What is Counselling?
“Counselling” and “therapy” are often used interchangeably, but they involve different approaches to treating a patient.

However, counselling is the process of searching for a solution, whereas therapy assists in gaining understanding about a situation and finding meaning in the challenges the patient is experiencing. With counselling, you will talk through any issues may have and discuss solutions to these problems.
What issues might Counselling be used for?
- A mental health condition
- A physical health condition that is affecting your mental health
- A challenging obstacle in your life
- Relationship issues (marital, familial, etc.)
