Perhaps they have problems with their anger or live with shame, blame and guilt.
They may have experienced loss or trauma of some kind.
It could be a bereavement, or loss of relationship or job.
Or they just want to feel happier and create a better life.
Some people have problems with relationships, with a partner, family member or somebody at work.
Others struggle with parenting issues.
People come into therapy because they are dealing with addiction, compulsion, phobia, obsession.
Or they come with a health problem.
