Paraklesis Counselling

Coming Alongside You ...

Many clients find going for counselling to be a major life decision. Apart from the fact that mainstream society tends to associate personal problems with weakness or inadequacy, the process of finding a counsellor/therapist who is trustworthy, confidence inspiring, and professionally competent is a daunting challenge. Make sure that you take enough time to choose the correct counsellor for you!

For the most part, clients are ill informed about counselling. Only one in three people suffering with major depression goes for therapy - this is indicative of a general resistance to go for therapy. This resistance, coupled with the lack of adequately qualified and available counsellors (especially in rural areas), emphasize and highlight the
need for professional counselling being available and accessible.

Please consider the following:

• • The counselling approach used by the counsellor (yes, you can ask)?
  • Whether the counsellor will respect your believe-system?
  • How accessible is the counselling office, is there parking available, public transport etc.?
  • What are the costs per session and will it be covered by your medical insurance?
  • What payment methods are available?
  • Will you be charged for missed appointments?

Taking the first step towards getting help is often the most difficult
- don't hesitate, make that first appointment today!
