Examples of some challenges we face are:- • Difficulty with work, relationships, family or friend • Struggling after the loss of someone or something we cared for • Difficulty balancing our work, family, study or other commitments • Failing to achieve our goals • Stress; Anxiety; Depression • Trauma Recognising this, many people are choosing counselling to: work on goals important to them better manage stress; & increase emotional well-being Empowering themselves to live richer, more meaningful lives.
