Work-related problems
“Whatever you can do Or dream you
can, begin it Boldness has
genius, Power and magic
in it.” Working life today is more stressful than it
has ever been. Whether you work in a
business, the public sector, health, education or for a charity, the pressure
to perform is relentless. However well
you do your job, they always want more – and give you less time and resources
to provide it. No job is

find it difficult to enjoy anything in our lives. How can
counselling help? The pace of
modern life is so frenetic that it is difficult to think straight about our

no axe to grind. By talking to a
counsellor, you can come to understand what really matters to you. Ways of dealing with a particular colleague
or of striking a better balance between work and home may occur to you. If you are thinking of changing job, you can
get clear in your own mind what would be the advantages and answer those
