What is Counselling?

Counselling is the chance to talk in private with someone who will really listen and try to understand you and will not judge you or tell you what to do. It can be a great relief to talk to someone outside your situation who will not be hurt or upset by what you say.

Sometimes the people closest to you may not understand, or you may feel that you don’t want to burden them with your worries. Or they may be part of the problem.
Counselling can also at times be a painful process as thoughts and feelings surface that may have been kept hidden for some time.

Most clients decide that it is worth the struggle because once these thoughts and feelings have been dealt with they usually lose much or all of their power to hurt.
