Why People Love My Counseling

People love my counseling because I anticipate their concerns. When they call I put them at ease immediately by striking up a conversation with them. Most counselors use the Person Centered method. My first counselor was one. I felt so embarrassed sitting there while this older man stared at me as if waiting for me to say something. I didn’t know what I was supposed to say. He looked like a snake about to strike. I swore then that I would never make my clients feel so embarrassed and stupid. When I got my real first client, I changed to the “conversational style” and believe it has made all the difference. In the section above in my website CounselingServicesAtlanta.com: “What to Expect” I tell of the fears people have of the unknown that prevent them from seeking counseling.

You are to call a complete stranger to talk about a sensitive personal subject. Will he or she be friendly? Will he or she really care about me or my issue? Will my secrets be safe or will I hear others in his office laughing at my pain as he jokes about what I told him? Will this person I don’t know have enough experience to understand how to help me or will he just grunt occasionally and muse “That’s interesting. Tell me more.” Then set up the next appointment. Will I waste hundreds of dollars talking about the same subject for weeks? People deserve to know what to expect so I tell them. Read below “Exactly What to Expect”.
