“Nobody can teach me who I am. You can describe parts of me, but who I am – and what I need – is something I have to find out myself.” – Chinua Achebe

Individual Personal Development Counselling

 

What is personal development?

Personal development is the way in which we choose to improve our awareness, to develop our personal abilities, to improve the quality of our life, and to contribute to fulfilment of our aspirations and personal dreams.

A way to do it is participation in the sessions for personal development counselling where we discover our own self identity as it stands out while performing our daily tasks. During such sessions, we become fully aware and identify, by ourselves, solutions mostly suitable for each and every one of us.

The Personal Development Counsellor

Is the specialist who works with mentally healthy people who need to explore or overcome various feelings or situations they face in their personal, social or professional life, by using and developing each client’s own resources and potential.

Facilitates personal development counselling sessions in a non-directive way, meaning without offering advice, directions, solutions, options, value judgements or any other manipulation form which would lead the client to a condition of lack of personal power.

Creates an emotional and physical space in which the client becomes himself aware of what is going on with him/her, what exactly he/she wishes for and how exactly he/she can get there with the Counsellor and his own view of reality staying completely outside such process.

A principle in NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming, the human excellence domain) says: “The map is not the territory” (Alfred Korzybski). The territory (i.e. reality) is the same, what is different is the way in which we individually perceive it by overlapping it onto our own map, i.e. the map of the world we ourselves draw.
