So what is Counselling?
Counselling can mean different things to people.
I refer to Counselling as a short-term support due to a crisis. A crisis could be from a death in the family, relationship breakdown including divorce or any other life event. Counselling is short-term support to get through an emergency.
After meeting a client and recognising this need, I would suggest a contract with the client offering support and advice for a limited number of sessions.The purpose of the Counselling would be support the client through the emergency.
