What happens?
Taking the first step is often the hardest point of counselling.
- Meeting someone new, having to explain your story, feelings of being judged are all common worries that clients have.
- Often people are worried about the stigma of counselling but research shows that counselling helps people get over difficulties that they may be facing.
