Counselling in HA1

Maybe you feel numb and detached from life and everything seems to be foggy like your watching life through a glass window? Maybe you work so hard not to be critically depressed all the time, that it has turned into a full time job with no energy for anything else. The insight obtained in therapy, will help you to better identify your needs and will give you a greater freedom and maturity when responding to difficult situations and indeed, everyday life.
