More about Counselling
There are many different therapies that can be used by counsellors, some involve looking at past relationships and experiences to make sense of them, and others involve looking at the ‘here and now’. Research shows that the main factor determining the success of the therapy is not the technique used, but the relationship between the client and the counsellor.
