How can counselling/psychotherapy help me?
Counselling and/or therapy can help alleviate emotional pain and suffering. It can help you develop new skills to deal with the problems at hand. It can help increase your self-esteem. It can give you hope that there is a better way, or a way out. The only thing that it can’t do is change you. You have to do that by yourself. You have to take the skills or new ideas and put them into practice in your life. Therapy will not help you unless you take what you have learned and put it into practice in the world.
