What is Counselling?

Counselling, also known as talk therapy, is a type of psychological treatment that helps individuals manage and overcome emotional problems. This therapy involves talking with a trained therapist in a supportive and confidential environment. Counselling therapists use various techniques to help individuals identify and understand their feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. This therapy helps individuals cope with difficult situations by developing healthy coping strategies.

Who is a Counselling Therapist?

A counselling therapist is a mental health professional who specialises in providing counselling services to individuals experiencing emotional difficulties. They are trained to help individuals cope with various mental health conditions, such as anxiety, depression, and stress. Counselling therapists or psychologists are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and experience necessary to help individuals address their emotional problems.

When Should You Consult a Counselling Therapist?

Consulting a therapist is essential when you are experiencing persistent emotional or mental issues that are affecting your daily life. If you're feeling anxious, depressed, or having trouble sleeping, consulting an anxiety therapist, depression therapist, or mental health counsellor can help you manage these issues.

Additionally, if there is a significant change in your personal life, such as losing a loved one or undergoing a traumatic experience, seeking psychological therapy can help you cope with such situations better.

What Medical Conditions Do Counselling Therapists Treat?

Therapists use psychological therapy to treat a wide range of medical conditions that affect mental health. Some of the most common conditions treated by therapists include:

1. Anxiety disorders, including generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder (PD), and social anxiety disorder (SAD)

2. Depression and other mood disorders, including major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder

3. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and trauma-related disorders

4. Substance abuse disorders, including addiction to drugs or alcohol

5. Eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa

6. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

7. Chronic pain management

8. Relationship and family problems

What Are the Different Types of Procedures Conducted by Counselling Therapists?

Therapists use several types of psychological therapy techniques to help individuals overcome mental health issues. These include:

1. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) - a goal-oriented therapy that helps individuals change negative thought patterns and behaviours
2. Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) - a therapy that helps individuals regulate their emotions and improve interpersonal skills
3. Psychodynamic therapy - a type of talk therapy that helps individuals understand their unconscious thoughts and behaviours
4. Interpersonal therapy - a short-term therapy that focuses on improving relationships and communication skills
5. Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) - a therapeutic practice that involves meditation, breathing, and yoga to alleviate stress and anxiety

How Can I Consult a Counselling Therapist?

Consulting a therapist is easy, with numerous options available for individuals seeking psychological therapy services. You can consult an anxiety therapist, mental health counsellor, or depression therapist through:

  • Apollo 24/7 app or website - where you get access to prominent and experienced counselling therapists
  • A referral from your primary care physician
  • Teletherapy services - where you can receive virtual consultation from a therapist via video conference or phone call like on Apollo 24/7

The Role of Therapists in Healthcare

In conclusion, therapists play a vital role in healthcare by helping individuals overcome mental health issues that affect their overall well-being. Through the use of different psychological therapy techniques, therapists provide much-needed support to patients struggling with emotional and psychological problems.

If you are experiencing persistent emotional or mental health issues, consulting an anxiety therapist, depression therapist, or mental health counsellor can help you regain control of your life and improve your overall quality of life.
