What is Counselling?

Counselling is the skilled and principled use of relationship to facilitate self- knowledge, emotional acceptance and growth, and the optimal development of personal resources. Increase in self-awareness can support choice, and the opportunity to attune to our most authentic self with wisdom and compassion.

Counselling provides a space to explore developmental issues, conflicts, behaviours, relationships, feelings, or thoughts, which cause difficulty in one’s life. It is also a source of support in a crisis or during a difficult time. It can support creative adjustment to life’s challenges. The overall aim of counsellors is to provide an opportunity for people to work towards living more authentically and enjoyably.
