If you work in the grocery industry, you could be eligible to access short-term solution focused counselling for free through GroceryAid.
Counselling is often considered an effective tool to help support with stress, low mood, anxiety and depression. It can also be used to support a variety of day-to-day issues, including; relationship problems, family issues, bereavement, work related issues, difficult life events and many more.
Short-term solution focussed counselling explores a specific problem and prioritises looking forwards into the future, to where you want to be, through a series of short, structured counselling sessions.
This type of counselling looks at an individual’s strengths and focuses on the positives, in order to help them move forward with their life rather than focusing on the issue or problem directly. By setting clear goals and objectives, the sessions have a clear structure and direction. It’s important to remember that everyone’s needs are different and that there’s no strict A to B model. The counsellor will tailor the sessions in a way that they feel will work best for you.
How can short-term focussed counselling benefit your mental wellbeing?
Help you take control
Counselling can help you to identify elements in your life to focus on that you are able to control, helping you to move forward.
Challenge your mind
By speaking with a counsellor, you may think about things from a different perspective and challenge your own mind to feel the way you do, how you might approach things differently, or what might be causing you to feel the way you do.
Empowerment
Talking therapies involve the individual and the counsellor playing active roles. By you having to play an active part in the counselling, this may help you to feel empowered at a time where you may feel like you have lost control or your life, or part of your life.
Different Emotions
Counselling can help you cope and manage with a variety of emotions from grief, guilt, anger, sadness, confusion, and low self-esteem for example.
