Better Ways of Managing Your Life

Talking about your problems in a safe place helps:

• relieve the sense of being alone with problems - it shares the load
• you feel listened to and understood
• you tackle patterns of behaviour which are out of character, or destructive habits which are interfering with your ability to live life to the full, such as:
  • alcohol/drug dependency
  • risks with sexual health
  • eating problems
  • gambling
  • debt
  • working too hard
  • angry behaviour

Counselling can help you challenge negative feelings which undermine your confidence, such as:

• not feeling good enough
• fearing failure
• Unable to cope
• low self esteem
• guilt or shame
