Wellness Counselling

What is Wellness Counselling?

Stress is at an all-time high in today's world, which is why wellness counselling is essential. It can help overcome depression, anxiety, stress, and more holistic issues.

Why is Wellness Counselling important?

According to the World Health Organization, in the first year of the pandemic, the “global prevalence of anxiety and depression increased by 25%”. This brings to the fore the importance of wellness counselling, which integrates physical, mental, social, and spiritual health.

Here are four reasons why it is essential:

Physical wellness: Wellness counsellors encourage engaging in physical activity like a simple walk or cycle ride. Any form of physical activity encourages the release of dopamine and serotonin, which are the body’s natural mood-up lifters.
Mental wellness: Adversity leads to stress, anxiety, and loneliness. Eating healthily, exercising regularly, trying new experiences, and talking to someone can provide the reassurance you want.
Spiritual wellness: Wellness counselling delves into the spiritual aspect of healing, accessing creative ways to engage with oneself. This works especially well for people who have faced social isolation during the pandemic.
Social wellness: Social distancing disconnected people. Wellness counselling can help you reconnect through social engagement, a form of self-care.
