Often counselling is misunderstood as a service only offered or provided to people who have suffered an extreme traumatic event or who are suffering from severe mental illness.  This is a myth.  

Counselling is available to anyone and everyone experiencing difficulties in themselves and their life; whether those difficulties are dissatisfaction and despondency in life in general or difficulty with feelings such as anxiety, depression, grief or anger etc.  

Counselling is sought by people who may be isolated or alone without a sufficient support network and is also sought by people who although they have family, friends and a well established framework, feel they need to talk to someone who is independant and objective of friends and family.
