Useful Information

Counselling, psychotherapy, and consultancy are all activities in which the relationship between the client (or patient) and the counsellor (or therapist) is not just an important contributor to the outcome: it is the main factor in securing a good outcome.

Dilemma counsellors and psychotherapists have been personally selected for their proven ability in making and maintaining a therapeutic relationship. They will listen to your particular predicament or difficulty, discuss it with you until you are sure that they have understood it, and then involve you in a discussion about what might be done.
