Counselling can offer you a space to talk and think about problems and difficulties. Many people find it helpful to be able to do this with someone who is not a friend or family member.

First thing to remember is that counselors are not the same as doctors and psychiatrists, and cannot prescribe medication. Counselling is not about giving advice, but can help you understand difficulties.

In conclusion your counselor can work with you to help you make decisions and changes that may work better for you.
