.
- You worry excessively, expect the worst or are constantly on edge.
- Your actions, such as drinking too much alcohol, using drugs or being aggressive, are harming you or others
