There are so many benefits to counselling that we hate to just stop with these. The biggest one we see every day is a decrease in feelings of overwhelm and an increase in feelings of wellbeing. Counselling is a self directed process with the help of a professional to support and guide you, as you work through a new challenge or roadblock that life has presented.  Counselling is not about telling someone what to do, but rather helping them explore feelings and options that might not be clear as they experience the emotions of an event or difficulty.  The best time to seek counselling is, well any time you just feel you need some clarity in life and a fresh view that those close to you cannot provide. So give it a try, do this for yourself and we think you’ll be glad you did.
