Why seek counselling?
People come with a wide range of problems, concerns and uncertanties. What is usually common is the realisation that it would be helpful to dicuss their problems with an independent, neutral person in order to solve them more effectively.

  • People discuss such issues as:
  • Difficulties adjusting to University
  • Relationship problems
  • Drug and alcohol problems
  • Anxiety
  • Mental illness
  • Concerns about sex and sexuality
  • Physical and sexual abuse
  • Study problems
  • Difficulties with a supervisor, teacher or colleague
  • Cultural concerns
  • Lack of friends and support
  • Depression
  • Eating disorders
  • Stress
  • Traumatic experiences
  • .....and many many more reasons.
