WHAT IS COUNSELLING ?
Counselling is a facilitative and interactive process where the Counsellor/therapist provides to the client emotional help, guidance, insight, nurturance and clarity to life situations, crises and dilemmas. Counselling can also be perceived as a partnership between the therapist and the client where they explore together to reach a greater understanding and freedom of what may be causing hurt, fear, pain, depression,anxiety,loneliness, estrangement, hopelessness, frustration and/or the lack of meaning in ones life.
People often behave in ways without knowing why they do so and may be living or behaving in ways that they would like to understand better and change. The process of counseling helps to bring insight and awareness to their unconscious feelings and behaviors and the connection between them. This counseling process can eventually allow the individual greater freedom in making choices that eventually helps them to achieve self sufficiency, a greater sense of self-worth and empowerment.

This is because it is very possible to relieve self from the endless suffering of some of the symptoms mentioned and actually escalate these states and becoming habitual by avoiding professional help.
