Why Counselling?

People mostly do not make a decision to seek counselling lightly.
It is often made after careful consideration.

One factor that prompts people to consider counselling
is that their usual methods of tackling a problem haven't
met with success, and so they seek counselling to help them
with news ideas and new ways of tackling a problem.

 
In other situations, people become faced with situations
or problems they have little or no experience with,
and so want some help and guidance about how to proceed.

Some people might come to counselling to talk about issues
that they don't feel able to talk to family and friends about, for
instance, sexuality or addiction problems.
Some people come to counselling because they worry
that their friends may be sick of hearing about a problem that is
ongoing or longstanding.

People also seek counselling because they feel it can help to talk to
someone independent, someone outside their circle of family and
friends.

 You may have another reason for wanting to try counselling.
The most imporant thing to remember is...
don't persist with a counsellor you don't trust
or feel comfortable with.
It's your right to choose who you talk to,
don't settle for less than what feels right for you!
