Counselling changes lives!
|
Every counselling session should leave you with a feeling of optimism and peace knowing that you are heading in the right direction, toward the clarity and solutions you need. The goal of counselling is to “feel better” about you, your future, and your past. Regardless of the events that have transpired in your life; you deserve to feel strong and confident in your decisions about “what comes next.” A solution focused approach to psychotherapy, enables you to process events in your life and to focus on the best solutions for you.
