Why do people choose counselling?

People come to counselling for a variety of reasons, many of which they may not fully understand. When we are struggling with issues in our personal lives, when others hurt us or leave us, when we are alone or afraid we seem to be wired up to seek others to talk to. It has always helped to share a problem and in our somtimes fragmented society, it can be helpful to seek counsel in a supportive professional setting.
