What are the benefits of counselling?
Counselling is a form of professional support that helps individuals work through personal challenges and difficulties. It involves speaking with a counsellor or therapist who listens to concerns, offers guidance, and provides a safe and confidential space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
The goal of counselling is to help clients gain insight into their problems, develop coping strategies, and work toward positive changes in their lives.
