Counselling can take place face-to-face or over the telephone or, in some cases, by email. It may be a single session,a short-term course of sessions for a few weeks or months, or as a longer term arrangement that may last for months or even years. Counselling can help people come to terms with distressing or traumatic events, such as the loss of a loved one, divorce, or confusion about identity or sexual orientation. It can also be an effective way of dealing with long-term mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety. Counselling can be a positive way of addressing any unresolved issues. It can help people to achieve a better understanding of their problems and can also help people to gain a better understanding of other people's points of view.
