Knowledge gives you choices. In therapeutic counselling you will become more aware of what is causing your difficulties. You will start to see what is happening for you and why. When you see the problem in a different light you could also start to see what you can do about it. That could be a relief. You can explore what you can do to feel better.
There are different models of counselling. Agnetha Blomberg McCormack uses a mindfulness approach based on Person Centred, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Gestalt. The model uses the knowledge that all people have certain abilities to handle different situations. Sometimes these abilities are dormant and with the help of a Counsellor they could become more active again. Then you will be more able to deal with what is going on in your life.
This model is taught at The College of Holistic Medicine in Glasgow. The course, An Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
