The counsellor uses different types of therapies along with talk therapy so that they can understand the client better and also, to make clients understand themselves better. The sessions are planned according to the clients’ immediate needs.

Why Do You Need A Mental Health Counselor?
Many a times, we need someone to just listen to us and understand us. While our friends and family can do it, but a third person view helps in creating non-bias and that is what a counselor does. A counselor is not a friend or a mentor, but they will be with you, professionally, on this healing journey of yours.
Why we need a mental health counselor over a friend or a family member because:
- They provide a safe space to discuss the things that are causing distress for you.
- They maintain confidentiality, i.e., they do not disclose your identity to anyone.
- They provide a listening ear and try to understand you.
- They make you comfortable and allow you to be yourself!
- They provide insights which help you to understand a certain pattern in your life.
- They do not provide any readymade solutions, but they guide you towards problem solving and encourage you to find the solutions yourself.
- They help you in understanding yourself better!
