How Does Counselling Work?
When counselling is successful, you can expect to experience greater self understanding and significant relief and improvement in distressing feelings, thoughts and problematic behaviours. Your confidence in dealing with life challenges should improve alongside feeling happier and more satisfied in life.
Counsellors are trained in theories that can help you understand problematic situations, habits or feelings which cause emotional and psychological discomfort or distress. We can also show you tools and strategies that empower you with the ability to positively address and/or completely overcome problem issues.
At KlearMinds, our experienced counsellors integrate psychotherapy, CBT and coaching techniques into the counselling we provide for you. These additional therapies enable us to tailor the counselling to best suit your learning style and provide you with the greatest opportunity for achieving lasting, positive change, as quickly as possible.

What Type of Therapist Can Provide Counselling Services
Counsellor (Counselor – US spelling): The best counsellor will have a recognised training in Counselling Theory and Skills as well as clinical experience in providing face-to-face Counselling. Historically counsellors typically provided brief interventions on specific problems such as stopping smoking or focused anxiety management. Nowadays many therapists who can provide counselling are also trained psychotherapists. This means they also have the ability to work with more complex and long standing problems. To know what they can offer you, it is important to check their credentials (see below).
Psychotherapist: A psychotherapist will have specific training in psychotherapy theory and skills as well as experience in face to face psychotherapy. Psychotherapy trainings have historically been longer than counselling training and therefore most psychotherapists are able to provide counselling.
Counselling Psychologist: A counselling psychologist has similar training to a Psychotherapist, but additionally will hold a degree in Psychology.

What do counselling sessions entail?

Counselling sessions usually involve meeting with a trained counsellor or psychotherapist, in a confidential environment, where you can discuss your concerns. Sessions commonly last about 50 minutes and are conducted on a weekly basis. However, people also can attend sessions that are longer, more frequent or less frequent, depending on the issues they are dealing with and the amount that might suit them best.
Research indicates, that you can get the best results, when you work with a counsellor that really “gets you”. The points below provide a brief description of the type of experience you could expect to have with an effective counsellor.
- The counsellor aims to understand the problems you are facing by asking you questions about your situation. You feel the counsellor really understands your situation and what they say makes sense to you personally. You should not feel confused.
- At the end of the initial session you feel the counselling work has a clear focus on the outcomes you want and you have a sense that the counsellor can help you achieve them. As counselling progresses, you should be feeling some relief/positivity during and after sessions. You should not be feeling excessively distressed, upset or confused during or after sessions.
