What is counselling?
Though the definition of counselling has changed and has been modified over the years, the core definition remains to hold true. Counselling is a personal process that is guided by a professional counsellor whose goal is to create authority in the client's life. Counsellors use the therapeutic relationship to guide self- knowledge, emotional acceptance and growth and the optimal development of personal resources. The overall aim is to provide an opportunity to work towards living more satisfyingly and resourcefully.
This is accomplished through a variety of means, mainly based on the counsellor's theoretical orientation, goals established in therapy, level of skill, client insight and self-awareness and motivation for change, among other factors.
This can be a very personal process and it may at times become uncomfortable. Issues such as childhood trauma, broken relationships, attachment issues, and loss of loved ones, may arise and can bring about emotional reactions that can be intense. Empathic Counselling Centre is a safe, non-judgmental environment in which you can feel and explore these emotions.

"I live for that 'aha' moment that my clients have in session. To know that I have guided them to make connections, changes, and enlightened them, is powerful. I am constantly impressed by their motivation to improve their lives and I feel blessed to be a part of their journey."
