What is counselling?

Counselling is a professional relationship that empowers diverse individuals, families, and groups to accomplish mental health, wellness, education, and career goals. it involves helping people make needed changes in ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving, and is a goal-based collaborative process, involving a non-judgmental, supportive counsellor who works with a client in telling his or her story, setting viable goals, and developing strategies and plans necessary to accomplish these goals.

It is a way of addressing issues you may be experiencing or have encountered in the past by talking to someone who can be compassionate but who is not personally involved in the case. Talking to a counsellor will help if you feel sad, frustrated, anxious, depressed, confused, or are overwhelmed by any feelings that affect your emotions. Sometimes, you may not even know exactly why you don’t feel okay.

There are various issues that can cause difficulties at some point in life, ranging from marital challenges, stress, depression, traumatic stress, sexual abuse, relationship problems, breakdowns, eating disorders, low self-esteem and confidence, loss and grief, bereavement, self-harm, personality difficulties, Difficulty adjusting to life, Self-injury, Family issues, distrustful  attitude, Always suspicious, Always in doubt, In apathy about life, Shows anxiety about the future, Resents life and family, Loneliness/isolation/homesickness, Suicidal thoughts and many

Counselling offers an opportunity for you in a supportive environment where you are listened to and encouraged to explore your thoughts and feelings. To help you understand and handle your mental health more effectively and in a way that works best for you, a counsellor will work with you. They’re not going to make any assumptions about you or what you’re saying and they’re not going to give you advice or tell you what to do.

When certain people start therapy, they feel better because they are being listened to for the first time or because they have been struggling for a while. But some might feel more nervous or upset because they speak about uncomfortable feelings that they will rather ignore. They will feel worse in this scenario before they begin to feel better. It is important that you feel comfortable to participate in the therapy process and it is always best to discuss any questions you have about how you respond to the counselling with your counsellor.

This also gives you instant access to a professional,  messaging any time, chat sessions, phone sessions, video sessions  and easy scheduling

You can set aside some time every day, or write when the mood strikes you.

we respond 1-2 times per day. If you need more, simply schedule a video/phone call.

How can I be sure that this is an effective form of counselling?

There are many studies that confirm the effectiveness of the online medium for making life changes. We all know that most times, matters of the heart can’t be controlled but with this methodology, you can always get in touch with the counsellor to settle issues that bother our peace of mind. This is regardless of your schedule or location.

How will I communicate?

Using signal, telegram or whatsapp applications.

Using Google Meet or skype for video.

 You can get unlimited counselling in four ways:

  • Exchanging messages
  • Chatting live {real time}
  • Speaking over the phone
  • Video conferencing

You can use different ways at different times as you wish, based on your needs, availability, and convenience.

How do messaging work?

Once you are booked, you can use your email or you will download one of the most secured messaging apps of your choice ( WhatsApp, Signal or Telegram). You will be sent an acknowledgement mail after subscription via your mail address. After which, you will write about yourself, the things going on in your life, ask questions and discuss the issues that trouble you. I will then read your messages, and respond with questions, feedback, insights, and guidance.

You can exchange messages at any time, from anywhere, using any Internet-connected device. since messaging is not in real-time it doesn’t require scheduling. Instead, you can choose whenever you want to write or respond. You will get a notification when you have a message. The response is usually 1-2 times daily.

How do live chat session work?

You will sometimes want to have a text conversation in real-time. This way you can still enjoy the convenience and privacy of messaging but also enjoy a “live” interaction that allows instant response and feedback from me.

To have a live chat session, you will simply go to your app and start at the scheduled time.

How do phone sessions work?

Phone sessions are a great way to conveniently speak with me by simply using your landline, cell phone, or via our messaging app, however you wish and no matter where you are.

You call at a scheduled time.

How do live sessions work?

We can also have a video session where we see each other and talk with each other in a virtual face-to-face setting using Google meet or  Skype.

To talk via video, you will have to schedule a time to start.

What happens after payment?

When will I start to feel better/For How Long do I need Counselling?

This depends on your needs, Some people feel better shortly after starting with me while Others find it takes time to feel the benefits. some may not even realize there has been any benefits until they stop counselling and compare how they were before the counselling started. So basically, this is completely up to you.

How is my privacy protected?

One of the top rules in counselling is privacy and I am totally obsessed with securing your privacy and confidentiality. The modes of communications are well secured by modern state-of-the-art technology with the sole aim of just protecting your privacy and safeguarding the information you provide. All of this is for you to feel safe and comfortable.

  • You also don’t need to identify yourself.
  • You can always click the “Shred” button next to each message that you’ve sent so it will no longer show in your account.
  • All the messages exchanged are secured and encrypted.
  • You can set an app lock on your phone or set time for message to self destroy for extra security.

What happens in a typical counselling session?

At your appointment, you’ll be encouraged to talk about your feelings and emotions. The counsellor/therapist will listen and support you without judging or criticizing. The therapist can help you gain a better understanding of your feelings and thought process, and find your own solutions to challenges, but they won’t usually advice or tell you what to do
