People come to counselling because they feel bad and they want to feel better. They know it may be a little difficult at times, but they hope it will be swift and that they will see a clear improvement week by week. It makes sense doesn’t it? If your body aches, you go to see a professional, whether it’s a masseur or a chiropractor. It takes a few sessions and you’re done. If your feelings hurt, you go to see a counsellor. A few sessions of talking and you feel yourself once more. (more…)

I’m walking down Floral Street, no umbrella, under a dark March sky, and I meet my friend Dan. “How are you doing?” says Dan. I notice he’s looking a bit peaky. “Yes fine,” I say and it’s only a few moments of small talk before we part, without reluctance, both busy – and after all, I tell myself, I don’t know Dan very well, he’s more of an acquaintance than a real friend. And then, a few moments later, thank goodness, I’m into the dry of the Tube.
