Counselling provides a safe and confidential place to share, explore and tackle a wide range of personal problems and difficulties. This generally happens in a one-to-one professional relationship with a qualified Counsellor.  It can also take place in a group  (eg if working with a family group).    It is often the first step on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, leading to the resolution of problems, self-determinism and a more balanced and fulfilled life.
