FAQs

It’s quite normal for you to have questions about what to expect during a counselling session. Here are some questions we frequently get about therapy, therapists, and the process.

Counseling is a brief procedure in which a person shares their daily thoughts, emotional problems, and problematic behavior with a psychologist. Counseling can provide guidance and assistance to a person in developing a sense of identity through self-exploration, self-acceptance, and determining the meaning of their lives.
In therapy, a psychologist works with a person to help them understand themselves, their thoughts, beliefs, and troublesome emotions and behaviors in order to help them overcome psychological disorders.
Psychotherapy is a deep and long approach that assists a person in examining their previous concerns that are the root of their current troubles. It aids a person in overcoming an issue by identifying its underlying causes. With the help of psychotherapy, a person can overcome a long-term mental disease and emotional problems because psychotherapy uses a “whole picture” approach, taking into account a person’s upbringing, environment, and any underlying illnesses.
Both psychologists and psychiatrists serve in the mental health field. But a psychologist utilities therapeutic tactics more frequently, whereas a psychiatrist places a stronger focus on helping patients through prescribing medication.
The duration of the session varies from person to person. The practice lasts 40 to 50 minutes on average.
When someone vents, they typically express their deepest emotions with someone they care about. But it’s problematic because a friend or someone with whom we are venting out can offer advice that is either harmful or biassed to a person due to ignorance and wrong comprehension. In contrast, a psychologist can better understand a person and assist them in changing or removing obstacles from their lives as they are qualified and have undergone scientific training in the mental health field.
The finest and most ideal time for a person to seek help is when a person has trouble controlling their emotions, ideas, and behaviour. when a person has a life-altering event, such as sorrow, stress-related problems at home and at work. When a person wants to develop their personality or feels lost in life’s maze and needs help to discover their uniqueness, clarity, and acceptance of life.
The degree of progress after each session varies; it takes time and perseverance to see improvement. The right therapy can be given once a psychologist is aware of a person’s problems. A person can see changes in themselves if they stick to the guidelines laid forth by the psychologist. Both a psychologist and a client collaborate for a better and quicker improvement in this cooperative team effort.
Different people benefit from therapy in different ways. A person can learn coping mechanisms, express repressed emotions, reflect on behaviour, and develop their personality through therapy. It aids in altering one’s perception of both themselves and society. It may enable individuals to have peaceful lives. Through therapy, a person can identify the underlying causes of their problems and find solutions to stop them from recurring.
