What does Individual Counselling involve?

Individual Counselling will help you to make sense of various long-standing patterns of thinking and behaviour, increase your understanding, and tackle unhelpful patterns, working towards valuable change. Individual Counselling sometimes needs to explore the root of a problem, rather than focus only on the symptoms. Individual Counselling can identify intensely held beliefs, frequently unconscious, beliefs or outlook that can impact on the concern which is an important component of wellness and self awareness.
