"I a learning to trust the journey, even when I do not understand it" Mila Bron
We live in such a fast and demanding world. Consequently, we don't have the time to "check in" with ourselves and the lives we are living.
It is not until we experience certain crossroads in our life that many of us are forced to do what is called a "Life Audit".
At some point in our lives, we will face difficult life choices. These choices can sometimes affect our loved ones and therefore it is difficult to turn to them for help when you need objectivity and help about a particular life issue.
Counsellors are objective and have no agenda other than to help you.
We explore what is going on for you, help you grow emotionally and make sense of your life and the decisions you want or need to make.
