Common Issues that Counselling helps You can bring any issue to counselling. The full list of issues that we deal with is a very long one, but some common issues               include: Repeated unhelpful patterns: Having the same argument or choosing the same sort of partner? Or just being stuck                        in a cycle of depression or poor life choices.

Overcoming irrational fears: Just can't stop the thoughts and fears running round and round in your head.
