Psychological counseling

Who needs counseling? Who is this form of assistance addressed to?

To adults who are looking for support in dealing with current difficulties.

What is it? Is it different from psychotherapy?

Psychological counseling is oriented toward identifying problems and finding the best ways to solve them. It is a form of advice given by a specialist, a psychologist, rather than a psychotherapy session.

When is it a good idea to get help?

Psychological counseling proves to be a significant support in moments of change, as well as at times when we feel that the current situation has begun to overwhelm us.

It takes place in the form of several meetings. The overarching goal is to identify the problem and seek ways to solve it. Meetings include:

• A diagnosis of the problem – identifying the difficulty that the person is not coping with;

• seeking new ways to solve the obstacle;
• reinforcement in the changes that are being implemented.
