FAQs
Counselling questions
How can counsellor help me in reducing chronic pain?
We know that strong and negative emotional responses such as anxiety, depression, anger, frustration or feeling misunderstood can worsen chronic pain conditions. Our highly trained and qualified counsellors draw their expertise arising from evidence based psychological approaches. They can teach you skills to help you think in a positive way to overcome negative thoughts. This way you can take active responsibility for managing your own pain condition.
How often should I see a counsellor?
Every individual is different and so does their problems and goals. Counselling therapy is often seen as a space for self-development and growth to help you manage challenges you are facing. You may feel comfortable in few sessions, however more frequent sessions may be required to develop coping strategies to reduce and manage complex and long-term problems.
What to expect in my counselling consultation?
In your initial consultation, our counsellors will ask you certain questions about you and your life to better understand your problem. These questions relate to your personal history, current situation, issues you are facing and your feelings. Given counselling is a team effort, we encourage you to be open, be prepared, be honest about your feelings and ask questions during your counselling sessions to make it as successful as possible.
