Counselling is a collaborative and dynamic approach to self-compassion, healing and support. Benefits of counselling could include gaining personal insights, learning new ways to cope with or solve interpersonal conflicts, or changing unwanted behaviours. It can offer a space to explore difficult experiences, emotions, and can help you tap into your self-awareness and strength. It can allow an opportunity for a journey closer to self that finds new meaning in past experiences.
