Counselling is a therapeutic process that involves talking with a trained professional to address a wide range of emotional, psychological, and interpersonal issues. It provides a safe and confidential space to explore and understand your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and to develop strategies for managing challenges and achieving personal goals.
