Counselling in 3070

Being human can be a wonderful thing, where we each have the opportunity to experience an intricate and rewarding range of thoughts and emotions. However, sometimes these thoughts and emotions can become overwhelming, and in some cases, intolerable. And despite our best efforts, we can't always find a way out of them. I know that sometimes we can feel ashamed that we can't manage on our own and this can prevent us from reaching out for help. It's important to feel ready, and I want you to know that when you're ready to talk, I'll be ready to listen.
