Hi, I'm Tanya, and I'm pleased to 'meet' you. So you're reading my profile and I'm thinking that maybe it's because you're considering counselling or maybe you're considering counselling for someone you care about. Either way it's great that you've got this far, because whether you're seeking support for yourself or someone else, it can be a daunting step, perhaps one of the hardest to make, yet one that can be so empowering. People seek counselling for all sorts of reasons and often when life all feels too much, however counselling can be used for when things are just starting to feel difficult hopefully preventing you to feel any worse.

It helps to share any worries or problems you may have and build your confidence and self-esteem.
