Why talk to a Counsellor instead of a friend or family?

The very fact that they are outside your daily life, are not involved in your problems, will not judge or criticise you, know only what you tell them about yourself and therefore will not make assumptions, makes a Professional Counsellor different from family or friends.

There are often things we do not want to share or we may want to discuss with someone before talking to those close to us. The impact of what we want to discuss on friendships and family are also other considerations which lead us to seek out a counsellor who can provide a non-judgemental and safe environment with no pressure in which to explore our difficulties.

Whether it's to help you through personal difficulties, or with making choices, to think things through or consider your options you will find a safe andconfidential environment and a supportive human being who will listen to you.
