The chance to help other people
Addiction Counselling is helping those who have an addiction with something to overcome it. This can be anything from alcohol, to sex, drugs or shoplifting. Many counsellors have said that they receive a great satisfaction from knowing that they are helping many people to live better lives, and having to liaise with different people on a regular basis is another rewarding perk of the job.
