Individual Counselling ** What Happens During Individual Therapy? ** Individual counselling involves talking about your feelings, thoughts, and behaviours and the things that are troubling you. You might spend time talking about your relationships with others, the things you are good at and the things you would like to do better. Your counsellor or therapist will work with you to set goals or identify the things you would like to accomplish by working together. The counsellor or therapist will also work with you on different strategies to help you reach your goals. In some cases this could mean helping you to change patterns of thinking or learning new skills or ways to behave. Your counsellor or therapist might also give you homework so that you can practice outside of the counselling sessions some of the things you are learning. **Advantages of Individual Counselling ** - It allows the counsellor to work in isolated issues - The counsellor caters only to one client - The information gathered is easier for the counsellor to figure out and to be able to apply which treatment approach is most useful to the client and target behaviour that needs improvement - The client’s thoughts and behaviours may not be distorted compared with group counselling as several pattern of thoughts and behaviours from other group members in making choices and decision making - The client has the power to change his life for the better based on the choices he makes
