People seek counselling for a variety of reasons, and at different stages in their lives. There is no rule or set structure for when someone should speak with a psychologist. Some of the most common reasons are for treatment of depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, low self esteem or lowered motivation. However some of the clients at Psychology Melbourne use counselling as part of a mental fitness program. They find their sessions with a psychologist help them to maintain healthy mental functioning so that they can respond better to unpredictable life stressors. People can attend counselling alone, with their partners (relationship counselling) or with their families (family counselling).
