COUNSELLING
Challenges in life are a reality for us all and many people are able to confidently deal with most of what they experience. Friends, family and colleagues are of great assistance.
Occasionally, you find your personal resources are low or the challenge is significant and you need the support and guidance of a professional who is able to help you deal with important concerns. These personal issues might involve intimacy, relationships, infidelity, divorce, depression, anxiety, grief, anger, assertiveness, self-esteem, stress, personality or mental health challenges, and general well-being.
I see my patients as having the capacity to resolve their own challenges with the support of collaborative consultations. The process of counselling, either individually, as a couple or family, will assist you to find solutions for greater control and happiness in your life. I routinely see patients discover a more pleasant and satisfying life after our sessions.
Some of my patients need a few sessions to achieve the self-awareness and problem-solving they seek, while others require many sessions over an extended period of time. As a patient you are in complete control and may end the professional relationship when you want.
Sometimes, exploring sensitive issues and the past can be of some distress for patients. If you become upset due to what is discussed, we will address this in session. When counselling is ultimately successful, you will feel you are able to face life's challenges in the future without my support.
Because of my varied education I have
a counselling style that is technically eclectic (integrated) which means that I draw upon a multitude of approachs to find the method that will fit best with the specific needs of a patient - I use my training in ABA, ACT, CBT, DBT, EFT, IPT, MFT, MI, PP, REBT, RT, SFBT, SST, ST....ETC, ETC! What this means is that in addition to being able to build a close working relationship, I access a range of strategies (including evidence-based treatments) to understand, support and challenge patients. Rather than shrinking the head, my therapy is about expanding choices.
I offer free email and free telephone contact for current patients who need to check-in between sessions, for past patients who want to touch base, as well as for people who simply wish to discuss how I might be able to help them.
I see patients Monday - Friday: 9am - 5pm. |
