Chatitout: SA Counsellors
Posted on 9 February 2009


Chat it out is a personal counselling service that offers a release of the mind through chatting it out. As counsellors we aim to provide a support based counselling service to assist people in a wide range of areas and topics. Our support based counselling is a means for people to overcome the situations they face by facilitating them to take control of their lives.

We believe that everyone is able to overcome any issue or problem that they face. As counsellors we seek to facilitate this process. We strive to assist our clients in believing that this process is possible.  In other words, the counsellor uses his or her skills to help you help yourself.


Confidentiality

All communication with the counsellor remains confidential and will not be disclosed to anyone without the client’s permission.  Disclosure would only be done if it perceived that you are a danger to self or others.  No other information will be disclosed unless it is with your written permission.


What happens during a counselling session?

The number of times you meet with the counsellor will be negotiated and worked out between you and the counsellor during your first session. Each session lasts approximately 1 hour. During the session you describe the problem to the counsellor, and through exploring your situation with the counsellor a different perspective of your situation may arise. This helps you to decide what path or process to take next and how to overcome your situation from an internal or inner point of view.

Chat it out counsellors do not give advice, try to persuade you, or impose their beliefs on you. Rather he or she listens, empathises and facilitates you coming to your own decision or solution.

We offer counselling services to individuals, couples and families in all spheres of life.
