Counselling and Therapy
Have you ever found yourself in need of help personally or with a relationship but not known what to do. We can help in the following areas:
Individual Therapy
Have you felt disconnected from those around you and lonely? Do you often feel sad, angry, or worried? Have you recently suffered the loss of a loved one, a relationship or a job? Do you wish you enjoyed life more and knew why you feel the way you do?
Individual therapy is a time for you to explore and care for yourself, and become confident and secure in your ability to cope with the hardships that are affecting your day-to-day life.
Couples Counselling
A considerable part of our joy and fulfillment lies in the attachment to our significant other. When our relationship suffers, emotional distress often leads to physical health deterioration.. Couples Counselling is an investment in your relationship where the relationship, rather than the two individuals, is the “client”. As you invest, communication patterns can improve, trust can be regained and intimacy can be restored.
Anxiety Counselling
The tension, worry, persistent thoughts, and inability to relax associated with anxiety can be physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausting. Fortunately, Counselling is a highly effective treatment.
Depression Counselling
The persistent feeling of sadness, loss of interest, and inability to find satisfaction in those things where you once found pleasure can make life difficult to manage. Although it can often feel impossible to work through the underlying causes of your depression, counselling can restore hope and support you to discover the confidence and resilience that you have to deal with the challenges life presents you with.
Low Self-Esteem Counselling
The lack of confidence about who you are and what you can do can often lead to you avoiding social situations or things that you may find challenging. Thankfully, there are various counselling approaches that can offer a solution to support you in rebuilding a sense of engagement with the world.
Trauma Counselling
The flashbacks, nightmares, disrupted sleeping pattern, and accompanying anxiety can be emotionally and physically debilitating. It may feel like there is no escape from the recurring symptoms. Talking through the traumatic events and exploring the issues through well-established counselling techniques is generally regarded as the most effective solution.
Trauma counselling is a short-term intervention, which is appropriate when a person has suffered a traumatic incident. Trauma comes in all shapes and sizes; events such as divorce, job loss, death, rape, car accident, illness, failing an exam, losing your car or house – in fact any event that you regard as negative and that changes your view of yourself and your world.
Trauma counselling supports you in identifying and coming to terms with the feelings and emotions you may feel during and after a traumatic experience. These emotions will vary from individual to individual, but the most commonly experienced emotions are anger and fear.
PTSD
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder can occur after a traumatic event. Symptoms vary but can include panic attacks and flashbacks where you relive the event. Left untreated it can lead to self-medicating with alcohol, prescription drugs or illegal drugs. Timely treatment is crucial. Speaking with a therapist can help immensely when trying to overcome the persistent, difficult feelings and anxieties that often follow a traumatic experience. Discussions in therapy are confidential, between you and your therapist.
