What is a psychological consultation?
During a consultation a psychologist can help to identify and change negative or unlogical thinking, form a positive viewpoint of the world and oneself, overcome the feeling of hopelesness and weakness, feel responsible for one‘s actions, return the feeling of pleasure, find solutions to everyday problems, discover one‘s strenghts and use them in life, overcome stress, post-traumatical experiences, solve interpersonal problems.
