What is counselling?

They type of counselling offered by Employee Counselling Service is broadly termed ‘Solution Focused’ or ‘Brief Therapy’.  Not all counsellors in other organisations use this approach, but we have found it the most effective in working with employed people who usually have limited time to give to counselling and who want quick results.  If the assessment of the counsellor is that some other intervention would be more appropriate, such as a psychiatrist or psychologist they will help the employee to find that support.

Solution Focused counselling is very much about the here and now and how things can be better in the future.  It is often quite practical and helps employees identify how to change those aspects of their lives that are causing emotional problems. (See Counselling)
