You might find yourself turning to ways to distract yourself from the stress and worries of your life only to find that they are creating a whole new set of problems. If you have ever noticed that the harder you try to make life better, the more difficult it becomes, then you might be ready for a change. Could you use someone to talk to? At Laird Counselling Services, we help with sleep, stress management, endless worrying, work-life balance, food and body image, and alcohol or drug misuse. Our goal is to help others live empowered lives. We believe that everyone is the expert in their own life and that our job is to help you find the answers that lie within. We invite you to reach out.
