If you’re seeking greater clarity and understanding around your mental health and how to move forward with purpose and joy, individual counselling (or one-on-one therapy) can help you unpack what lays beneath the struggles and provide you with the strategies and skills you need to navigate through those challenging life experiences.
A qualified counsellor or social worker specialising in mental health can assist you with managing a range of problems including PTSD, Anger Management, Anxiety, Depression, Substance Abuse & Addiction, Eating Disorders, Grief & Loss, Stress Management & Relationship problems.
Let’s take a look at the most common reasons how individual therapy can benefit your outlook on life and create a more positive mindset.
1. It’s All About You
Having a dedicated and qualified therapist that is focused entirely on you and your unique needs, experiences and goals ensures you have a safe and meaningful therapeutic space to begin your journey to healing. Someone who is trained and experienced in understanding the complexities that life often throws at us and the impacts of traumatic experiences on our day to day functioning is a must but also ensures that you receive personalised and effective support.

2. Confidential & Private
During a personal counselling session, everything you share with the therapist is 100% confidential and private unless there is risk to yourself or others in which case your therapist will speak to you about sharing their concerns with those who can ensure your safety.
If you don’t find group therapy comfortable; or feel ashamed or embarrassed about sharing your issues in front of other people, getting one on one attention with a personal counsellor can be an extremely beneficial way to experience emotional healing in a safe and relaxing environment.
3. Self Paced Sessions
During a personal counselling session, you can work at your own pace with minimal pressure. As there is no one size fits all approach, you can expect the counsellor to work around what feels right for you.
Whether you choose to work at a slower pace or have more frequent sessions to get to the root cause of the problem, every counselling session is tailored to suit your exact concerns and timeframe – with no pre-determined outcome.
4. Understand Your Emotions & Thought Patterns Better
A personal counsellor can help you look at your issues from a different angle, offering a fresh perspective on how to handle life situations more effectively. They also help you identify and understand your emotional triggers, providing non-biased advice and recommendations based on your personal situation.
5. Address Multiple Concerns
A professional counsellor is trained to assist with a broader range of issues, giving you complete confidence in addressing all your concerns. Whether it’s a targeted set of sessions or ongoing therapy, complex problems can be processed and managed effectively helping you to find peace, safety an harmony in your life.
6. Compassionate & Nurturing Approach
One of the most important qualities to look for in a personal counsellor is the ability to connect with you and your unique needs in a caring and supporting way.
A good therapist will allow you to share your emotions and experiences in a safe environment, while supporting you to work through what has been holding you back with compassion and understanding.
7. Develop Vital Coping Strategies & Skills
Working one-on-one with a personal counsellor can help address deep seated issues that may be holding you back from living your best life. They can also provide you with positive coping strategies that will give you clarity over your problems and help you tackle these issues head on. If you’ve been suffering emotionally or struggling with your mental health and have not yet sought professional help, investing in yourself is the first step towards addressing those difficult experiences that may be steering your life down a difficult path.
Personal counselling can provide you with a safe, non-judgemental space that allows you to express your emotions and find resolution. Having a trained professional to guide and support you can make all the difference in managing stress, depression and anxiety – empowering you to take control of those parts of your life that may currently be controlling you.
