What is counselling?
The real question is... "Why Ask for help?"
The truth is, life is not always that smooth and everyone experiences ups and downs. Adding to this, the lifestyle that you and I live in can be so fast-paced, so isolated that we hardly have a chance to sit down with someone and openly share our struggles.
And when you feel you're not ready yet to talk with someone you know, that's where counselling comes in. You don't have to be afraid of approaching counsellors because counselling is just like us talking to someone about our problems, except it's in a more professional setting, hopefully with a trained counsellor with clearly defined goals in a clearly defined structure.
Some people still find that troublesome. They still refuse to get help though they really hope to talk to someone. That's where eCounselling Centre comes in! eC2 is an online facility where you are able to chat one-on-one with a professional counsellor about the issues you are facing in life. We have a saying here at eGen that "eC2 is a place where we figure out life together!" And really, that's what we are about.
Now there should be no more excuses. It's already at your door step. Anyone who has internet connection can sign on and talk to a counsellor at eC2. You don't have to take a bus somewhere on a hot and humid day! And best of all.... IT'S FREE!!!
However, there are times when online counselling isn't suitable, such as if you're suicidal or experiencing mental health issues. Please refer to our main page for more resources.
