In counselling, one of our most important tasks is helping you to talk about your problem.It is always helpful to put a problem into words, rather than leaving it going around in your head.
By talking, you may well make important decisions for yourself.
It can be very reassuring, because most likely we have heard of similar problems, on many other occasions.
It is helpful, when we can say that the last person, seen with this problem, was over it in a particular length of time.
