When people are thinking about coming for therapy, a common question they have is: What will I get out of it? The answer is there are numerous benefits you can get from counselling. Here are just some of them:
 
1. Reduced anxiety
 
2. Better relationships
 
3. Reduced panic attacks
 
4. Reduced stress
 
5. Increased self-confidence and improved self-esteem
 
6. Improved communication ability
 
7. Greater emotional openness
 
8. Improved emotional resilience
 
9. Increased assertiveness
 
10. Increased motivation
 
11. Improved decision-making
 
12. Reduction in negative emotions and behaviours
 
13. Development of positive coping strategies
 
14. Clearer insight into the impact of past events
 
15. Resolution of trauma
 
16. Increased self-awareness
 
17. Increased self-care
 
18. Achievement of personal goals
 
19. Greater sense of control and empowerment
 
20. Self-growth
 
It’s quite some list! Of course, the benefits you get from counselling are different for each person and depend on the issues you want to explore and the goals you want to achieve. But people will typically gain a multitude of benefits from therapy, even if the therapy is only short-term.
