How Counselling Can Help You

Hello, my name is Trevor. I have recently completed a course of counselling at my local health clinic. A few years ago, I was involved in a serious accident and since then, I have struggled with my moods, I have had trouble sleeping and I have been feeling very depressed. I was very skeptical about counselling to begin with. I just didn't see how talking to someone would help when all of the drugs I had been given hadn't done a thing. However, I was surprised to find that opening up about my feelings with someone really improved my mental health and I am now feeling much better. I have since bcome interested in counselling so I decided to start this blog to encourage others to seek help.
