There are times in our lives when we experience distressing events and feelings which seem to have no end or solution. Sometimes we know that our feelings are due to particular circumstances. At other times we may have no idea what is making us feel the way we do. Counselling can help people clarify their thoughts and feelings to arrive at their own decisions, or even make major changes in their lives.
