Top 3 Benefits of Counselling (One of Them May Surprise You)

American author Mark Manson points out that compared to people in developing countries, people in developed countries are much more likely to suffer from depression and anxiety these days. Worse still, in western countries, the current suicide rate is the highest in human history. Counselling has become very important; allow me to explain by way of these Top 3 Benefits of Counselling.

For instance, in the United States, the annual suicide rate increased 24% between 1999 and 2014 (from 11 to 13 suicides per 100,000 Americans.) Indeed, as people are occupied with their smartphones and all kinds of technologies, isolation is commonplace nowadays. Never underestimate the negative power of loneliness. 

1. Teenagers who have spoken to counsellors are 7 times less likely to commit suicide

Australia has the highest teen suicide rate in the world. Statistics show that Australian teenagers between 13 and 17 years old who have spoken to professional counsellors are seven times less likely to kill themselves. The main reason for teen suicide is cyberbullying which is a crime in Australia now, and there are many professional counsellors who have done specific training in this field, so they can provide solid advice for teenagers.

2. Couples who have hired marriage counsellors are 5 times less likely to get divorced

We all know that the divorce rate in developed countries is very high in this day and age. Yet couples who’ve used professional services such as marriage counselling are five times less likely to get divorced, according to the statistics in New Zealand.

Lifestyle entrepreneur Kate Northrup and her husband Mike Watts also hired a marriage counsellor after their first daughter was born. Now they are happily married and have built a 7-figure business together. Both Kate Northrup and Mike Watts maintain that marriage counselling has been extremely helpful.

3. Counselling is the ultimate stress reliever

Renowned researcher, corporate consultant, and author, Dr Joe Dispenza, states that every disease has something to do with stress and counselling is the fast track to stress relief. No matter whether you’re going through grief, a breakup, anxiety or depression, counselling can certainly help you in this area. Be willing to lean on your coach and follow advice even though at first you might not necessarily understand all of it. A professional counsellor is able to offer honest, relevant and cutting-edge advice so that you don’t have to deal with stress alone.
