Counselling can be a process of self-discovery, or problem solving. If you are doing great and would like to process your thoughts and feelings, counselling can help.

If you are a feeling a bit stuck, counselling is a great tool to help clarify your goals and strategise their accomplishment.

Perhaps you have a concern which needs to be clarified, or you are feeling overwhelmed, or angry or sad, or maybe you are unsure how you are feeling. Counselling provides a safe platform for you to explore your inner world.

You decide your goals. 

Something which sets us humans apart from the animal kingdom is our ability to learn language(s). A baby cries for hunger, pain, sadness, frustration, loneliness and everything else. As we grow and develop, we learn language to express these emotions in more spesific ways. When an emotion can be experienced physically and expressed symbollically through language or movement, somehow the pain loses its power. The dread of exposure keeps one in chains, yet acknowledged shame becomes a mere vapour. 

Counselling is a process, not an event. It can be compared to seeds growing in a garden. Sometimes, it is best to leave the vegetation to grow as pruning will do more damage than good. Other times it is necessary to go in and prune some branches away to allow for greater growth. Issues with our internal persons, needs to be ready to be addressed. There needs to be a safe, trusting realtionship. Even then it works like an onion; layer by layer. You cannot force a bottom layer off without going through the outer layers. And one can only survive so many layers at any one time. 

Our time spent on this earth is filled with many unknowns. There can be no shame if at any time one stops to ask for direction, even if it is just a place to unpact the journey already travelled.

In fact, it may even be considered foolish to complete a journey without ever reflecting on the road travelled.
