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 personal resources are low or the challenge is significant and you need the support and guidance of a professional to help you deal with concerns. These concerns might involve emotional intimacy, relationships, infidelity, divorce, sexual issues (male/female/couple), depression, anxiety, grief, anger, trauma, assertiveness, self-esteem, stress, personality or mental health challenges, and general wellbeing.
I believe patients have the capacity to manage challenges with the support of a collaborative approach. The process of counselling, either individually as a couple, can assist you find solutions for greater control and happiness. I routinely see patients discover a more pleasant and satisfying life due to our sessions, their work, and the support of other health professionals, family and friends.
Some 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 control of the professional process.
Sometimes, exploring sensitive issues and the past can be of some distress. If you become upset due to what is discussed, we can address this. When counselling is 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 integrated which means that I draw upon a multitude of proven approachs to find a way that will fit 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 building a close working relationship, I access a range of strategies (including evidence-based treatments) to understand, support and develop patients. Rather than shrinking heads my therapy is about expanding choices. I am known for my approach as being friendly, educational and practical.
I offer free email and free telephone contact for current patients who need to check-in briefly between sessions, as well as for people who wish to discuss how I might be able to help them.
I see patients on Mo, Tu, Th, Fr: 8am - 5pm. |
