Counselling is not giving advice. Rather, counselling is a process in which regular discussions and sharing of thoughts, fears or feelings with a trained counsellor can help you to understand and resolve what is troubling you – whether it comes from circumstances, other people or yourself. It can therefore assist you to make choices, decisions or changes which could enable you to lead your life more fully.
At Making the Difference Brisbane, the basis of all counselling is objective and supportive listening and respect for the client as an individual. Processing things previously put aside by the pressures of everyday life can be difficult, but the opportunity to explore your feelings in a private, confidential and non-judgmental atmosphere can be a relief in itself. Counselling provides an opportunity to gain new perspectives and can encourage a greater dimension of wellbeing.
