What sort of outcomes can be expected from counselling and psychotherapy?

I have witnessed many positive outcomes such as:

• decreased or manageable anxiety
• improved and more stable mood
• increased self-confidence
• improved performance in the workplace, including leadership
• better management of substances, with lasting recoveries from addiction
• Increased self-awareness
• improved ability to manage emotions
• improved ability to be in fulfilling relationships

Generally, clients who have sought me for counselling have been successful in tackling their most pressing problems. People who engage in longer-term psychotherapy have a greater opportunity to grow as people and to build a capacity to address life's challenges and make meaning of them.

Therapeutic outcomes

Achieving positive outcomes depends on:

• our ability to work together. It is one of the goals of the initial consultation to work this out.
• the nature and severity of the issue(s) that motivate you to seek help
• the appropriate length and regularity of treatment for the isue(s) you want to address
