Therapy & Counselling Services in Melbourne
Far too often, people think they have no choice but to endure the difficulties they face in life, and because of societal conditioning it may never occur to them to seek help. If they do feel inclined to seek help, they may not know where to turn, or they may feel a sense of shame at having to ask for help.
That societal influence is strong, and it's very damaging. In truth, nobody should feel that help is beyond them or that they are beyond help.
The Grove has been specially set up in Melbourne as a safe haven for counselling and therapy. There you can talk to professionals in therapy counseling with complete confidentiality and secure knowledge that your therapist is actively engaged in helping you to solve your problems.
+ Read MoreWhat is Therapy Counselling?
Therapy is a way to help you develop the skills you need in order to cope with the challenging world we live in. People need counselling and therapy for all sorts of different reasons that can lead to mental health issues or emotional distress.
It was once considered a weakness to need any form of therapy counselling but with more understanding of how the human mind works, and the stress and deeper problems that emotional upsets can create, thankfully today it is available to everyone without prejudice at The Grove Counselling.
Reasons You May Want Melbourne Therapy and Counselling
You hear it everywhere - we are facing challenging times. Even when your personal life is running smoothly there is negativity all around us, from the media and other people, and if you are not feeling strong enough then this can also begin to affect your mental outlook.
Talking with a trained professional can help you to recognise why you may be feeling low, or having unhealthy thoughts, behaviours or emotions, and help you to work towards positive changes. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, or other challenges, support is available.
You do not have to endure alone the difficulties that life throws at you and there is no shame in having to ask for help, counselling and therapy is available to everyone.
Whether you are having marital problems, grieving the death of a loved one, or just feeling particularly low and you don't know why, talking to a trained therapist is completely confidential and is the first step in helping you to solve your problems.
Counselling and therapy services available from The Grove include:
Anxiety Counselling
Anxiety can be a real problem if you allow it to dominate your life. Counselling can help you gain control over your anxiety and provide you with the strategies to overcome it.
Depression Counselling
Depression is a close cousin of anxiety, but moves into even more dangerous territory. Where anxiety causes worry, depression results in utter despair, and that can be more difficult to come back from. Counselling can provide coping strategies and also help you find some meaning and purpose in life that can offset the despair resulting from depression.
Grief Counselling
Grief is a reaction to loss. It's a natural emotion and one that usually only causes a temporary interruption in your life. When feelings of grief are overwhelming and persistent, however, you will need to seek help.
Family Counselling
It's important for families to get along. If you can't rely on your family, it doesn't leave you in a very good position. Often the problems that affect families are due to misunderstandings that could be easily corrected. A counsellor can help your family move beyond conflict, as well as helping families to discover what is causing disharmony or problems.
Teen Counselling
Being a teen is one of the most difficult phases to go through in life. No longer able to enjoy the care free days of being a child, not yet having the freedoms of being an adult, and still somewhat clueless as to how good it is to not yet be an adult, there's a lot of pressure teens have to deal with.
Child Counselling
Kids need counselling too, sometimes. Children in general feel more vulnerable than grown ups, and that's because they are. Living in this century is even more stressful than it was in the previous one, because there is a constant (and not completely unjustified) message of fear. There are many different kinds of counselling kids can need.
Trauma Counselling
People of any age who have experienced serious trauma in their life can be haunted by the memories of what happened, and can find that the effect results in the manifestation of other problems. Counselling can help people in this situation to cope and to heal.
How to go About Your Counselling Booking in Melbourne
We are all individuals, and we don't all get on with everybody, so it isn't advisable to just continue with your Melbourne therapy if you feel you are not connecting with your therapist. It is important that you and your therapist relate to each other, otherwise, you may jeopardise the success of your treatment.
Here at The Grove Counselling, we recommend you take advantage of our free 20-minute consultation service to help you decide if we are the right kind of therapy practice for you. You can speak to one of our professionals by phone or video call before you decide to go ahead with your counselling booking.
Therapy Counselling Your Way
At The Grove Counselling, we understand how important it is to get the right kind of treatment for each individual, and what works for one person may not be the right choice for another.
You can choose to have your counselling and therapy in-person or online, whichever you are more comfortable with. If you prefer to meet face-to-face, we can still continue by video call if you happen to be away one week.
You will find the experience you receive from us to be private and confidential, and very supportive. We will work together with you in order to find the right way forward, through a reflective and creative approach that will inspire healing and transformation.
Booking Melbourne therapy today will give you the tools you need to cope with the problems tomorrow may bring.
