Counseling Consultation / Dr Ronnie Zuessman

People seek counselling or psychotherapy to address personal issues or those that exist within their relationships. Professional help is available.

People often seek counseling or psychotherapy to change and to resolve difficulties or problems. Seeking consultation is very personal and it takes some courage to initiate contact. Sometimes the impetus comes from within; sometimes your circumstances or others close to you provide a nudge. Finding the 'right' therapist for you may take some exploration. Some people simply seek to talk privately about a subject or an issue. This may involve one's direction in life, career, management role, or decision-making. Some people seek to address deeply personal thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, spirituality, or other concerns.Intervention may be brief and problem or symptom focused, or more analytical and oriented to insight and personal transformation.

However, it is important to acknowledge that outcomes of consultation, counseling and psychotherapy are uncertain and that there can be no guarantees regarding improvement or progress. While therapy will be undertaken with consideration for your expressed hopes regarding length of time or number of sessions, prediction of these is likewise indeterminate.There also are potential risks to approaching feelings or thoughts that you have tried not to think about or that you have held without changing. One may experience emotional distress, re-examine long held beliefs, make changes in attitudes or behaviors, or experience disruption to relationships or work. You may find the relationship with a therapist to be a source of strong feelings.
