The overall aim of counselling is to provide the opportunity and space for you to work towards living in a more positive and resourceful way.
Counselling requires courage and honesty.
It can be painful as well as joyous.
Counselling is about increasing your capacity for health and well-being, about feeling alive.
What Can Counselling Offer?
Counselling can:
- help you to make some sense of what is happening to you.
- support you through difficult periods in your life.
- provide a safe, sensitive and supportive environment where feelings can be explored and shared.
Exploring and sharing personal issues within a counselling relationship can help you towards a better understanding of yourself and a clearer picture of your difficulties.
