Daily life can sometimes be overwhelming. Stresses and challenges can outweigh our ability to manage our circumstances, particularly when something extra is added to the load.

 

Perhaps an old issue has resurfaced for you and has become unmanageable. Many things may have triggered this for you – losing a job, illness, moving countries (or just across town), discovering your partner has been unfaithful, a separation, conflict, or a traumatic experience. Maybe you're struggling with addiction.

 

Issues like these can be difficult and can sometimes cause major anxiety or depression.

 

Burying the issue won’t make it go away. Finding a counsellor to talk with may be the key to moving forward to the resolution you need. Sometimes you just need to talk with someone who cares – confidentially and without judgement. We all need to feel heard and understood.

 

Counselling can help identify and clarify current issues, teach you new ways to manage emotions and help you find solutions to manage or resolve your situation.

 

Seeking help from a counsellor (also known as a therapist) and finding the right fit for you is important. Research has shown that the most effective counselling comes from finding a professional best suited to a person’s particular needs.

 

If you are holding on to a burning issue, then maybe it’s time to talk.

TAKING THE FIRST STEP

 

It can sometimes be scary to acknowledge that you need support, and even harder to reach out to a stranger. Thinking about taking the first step towards finding a counsellor to work with, may even temporarily increase your anxieties.
