Counselling
has been described as the art of listening constructively.
Most counsellors do not aim to influence their clients in a particular
direction, but to help them explore the options open to them.
Counselling provides an opportunity for a client to work towards living
a more satisfying and resourceful way.
Counselling
can help a wide range of problems including:
Trauma
Stress
Depression
Eating disorders
Relationship issues
Before
a counselling session begins the counsellor should clarify with the
client:
The basis on which counselling
is to be given
The method
Duration
Fees
All that
takes place between the counsellor and client is treated with respect,
discretion and in confidence.
Many
counsellors are members of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
The association aims to:
Promote the understanding
and awareness of counselling throughout society
Increase the availability
of trained and supervised counsellors
Maintain and raise standards
of training and practice
Provide support for
counsellors and those using counsellor skills
Provide opportunities
for their continual professional development
Respond to requests
for information and advice on matters related to counselling
Represent counselling
at national and international levels
