Do I Need Therapy? | Counselling Services in South Surrey and Online Throughout BC

"Do I need therapy? I function pretty well in my day-to-day."

Therapy is becoming more of a commonly talked-about topic. The idea of what therapy can support with is widening past the idea that it's only for people in crisis, we are now often bumping up against the idea of, "Do I need therapy if everything feels ok?"

Therapy is something that can be supportive throughout many seasons of your life - and this doesn't just mean when the seasons are bumpy. Some of the transformational therapeutic work can actually be done when the season is feeling more solid and we have a curiosity to explore our inner world.

Therapy can be helpful when we are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, disconnected, have experienced recent or historical trauma, or are struggling with perfectionism, people-pleasing or shame.

Therapy can also be helpful when we are feeling curious to learn more about our inner world, wanting to dive into self-discovery or explore how our strengths can expand even more.

At Portree Counselling Co., our therapists work from a relational framework, which means we are curious about how your early relationships with people have impacted you, but it also means that we prioritize the relationship between the client and the counsellor and see this as a relationship in itself. This can help you explore relating to another person in a healthy and authentic way. With this in mind, we see therapy as a relational experience where we may work alongside you through those bumpy seasons and also through those more easeful or curious seasons allowing clients to explore what healthy relational experiences feel like.

If you are wondering if therapy could be supportive for you in your season of life, we offer complimentary 15-minute phone consultations with our therapists for you to connect with a therapist and to ask any questions you may have before starting the process. We offer in person sessions in South Surrey, BC and online sessions throughout British Columbia.

We look forward to connecting with you and being a support through any season you are in.
