How can counselling help me cope with change?

We understand that changes, especially major ones, can be challenging and bring up all sorts of confusing feelings that may seem overwhelming. Counselling provides a supportive space to explore what you're going through and gain clarity about your next steps. Our counselors help you build resilience, understand your emotional reactions to change, and develop practical tools that make transitions feel more manageable and less daunting.
