Whether you're dealing with stress, relationship issues, mental health concerns, or personal challenges, counseling offers a supportive environment for self-reflection and personal growth. It can empower you to make positive changes, improve your overall well-being, and develop the skills to handle life's challenges. If you're unsure, consider giving it a try to see if it's a beneficial avenue for your mental and emotional health.

How many counselling sessions do I require?

Counselling for mental health well-being is a very delicate matter. So, you must not rush. Take your time, calm down first and understand the process. The more you will get involved with the process, faster will be the recovery process. It has been observed that some people need 4 to 6 counselling sessions where some need more than that. In severe cases, you may need continuous counselling sessions throughout a prolonged period.
