What is counseling?
Counseling gives people a confidential space to talk, creating an opportunity to work through current difficulties, future worries and past hurts. For some people simply having a compassionate listener can reduce suffering, for others this first step helps build trust so that deeper issues can be explored. Counseling looks different for different people, depending on their needs and goals. Some may see a therapist for just a few sessions and for others the duration may be longer.

Benefits of Counseling
Counseling empowers people to make changes, increase their strengths and overcomes their weaknesses. It can help people who are suffering from a range of difficulties. Some people may seek counseling because they need to talk through a major decision, a crisis in life or they are simply struggling to find balance. Others may be suffering from emotional difficulties or a diagnosed mental health issue. Whatever people’s motivation they can find relief and direction through counseling.
Our approach to counseling
At The Journey International we embrace a compassionate and evidence based approach to counseling. We believe that every person is unique and has value. When we work with people we are quick to listen and seek to understand their experience of life and where they want to be.
Over time interventions and approaches have been developed which have been proved through scientific study to help with certain mental health issues. These are known as evidence based treatments. At The Journey International our therapists are committed to using methods which effectively address a client’s concerns and goals.
Not every intervention works for every person. We believe in partnering with clients to identify solutions based on the individual’s strengths and needs. We walk alongside people as they work towards achieving their goals.
