I understand how it can be a very confusing time trying to understand how counselling might work for you and also a daunting prospect to place your trust in a complete stranger. Many of my clients are very nervous at first contact.

You may have had counselling before and have some idea of what to expect or maybe this is all very new. I have worked for many years with clients, some have had counselling before and some clients are so nervous they almost don't make the first session!
It doesn't matter who we are or what we do, sometimes we reach a point where we feel unable to cope. Feelings of despair, anxiety or hopelessness can overcome us and it can be difficult to see a way out.
