Individual Counselling
The decision to seek professional help for a personal matter is not always easy. Our commitment is to respond to you with caring, competent and confidential help.
Perhaps you've wanted to talk to someone about your concern for a long time, but never knew how to start. Perhaps you're not even sure what the specific reason is for feeling so much turmoil inside. Recognizing that there is a problem is the first step to finding a solution. When facing a change or unexpected crisis, people react in many different ways.
SIGNS THAT YOU MIGHT NEED HELP :
Feelings of loneliness, isolation and depression
Constant anxiety and a fear of the future
Burnout and severe stress
Emotional distress when talking about your life
Violent reactions or intense anger and hostility
Verbal abuse
Weight fluctuation or irregular eating patterns
Compulsive behaviour with alcohol, drugs or gambling
Post-traumatic stress Disorder
