Why Counselling?
When people experience distress or difficulties in their lives many like to talk through their experiences with trained professionals. Some people do this to understand more fully what led to the current problems, learn new skills and increase positive emotions. Others find having a forum to express their thoughts in a non-judgmental context, while gaining some feedback or insight, the most important part.
Counselling can help you discover meaning, options, resolution, hope, purpose, understanding and solutions.
