H E A LT H Take time to talk WITH MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK TAKING PLACE NEXT MONTH FROM MAY 13 TO 19, THERAPEUTIC COUNSELLOR ALYCE WILLIAMS TAKES A LOOK AT THE BENEFITS OF OPENING UP AND BEING HEARD I am a warm, compassionate and creative therapist. My aim is to assist clients in the healing process and help them to realise their full potential. I do this by offering a non-judgemental empathetic and accepting environment where clients can feel heard, respected and supported throughout their therapeutic process. Together, we will work towards inner peace, healing, recovery, growth and finding more meaning. I am a Person Centred Counsellor, and if you are wondering what that means, here is a quick explanation. Person Centred Counselling was devised by Carl Rogers in the 1950s, he formed a set of beliefs about how we treat people experiencing mental health complaints. His model moved away from the traditional ‘patient being treated by an expert’ to the client being treated like the expert. The essence of PC counselling is actually very simple; it honours empathy, acceptance, nonjudgement and genuineness. The relationship between client and counsellor is based around equality and mutual respect, for me this is so important particularly for clients who have never experienced a positive relationship with someone working in this arena. I am truly passionate about this approach and believe there are many benefits to be taken from it, some of which I am going to talk about here. So my first one is ‘Being Heard’; this sounds like quite a simple thing but for many of us, we have never really experienced being attentively listened to, to be given the space to say exactly what we need to without interruption, without fear of being judged or rejected. This is powerful stuff; we all have a story we need to share and in doing this we feel lighter, validated, and perhaps a little less shame than we did before. Often in the outside world people rush to give advice before we have even finished what we want to say, often this advice is ‘good intentioned’ but not what 40
