What is therapy & counselling?
Understanding How Talking Therapies Can Support Emotional Wellbeing
At ReWellness Counselling, we know that life can be challenging — and everyone experiences moments of overwhelm, uncertainty, or emotional pain. Counselling and therapy offer a supportive space to explore these difficulties and begin the journey towards healing, self-understanding, and personal growth.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can provide the tools and support you need to feel more balanced and in control.
How does therapy work?
Therapy is a collaborative process between you and a trained therapist. Through open and honest conversations, you’ll have the opportunity to:
Explore Your Emotions:
Understand and process complex or difficult feelings.
Gain clarity:
Identify patterns in your thoughts or behaviours that may be holding you back.
find solutions:
Develop tools and strategies to navigate life’s challenges.
grow personally:
Build greater self-awareness, confidence, and resilience.
The counsultation process
Before starting regular therapy sessions, we begin with a consultation. This initial meeting is an opportunity to:
Understand Your Needs:
Discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and what you hope to achieve.
Explore Your History:
Provide background information that may be relevant to your current challenges.
Set Goals:
Collaborate on clear and achievable goals for your therapeutic journey.
Answer Questions:
Address any concerns you may have about the therapy process.
The consultation process helps us ensure that your therapy is tailored to your unique circumstances and sets the foundation for a successful therapeutic relationship.
what to expect in a session?
Your first session will focus on getting to know you. We’ll discuss your goals for therapy and what you hope to achieve. Subsequent sessions will build on this foundation, exploring your thoughts and feelings at a pace that feels right for you. Sessions typically last around 50 minutes and can be conducted in-person or online, depending on your preference.
Reasons people seek therapy
People come to therapy for many reasons. You might be:
– Struggling with anxiety, stress, or depression.
– Coping with grief, loss, or a major life change.
– Navigating relationship or family issues.
– Dealing with low self-esteem or self-doubt.
– Seeking support for trauma or past experiences.
– Looking for personal growth or improved mental well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions About Therapy and Counselling
1. What is the purpose of counselling and therapy?
Counselling and therapy provide a safe, confidential space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. The goal is to help you understand yourself better, manage emotional challenges, and make positive changes in your life.
3. Is there a difference between counselling and therapy?
While often used interchangeably, counselling tends to be short-term and focused on specific issues, whereas therapy (or psychotherapy) can be longer-term and explore deeper emotional patterns. At ReWellness Counselling, we offer both, depending on your needs.
3. Who can benefit from counselling or therapy?
Anyone! Adults, teenagers, children, couples, and families can all benefit from therapy. You don’t need to be in crisis — therapy is also valuable for personal growth, self-awareness, and relationship improvement.
4.How long does therapy usually last?
The number of sessions varies depending on your goals and the nature of your concerns. Some people feel better after a few sessions; others choose to continue long-term for deeper exploration and support. We’ll work with you to create a plan that feels right.
5. Is therapy confidential?
Yes. At ReWellness Counselling, your privacy is taken seriously. Everything you share is kept confidential, unless there is a legal or safety concern that requires otherwise — which will be explained clearly in your first session.
6. How do I know if a therapist is right for me?
It’s important to feel comfortable and understood. We match you with a qualified therapist whose style and expertise best align with your needs. Many clients find it helpful to schedule an initial session to see how it feels.
