Counseling is a chance to talk confidentially with someone who can help you learn skills and new ways of looking at situations. This can help you be more capable of solving problems on your own.
Some clients benefit from one or two sessions of problem-solving, while some concerns may warrant further counselling sessions.

Although counsellors may differ somewhat in their approaches, there are certain similarities that characterize counseling. In the beginning stage of counseling, your counsellor will ask about your concerns to gain a deeper understanding of you. As counseling proceeds, trust between you and your counselor builds and a working partnership is developed. The counselor will help you to explore your feelings, make decisions, and resolve your concerns.
