But sometimes, our coping strategies no longer yield the expected results. Sometimes, professional help is needed to get our life ‘back on track’. We face a variety of difficulties at different stages of our life. Counselling is a process that empowers an individual to seize back control of their lives. The individual understands more about themselves, it helps in increasing one’s self awareness and their patterns that have caused them to lose self esteem as well as confidence in their own abilities. It is based on a growth model that helps an individual to take a step towards discovering a more positive and fulfilling life.

Counselling is a safe space to hear yourself think out loud about your life, express how you’re really feeling and discuss concerns and worries with someone who won’t judge you. Sometimes when an individual is worried or stuck in a difficult situation, they develop a narrow sense of vision where they restrict their own ability to live their life as they would like to.
