5. What problems/issues can be treated with counselling?

Counselling can help with a wide range of personal, emotional, and psychological issues. Some common areas where counselling can be beneficial include:

  • Mental health conditions—such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, and phobias.
  • Stress and burnout—from work, relationships, or life changes.
  • Grief and loss—coping with the death of a loved one, a breakup, or a major life transition.
  • Relationship issues—conflicts with partners, family members, or friends.
  • Self-esteem and confidence—overcoming negative self-perception and building resilience.
  • Addictions and unhealthy behaviours—such as substance abuse, gambling, or eating disorders.
  • Trauma recovery—healing from past traumatic experiences.
  • Personal development—exploring identity, values, or future goals.
  • Coping with physical health conditions—adjusting to illness or chronic pain.
  • Life transitions—such as moving, career changes, or retirement.

Everyone’s situation is unique, and counselling provides a safe space to explore thoughts and emotions with professional guidance.
