Counselling Service What is Counselling?
Counselling is often referred to as the talking treatment. It can help you overcome emotional difficulties and free you from unhelpful ways of feeling, thinking and behaving.
It might focus on:
Counselling offers you a safe “no strings attached” environment that allows you a space where, in partnership with your counsellor, you can explore your feelings and situation.
The counsellor acts as a facilitator. She/he will not tell you what to do, but will provide an accepting, non-judgemental atmosphere in which you will be helped to identify your own strengths, look at problem-solving strategies or develop insights, to give you better control of your life.
Who is Counselling For?
Prejudice about emotional distress sometimes stops people from using talking treatments. They may feel that it is a form of weakness to seek counselling. The truth is that, anyone can suffer emotional distress at some point in their lives, it can take courage to face up to this and approach someone for help.
Most people feel they benefit from talking treatments and find that sometimes it’s good just to get something off their chest.
Many people have found that counselling has helped them to change their lives for the better.
About Our Service
Torfaen Mind offers one to one counselling with a counsellor who has been specially selected to work with you.
All our counsellors have been trained to a Post Graduate Certificate. Others are continuing their studies at University or College to Diploma Level or above.
Do Talking Treatments Work?
Talking treatments do work, but as with any type of therapy much depends on the individual. For many people, counselling has helped to change their lives profoundly.
As a result of counselling individuals feel they are better equipped to handle future difficulties which may occur in their lives.
It helps if you are clear about what you would like to achieve through counselling. This will assist you to be more focused and get the most out of your sessions.
