When To Seek Telephone Counseling

Counselling Services

It’s difficult to admit you need help and to seek out a professional to help you find answers. While there are many resources available to provide assistance, one of the best ways is through telephone counselling. This service is private and 100% confidential and can bring the relief you so desperately need. Here are a few reasons to seek out a counsellor:

• If you are struggling with personal relationship issues with family or friends.

• When you feel as though you are in a rut and can’t break out.

• If you don’t have any motivation to change, but know that you need to.

• When you feel you need someone to talk to but don’t know who you can call.

• If you have been mentally, physically or emotionally abused or bullied.

• If you are lonely, sad, unhappy and/or silent about your sufferings.

• If you regularly deal with anxiety attacks or angry outburst that effect your relationships and quality of life.

If you have experienced any of these signs, then it’s time to contact a professional through telephone counselling. Find someone you are comfortable speaking with that you have full confidence in and has a great deal of experience, particularly in your area of concern. Before you hire a counsellor, try to arrange a free consultation where you can determine if they will be caring and impartial, but also sympathetic to your situation. You want to find a professional that you feel comfortable and at ease with so that you can share you deep thoughts and concerns without fear of being judged.

You will benefit from phone telephone counselling if you:

• Frequently travel and cannot make regular appointments with a counsellor.

• Are housebound or have an illness that makes it difficult for you to get around.

• Have a busy, demanding schedule that doesn’t allow you to break away easily.

• Are shy or reluctant to speak to a counsellor face-to-face.

• Feel more comfortable discussing private matters from the comfort of your own home.

• Desire the anonymity that telephone counselling offers.

Seek out a counsellor who supports you and doesn’t give you the answers, but helps you brainstorm and support you as come to conclusions on your own. You will want to ensure that the counselling session is all about you and whatever you choose to discuss, and that your counsellor will listen honestly and without judgment as you speak and reveal. The goal is to lead you toward a more fulfilling and enriching life and each online counselling session should bring you closer to satisfying your goal.
