In counselling, the right of the client to make his/her own decisions is
respected.

one issue creating concern for you, but there may also be other issues you need to talk about.If you feel that you would like to talk to someone in the privacy of your own home, a Counsellor can come and visit you.
If you would like to come here to the Sight Centre and see a Counsellor, an appointment can be made. If you are interested in talking with a Counsellor or have questions you would like to ask about counselling, please do not hesitate to contact the Sight Centre.
