You may be considering counselling to address family issues, problems in relationships or unresolved issues from your past. Without support life can be overwhelming, stressful and confusing, leading to anxiety or depression. Seeking support through counselling is a significant step forward to work through your issues for a more promising future. Counselling works! I know this from experiencing it from both sides, as client and counsellor.  However experience has taught me that therapy isn't a one size fits all thing, we are all different, with our own unique story. ​
