“Come to me, all who are weary and carry heavy burdens.” Sometimes we just need someone to talk to without fear of them using our vulnerability against us or judging us. Because a counsellor is not part of your social or family circle, they can be neutral and trustworthy, while at the same time giving you an important connection and care. You might want just one session to get a fresh outlook on a specific problem or learn some new coping skills or mindfulness practices. Or you may want someone to check in with every week or two for the next year while you are going through a period of change and growth. How you structure the counselling is up to you. The important thing is to reach out and connect.
