Therapy can be a great way to work through problems and improve your overall well-being.

Counselling is an investment. You invest your time, energy and your money because you want things to be different. Like any investment, it's useful to be prepared and to know what is important to you about counselling. To get the process started before you meet with your counsellor, it might be worth asking yourself questions to get you thinking, so that you can make good use of that first meeting to explore what matters:

⦿ Am i struggling to be myself lately?
⦿ Has daily life felt harder lately?
⦿ Do I have a confidante who I can trust to be impartial?
⦿ Is there a big choice in my life I have been struggling with?
⦿ Is my worry increasing, and are my thoughts less logical?
⦿ Have friends been avoiding me or saying they have been worried about me?
⦿ Am I just not bouncing back from something?
⦿ Do I have a habit that I keep secret from others that causes me ongoing shame and life problems?
⦿ Do I spend most of my time feeling worthless compared to others?

It's not about perfection or getting it right. It is about starting a thought process, about becoming aware of emotions and about taking ownership for this next step in your personal journey. If you are considering counselling, why not having a clear idea about what you want to achieve in counselling means you can review your progress regularly and make sure you are spending time talking about what matters. Bear in mind that there may be many things related to moving forwards and it's not always obvious what is and what is not connected.

Counselling is a place where you can explore this and find the connections that liberate you from your troubles.
