Counselling is a type of exploratory talking therapy that allows people to discuss what they are going through in a non-judgemental and supportive environment. It allows for more time focused on going through your feelings and making meaning of what is going on in your life and of your past. If you’re struggling with something that happened in the past, counselling can help you make conclusions and help you move forward.
A trained therapist will be listening to you and helping you think of ways you can deal with your feelings more positively.
How can counselling help?
You might opt for counselling when the issue you are dealing with in your life is caused by something that is beyond your control – i.e. a job redundancy or bereavement. Or, if you’re not sure whether or how you want something to change – i.e. like a relationship in your life.
Counselling helps you adjust to difficult circumstances. It is a way of expressing your feelings, finding meaning and clarity in what you’re going through. It is also helpful if you are unsure where the problem lies exactly.
Why counselling?

A mental health issue such as depression and anxiety
A difficult life event such as a bereavement or work-related stress
