What does a successful counselling outcome look like?
When counselling has been successful, you will feel like there have been positive changes in your life. You feel more hope and self-confidence, you have resolved past issues, your emotional state is more stable, you are trying out new behaviours and they are working, people are reacting differently to you and may comment that something about you has changed. You will likely notice that you are having different, more positive, results in your interactions with others. Please keep in mind that in the end, you are the one who makes the decision about whether therapy has been successful. If your daily life is running more smoothly, then great. If there are areas that still need improvement, let your counsellor know and you can work towards a more specific goal. Being more at peace with yourself and your life is possible.
