It is common to wonder whether counselling is the right step, particularly if you have never attended before. Some people seek counselling during a specific life difficulty, while others come simply because they feel something is not quite right and want space to reflect.
Counselling is not only for times of crisis. Many people find it helpful when navigating life changes, relationship challenges, stress, low mood, or periods of uncertainty. It can also be a space to better understand yourself, your patterns, and what matters most to you.
There is no expectation to know exactly what to say or where to begin. Counselling offers a confidential, non-judgemental environment where you can talk at your own pace, explore your thoughts and feelings, and decide what you would like to work towards.
Taking the first step can feel unfamiliar, but it can also be the beginning of greater clarity, understanding, and personal growth.
