Counselling offers you a way of working through issues at a pace that is right for you and to gain insights where before there might have been confusion. The choice is yours and a mixture of both therapies is an option, if preferred. For example, it might be you want to quit smoking, though see a number of reasons why it's been hard to stop before, so we look at and agree a plan to deal with those old issues first. Quitting smoking may seem easier once the way is cleared.
