How counselling can help someone with anxiety & depression?
Counselling can be a highly beneficial resource for people struggling with anxiety and depression. Counsellors can provide an objective and nonjudgmental perspective, allowing them to explore their thoughts and feelings in a safe and secure environment.
In therapy, people can learn how to identify and manage their emotions, recognize and challenge unhelpful thoughts and beliefs, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and build self-confidence.
Counselling can also help individuals gain insight into the root causes of their anxiety or depression and develop strategies for overcoming them. Furthermore, counselling can provide a supportive and encouraging space to process difficult situations and create a plan for long-term recovery.
