Common Myths About Counselling 

“Counselling is only for people in crisis” 

Many people seek counselling before reaching crisis. Early support can help prevent difficulties from becoming more entrenched. 

“I should be able to cope on my own” 

Needing support does not mean you are weak or failing. Humans are relational, and seeking help is a sign of self-awareness. 

“The counsellor will tell me what to do” 

Counsellors do not give advice or make decisions for you. Counselling supports your understanding and choice. 

“Talking won’t change anything” 

While counselling is not a quick fix, having space to talk and reflect can lead to meaningful change over time.
