What are the benefits of Counselling?
•Counselling is a conversation in which the counsellor listens to your concerns.
•Sometimes it’s easier to talk to a stranger than to relatives or friends.
•Helps you to clarify issues and find your own solutions in a confidential and non-judgmental environment.
•Counselling offers an opportunity to look at your problems with someone who’ll respect and encourage you.
Bereavement Counselling
If you have lost someone close to you either recently or some time ago, the loss can be felt for many years and the grief may be overwhelming.
•Bereavement counselling can offer a way to begin the healing process
•Talking with an experienced counsellor may help come to terms with a loss.
•When a loss occurs, emotions can be varied and mixed, of a state of- a sudden surprise, anger, sadness,
•depression, anxiety and all of these emotions may surface in a short period of time.
•Following a loss, it may be difficult to regain a sense of purpose/trust in life again.
A Cognitive Behavioural Therapy based approach to Anxiety and Depression
•Limerick Counsellor offers an approach to counselling clients with anxiety and depression based on the core principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
•What is CBT? Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy
•It can help people understand their thoughts, emotions and behaviours.
•CBT has been shown to help with many different types of problems.
•These include: anxiety, depression, panic, phobias, anger, low self esteem..
How does CBT work?
•CBT can help you to change how you think ('Cognitive') and what you do ('Behaviour')
•Unlike some of the other talking treatments, it focuses on the 'here and now' problems and difficulties.
•CBT can help you to make sense of overwhelming problems by breaking them down into smaller parts.
•How you think about a problem can affect how you feel physically and emotionally. It can also alter what you do about it.
•There are helpful and unhelpful ways of reacting to most situations, depending on how you think about them.
•Learning the principles of CBT and integrating into your everyday life will allow you to tackle toxic thoughts.
