We know from experience and the growing body of supportive literature […] that the therapeutic relationship a counsellor forms with each client can be the most powerful tool for helping clients change.

(Cochran & Cochran, 2015, p. ix)

“When we tackle obstacles, we find hidden reserves of courage and resilience we didnot know we had. And it is only when we are faced with failure do we realize that these resources were always there within us. We only need to find them and move on with our lives.”
