Counselling can help you feel more supported, more in control and have more awareness of what shaped you.

People have counselling when they have experienced life changes, such as bereavement, job loss, change in circumstance, bullying, addictions, or are feeling strong emotions - loss, guilt, sadness, emptiness, fear.

Counselling can help - talking and understanding can make things better.
