COUNSELLING
is a
confidential
one-on-one
process
that
is
designed
to
help
people
deal
more
effectively
with
issues
that
cause
difficulties
and
distress
in
their
lives.
It
assists
clients
to
view
their
situation,
issues
or
areas
of
concern
from
a
broader
perspective
and
enables
them
to
make
life
enhancing
choices
and
decisions.
The
length
of a
counselling
session
is
normally
one
hour,
but
can
be
longer
or
shorter,
depending
on
the
counselling
agreement.
The
duration
of
the
counselling
relationship
is
usually
determined
by
the
complexity
of
the
issue/s
the
client
wishes
to
resolve.
Number
and
frequency
of
counselling
sessions
are
based
on
the
client’s
needs
and
are
mutually
agreed.
PSYCHOTHERAPY
literally
means,
“healing
of
the
soul”.
Psychotherapy
is a
confidential
one-on-one
process
aimed
at
“healing”
the
deep
wounding
of a
person’s
innermost
being.
It
often
requires
a
longer-term
commitment,
the
willingness
to
explore
the
root
causes
of
areas
of
internal
conflicts
and
a
real
desire
for
change.
