"Loneliness kills. It's as powerful as smoking or alcoholism" says Robert Waldinger, who was part of Harvard Study of Adult Development.

Older adults often find themselves struggling while dealing with the challenges that they face as they age. Some of these challenges are:

• Negative Thinking and Depression
• Stress, Worry and Anxiety
• Mood Disorders
• Loneliness and Isolation
• Low self-worth, lack of motivation
• Bereavement
• Adjustment Problems

Counselling can help make it easier for the person who is experiencing such negative emotional states or difficulties in coping.
