There are many reasons why people choose to see a counsellor. Counselling may be helpful if you are feeling anxious, unhappy, or unfulfilled. Family or friends can be supportive, but you may feel uncomfortable or too embarrassed to talk to them.

Sometimes its hard work trying to deal with painful feelings on your own. Often we get stuck with important issues that can remain unresolved. We can find ourselves repeating behaviours that make us unhappy, and wonder “why do I keep doing this?”

Counselling provides a safe place to learn more about yourself. People often make progress when they understand themselves better. The therapeutic relationship that develops with your counsellor assists in this process. It also provides the opportunity for you to talk to someone who will be supportive and non-judgemental.
