Why Come For Counselling?

FOR INDIVIDUALS 

When life is going well, we can usually manage day to day. But when problems arise and become too great, they can tip the balance and start to affect our health and well-being in ways that we cannot seem to control. Counselling provides an opportunity to spend time with someone who understands mental and emotional distress and can help you to talk freely and safely about your concerns. Talking can help you to explore what is happening and how it is affecting you. With the counsellor’s support, you can find the resources in yourself and use them to bring about the changes needed to restore balance.
