You may be experiencing some difficulty in your life, possibly a problematic relationship, or perhaps you have reached a crossroad in your life and would like to talk through the options with someone who is not involved. The counselling partnership will help you focus on what you want and how to work towards achieving your goal. Defining Counselling There are many definitions of what counselling is.
