Choosing the Right Counsellor or Coach

Choosing a mental wellness professional is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make. It’s a relationship that has the potential to positively impact your life in many ways. And because of that, there’s a risk. For some people, it can feel like a pretty big one. Maybe that’s because it is. Likely, you’ll feel that in your gut.

And because the people in the helping professions can seem like the “experts”, it can seem like as a client, you’re at their mercy. Can you relate?

We’d like to point something out that we hope will demystify things to help you realize that really, the expert in this relationship is you. And here’s why.

It has been said that 85% of the success of coaching or counselling depends on the quality the relationship. And at Clear Moment, we say that a quality relationship is one that is working for you – where you feeling seen, heard, and taken seriously. So it’s important to trust your gut, take your time, and shop around even.

Think about it this way – Would you ever buy a car without first taking it for a test drive? Would you not expect the person to listen to your wants and needs? Would you not walk away from a buying a car if your gut told you not to buy it? Choosing the right mental wellness person for you is not a lot different. At least not to our mind. That’s why we suggest booking a discovery call.

And that is a great move towards lasting hope and healing.
