Private Counselling in Belfast

With so many organisations, agencies and health centres offering various types of counselling, what exactly is it and why choose private counselling?

Not understanding what counselling is or what it’s about can put many people off asking for the support they need. Instead they may internalize their difficulties and experiences. This in turn can lead to further anxiety, depression and many self-defeating behaviours affecting relationships and general well being.

Some people may have concerns, fearing they’ll be analysed or judged, or may worry about the stigma of mental health and what others would think of them seeing a therapist. One of the aims of counselling is to help people understand their thought processes better, explore what lies behind their feelings and challenge their self defeating behaviours appropriately.  To help them help themselves to develop better skills to cope with life’s challenges.

Realizing that you need support can be a healthy positive sign of inner strength. Working collaboratively with your therapist you can stop self sabotaging feelings and behaviours and begin to live and experience life more fully as you regain control, develop better relationships and make healthier lifestyle choices.

Private counselling and psychotherapy means less waiting times and appointments at times that suit your busy schedule. It also means the service is tailored to your needs, whether a shorter term solution focused approach or longer term in-depth psychotherapy. The number of sessions is decided between you and your therapist, not by the number allowed per client.
