When to Seek Counselling Support
There are times when the support of a professional can help you navigate complex emotional concerns. Consider seeking counselling if:
- Something has been troubling you for a period of time, and you’re having difficulty finding a solution on your own.
- You feel overwhelmed, and it’s affecting your well-being, causing depression, anxiety, or stress.
- You find it hard to talk to friends or family because they are directly involved in the issues.
- Past issues are impacting your day-to-day life.
- Similar stressful emotions or situations keep reoccurring in your life.
