Top 5 Reasons Why People Avoid Counselling

1. Fear to Unlock Emotional Pain

We appreciate how you may feel about opening up to a psychologist you don’t know; or that you worry about experiencing emotional pain during counselling sessions. These fears are perfectly normal, especially if you have never worked with a psychologist before. Discussing your feelings and experiences with your psychologist, in a safe and confidential environment, can be a healing experience. During counselling sessions you will learn how to handle painful feelings and will always control what and when to share personal information.

2. Unable to Recognise Symptoms

You may not be able to recognise the signs and symptoms of common treatable issues like anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder just to name a few. Symptoms can often be mistaken e.g. relationship issues as “going through a bad patch” or social anxiety as “being shy”. Becoming aware of the symptoms that negatively impact on your life and relationships is the first step on your journey to recovery with the help of your psychologist.

3. Lack of Information about Counselling

You may be aware of signs and symptoms of common issues but don’t know they are changeable and treatable through counselling, leading you to think your problem has no solution or will eventually go away on its own. Knowing that there are proven counselling techniques and evidence-based methods to overcome such issues will help you evaluate your best options and make an informed decision about your next steps.

4. Social Stigma

Stigma still is an issue for many people and the profound benefits that counselling and coaching delivered by psychologists have to offer could be outweighed by these judgments you make towards yourself or believe others make. A psychologist can help you build the skills to handle and overcome social stigma.

5. Return on Investment

Many people avoid or postpone counselling purely based on the financial and time investment rather than a full understanding of the value and benefits you will receive. Counselling with a highly qualified and experienced psychologist can be an enriching experience that will equip you with powerful personal skills for life.
