If you’re here, then you’ve probably run into a very difficult time in life, and you’re looking for ways to get through it. A metaphor I find helpful is the idea of life as a journey, with lots of good terrain, but also lots of tough terrain. The tough terrain can represent many different struggles: relationship difficulties, stress, anxiety, family challenges, loss… you name it. A counsellor can be thought of as a local guide who is familiar with the tough terrain, and has experience helping people navigate the most difficult parts of their journey.
