Soul Aspire Counselling Services

It has almost been 6 months since I started counselling clients through my private practice. I am happy to share that it has been a great experience so far and it continues to get better. I am always happy to listen to the stories my clients share about their courage and resiliency through the difficult challenges in their lives. There is always something to learn from the people I talk to and it is very rewarding work. A lot of the people who reach out for help are ready to ...do some work, ready to take personal responsibility, make some changes, and many understand that it’s not easy. The one thing that bothers me the most, is when there are people who say there is nothing wrong and that they don’t need any help but it’s so very obvious that they are struggling. I think we all know one or more people like this? And I am not referring to the clients who receive counselling. I wish there was something that can influence them to get the help they need, but the reality is that they have to be the one who asks for help and nothing will change until they do this! This attached post about self-care really resonated with me because it’s a conversation I have daily with clients. Improving our lives, maintaining a healthy life, and making changes is hard! But in the long run, it makes all the difference. Asking for help is one of the best things we can do for ourselves. Please take care! https://www.facebook.com/506944552/posts/10158677971774553/
