We know life is full of challenges, and that sometimes things can just feel like too much.
You might find yourself feeling angry all the time, or tearful and upset at the slightest thing, or pull away from everyone and feel very alone, as if everything is hopeless.
You might not feel like eating, or find yourself eating all the time.
Your sleep may be broken by nightmares and you could feel bad about yourself and maybe even want to hurt yourself.
When this happens it can help to talk to someone outside friends, school and family.

We've all heard that a good relationship needs work to keep it healthy, and we all want our relationship's to work.
How to do it is another matter!
Good communication is vital in any relationship, and this is where sitting together with a counsellor can really help.
Couples who have been to counselling generally benefit from the clarity it gives to their thoughts and the opportunity it gives to explore emotions in a calm, safe, undisturbed environment.
The role of the counsellor is not to tell you what to do, or even pass on advice, but to help you and your partner to find the best solutions that work for you.
