The concept of counselling is based on change. Change of circumstances, change of perspective, of coping abilities and of behaviour. The role of the counsellor is not to advise, it is to listen, explore and help our clients identify choices for their future. The aim of the counsellor is to help clients recognise how they would realistically like their lives to be and help them to achieve their goals.
