Some clients feel a short number of sessions are adequate to help clarify, understand and cope with a difficult situation or a time of crisis or transition.

As no two people are the same, counselling is always a very unique and individual experience.

Stress anxiety and depression picture

Diagnosable depressive illnesses usually require medical investigation and it is always advisable in the first instance to talk with your GP.
