					<description><![CDATA[A common question I am asked at the start of counselling is: "Have you worked with this type of problem before?"  The client wishes to believe that I can help them if I have successfully helped someone else who worked with the same problems in counselling.  There is no guarantees that if I have worked with someone else's issues that this will shine any promise on another client coming to counselling with the same problems ... because counselling is not *done* to you, you are a participant in the process. This page gives a brief summary of some of the subjects that have been presented for counselling.]]></description>
