Counselling is a process that empowers a person to develop inner strength, confidence and insight to sort out issues and reach decisions affecting their lives. Counselling helps the person to better understand themselves, others and their situation. It is a friendly, supportive and positive approach to personal development. Counselling is not about giving advice. It is about helping and supporting a person to find their own answers.
