Counselling for someone else?
Generally I don't respond to general requests for counselling for "someone else".
This is because I see this as one of two options
1 - The person who wants therapy is not able to request for themselves because either they are under age (adolescent or child) or have special needs - I don't have training in either of these areas.
2 - the requestor feels that someone else needs therapy but hasn't convinced this other person to request it themselves. This isn't going to work - there are some very specific situations where a client is "sent" to therapy but in general unless someone wants therapy it isn't going to work for them.

I thought this was a really good analysis of why people might not want to go to therapy.

Talking to a therapist can't possibly help you—or can it?

I found this useful article in Psychology Today on sudden death of a loved one and I think it is a great summary of how we can work through and come out the other side.
