You can expect to be treated with respect, sincerity, and unconditional positive regard. You can share your feelings and thoughts in a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental environment. You can expect to gain insights into the difficulties you experience and acquire new skills, tools, and strategies to tackle the problem you are facing. You will receive feedback and emotional support as you make changes in your desired direction. Usually, change is a gradual process and does not happen overnight. Most issues have built up over a period of time and will take time to resolve. Clients who take responsibility for their difficulties and are prepared to work hard both within and outside of counselling sessions will get the most out of their investment in counselling.
