A myth about counselling you’d like to challenge

Myth: "Every counsellor is the same"

I say this is not true. Though some counsellors will be trained in the same approach (of which there are many!), each counsellor's way of being will be as unique as fingerprints. We aren't robots, we're human beings with our own experiences, quirks, humours, strengths and styles. Even though you may have had counsellors in the past you didn't gel with (I have been there) please don't let this put you off trying again to find one that feels right for you.
