Needs

Universal Truth-The more self-aware we are, the less judgemental we are of our needs. The more empowered we are to care for our needs. Now the personal questions you might ask yourself:

What do I need?

Is my need different than what I want?

What am I willing to do to meet my needs?

What is my plan to meet one need at a time?

Wants

What do I want out of counselling?

Where does this desire come from?

What is my commitment to achieve the results I want?
