Counselling offers guidance to understand oneself, one’s place in the world and to understand one’s relationships, objectives, motivations and therefore choices. Counsellor is someone who will objectively and honestly guide you in a safe and confidential environment, to understand the conflicts of your own experience in life. Although every counsellor has their own unique way of working, the outcome of such meetings with a counsellor is in general the same. This includes helping to make the right decisions and wiser choices in all aspects of our lives etc.
