In colombo, Sri lanka.

Seeing a counsellor provides you with the opportunity to learn about yourself and gain a greater understanding of your personality, values, and beliefs. It allows you to increase self-awareness and insight into your own role in the problems you may be facing and awareness is key to change. It encourages you to embark on a personal journey toward personal growth.

Counselors strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental, warm, and caring environment for clients to feel comfortable with disclosure of personal matter. The top 3 characteristics of most counselors include empathetic understanding, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness. Therefore, it is a place where you don’t have to worry about being judged, ridiculed, or put down. Your emotions are validated, your situations are normalized, and you will be ensured that you are not alone.

Sometimes we have habits that are contributing to our problems in life. Counseling can help bring about awareness of the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that revolve in a never-ending cycle of self-defeat. With awareness, you can learn what steps are needed to take action and regain control over your behaviors in order to enhance more positive change.

Most of us have experienced some sort of insecurity about our appearance, abilities, skills, or personality traits in our lifetime. Focusing on the negative aspects of ourselves can make us blind to the positive traits we have. Although we all may have something we don’t like about ourselves, through counseling, we can also learn to accept our flaws and imperfections as a part of being human. With self-acceptance comes self-love, self-compassion, and a stronger sense of self-confidence. You will be able to improve your weaknesses by building upon your strengths.

What is the greater meaning in life? The answer to this question is unique to every individual. For those that are in an existential crisis or are grieving a loss usually experience a temporary loss of self/identity. Through exploration of values, beliefs, interests, and memories, counseling may help you rediscover your purpose, passion, and meaning in life.

Whether you feel completely and utterly hopeless or just need a little boost, counseling can help. Without hope or motivation, our lives can appear to be falling apart because we struggle to take action or make change due to not seeing the point in trying. However, counselors can help spark some motivation by bringing awareness to positive achievements in the present and past to strengthen hope for the future self, future relationships, and future life.

There is an infinite amount of skills that you can learn through counseling that are useful in everyday life. These range from problem-solving and conflict resolution skills to communication and interpersonal skills. Counseling provides a safe environment to learn, practice, and experiment with these skills before applying them to real situations outside of sessions. These ultimately lead to better overall wellness for the body, mind, and spirit.
