People pursue counseling for a variety of reasons. Some may enter counseling to address major life changes, such as divorce, and others may seek help in managing mental health conditions, like depression. There’s a common misconception that people who go to counseling are “crazy,” when in fact, most counseling clients are ordinary people struggling with common, everyday issues.
Many people seek counseling because they have identified specific goals or issues that they wish to work on. Others may be encouraged by family, friends, or medical professionals to seek help, and in some cases, a person may be mandated to attend counseling as part of a court ruling or by a parent or guardian (if the person is a minor). Whatever the impetus, it takes courage to attend counseling, and it takes dedication to see it through. Together, the client and the therapist will determine the goals of counseling, and if the counseling should be short- or long-term. In many cases, the therapist and client will explore much more than just the client’s presenting problem—the issue that first brought the person to counseling. The help of the right therapist can promote self-actualization, empower self-growth, improve relationships, and reduce emotional suffering.
