When to Seek Help

Sometimes we feel very challenged by life. Seeking help, when we are not coping as well as we want, is an act of strength not weakness. If you feel you have been struggling too long and it is affecting your relationships, causing you distress at work, or impeding your growth, you may want to consider investing in counselling.

The following questions may help you to decide if counselling would be beneficial:

• Do you feel very stressed with challenges in your life?
• Do you feel a lot of anxiety and/or fear?
• Do you want to learn how to cope better?
• Do you have unresolved, painful, past experiences that are affecting you?
• Do you want to feel more at peace and free?
• Do you feel down?
• Do you want to learn how to build your self-esteem?
• Have you suffered a loss? Do you feel overwhelmed by grief? Do you want process your grief and move toward healing?
• Do you get easily irritated or angry? Do you want to learn skills for taking care of your anger better?
• Are you struggling with relationship/intimacy issues? Do you want to enhance your ability to love and be loved?
• Do you want to learn how to communicate better?
