Counselling does involve discussing difficult topics that may be distressing however many many people report feeling better just by reviewing their problems in the clinical setting of the counselling room.
An old saying “a problem shared is a problem halved” was put to the test in the US recently and the results showed that when people talk to someone about a difficult situation their stress levels reduce. - Psychology Today

BLOG
I am passionate about my work and proud of the qualifications I have achieved. In addition to this and the annual training that is important for this role, I have seen the value of counselling first hand. This is in my own journey as a child to parents now deceased, a marriage partner, as Mum to two children (now in their twenties) and as a friend and a colleague in the workplace. This is the professional and personal base from which I offer counselling.
