Positive experiences of counselling?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm getting help from the person I consider my best friend. In a sense he is my counselor. I've received lots of help from him during the years of our friendship. I think it's important to mention that I meet him regularly, so I guess I would need regular help from a counselor the same way if I hadn't had him. There's some reciprocity between us but mostly I'm the one who receives more useful advice.

I guess if I had to rely on counseling I'd have to take a more professional approach myself, i.e. focusing only on one problem at a time, evaluating the quality of help I receive, always trying to be in sync. Finding the right person for counseling seems to be just as difficult as finding a good job.
