At various times in our lives we all have unhappy periods, and these may lead to confused and overwhelming feelings.  These unhappy times may or may not be connected to specific problems.

For some people, it helps to talk to someone outside their immediate family or friends, and if this is the case a professionally trained counsellor may be the person to help you.

Counselling can help you make sense of your life, resolve specific problems, help you to make decisions, help you deal with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, addictions, abuse, bereavement, divorce or separation, conflict with others, relationships, and many other issues affecting emotional and mental well-being.

The aim of counselling is for the counsellor to help you to help yourself, and counsellors do this in many different ways.  They may just listen, as speaking out loud about your problems helps you put your thoughts in order.  The counsellor will not tell you what to do, and you will be left to make your own choices.  Some counsellors, however, may go through a whole list of options, and examine the pros and cons of each option, so that you can make better informed decisions.
