Individual Counselling 

Finding it hard to concentrate? Have troubles on your mind that you think no-one understands? Have stress, sadness, grief happening in your life and friends/family are not enough to talk too? Individual counselling is a personal opportunity to receive support and experience growth during challenging times in life. Individual counselling can help one deal with many personal topics in life such as anger, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, marriage and relationship challenges, parenting problems, school difficulties, career changes, and the list goes on. Individual counselling (sometimes called psychotherapy, talk therapy) is a process through which people work one-on-one with a trained counsellor in a safe, caring, and confidential environment. Counselling allows people to explore their feelings, beliefs, and behaviours, work through challenging or influential memories, identify aspects of their lives, that they would like to change, and better understand themselves and others, set personal goals, and work towards desired changes. Individual counselling is counselling conversations focused on the individual's immediate or near future concerns. Individual counselling may include career counselling and planning, grief after a loved one dies or dealing with problems at a job before they become big. Individual counselling is a one-on-one discussion between the counsellor and the client, who is the person seeking support. Counsellor and client form an alliance, relationship or bond that enables trust and personal growth and self-discovery. 

Anxiety

Anxiety can have deeper causes such as unresolved personal issues.   Anxiety can range from feeling a constant unease to overwhelming terror.  Some people with Anxiety experience panic attacks where they feel physical sensations such as rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, shaking, sweating, light headedness, and have gone to the emergency room and have been told "There is nothing wrong with you physically".  This is a relief on one hand, but it often leaves the panic attack sufferer even more confused.  Panic Attacks are quite common and counselling can give you the tools to help you cope with them and find the underlying causes.

Stress

Everyone experiences stress like feeling frantic when there is a lot to get done. Stress becomes a serious problem when people feel frazzled most of the time and they cannot enjoy life. For example, if they are frequently too worried, or lose sleep over their problems.

Self-Esteem

Most people experience self-doubt at times and wonder “Am I good enough?” or feel embarrassed or not as good about themselves when they do not succeed at things they try to do. When people feel this way nearly all of the time, feel they are “useless”, do not like themselves overall, and cannot feel pride even when they succeed. Then low self-esteem robs them of the full enjoyment of life and is a more serious problem. People with low self-esteem take set backs harder than people who do not because they blame themselves. People with chronic low self-esteem can make major improvements in their lives through counselling. 

Relationship/Couples Counselling 

Are you finding your relationships hard to; understand, listen and communicate with one another? Are you wanting to either work on your relationship and resolve issues or to know one another on a deeper level? Self-discovery counselling is dedicated to helping you identify new self-discoveries, and strengthen your relationships, regardless of the issue, or the size of the issue. Self-discovery Counselling strives to help you build strong relationships to help you get through. The way we are in our lives are strongly guided and influenced by the relationships we have created. Whether it is your relationship with your parents, children, intimate other, siblings, colleagues, extended family – the way we relate and connect to others is what defines how we fit in this world. We all have many and varied relationships and when these fall over or become difficult and conflicting it can upset us terribly. We all are hard-wired to need connection with others. If you are struggling in a relationship that matters to you and would like to gain greater understanding and possible resolution and greater connectedness within this relationship self-discovery is where you can try to establish new insights and discoveries to help you move towards that experience. 

Grief and Bereavement Counselling 

Grief can be experienced in many ways; it can also get in the way of getting on with your life. Wouldn't it be nice to have the skills to address, identify and discover self managing strategies and techniques that can allow you to continue with your day to day operations without being too distracted. 

Family Counselling 

Is there times in your lives were your family don't get it? Are there times when you wish you could talk to them and be listened too? An aspect of counselling is family counselling which highlights the importance of involving the whole family unit. 

What is FAMILY COUNSELING? 

Family therapy is to help family members improve communication, solve family problems, understand and handle special family situations (for example, separation, sibling rivalries, deaths, or child and adolescent issues), and create a better functioning home environment. For children and adolescents, family counselling most often is used when the child or adolescent has a personality, anxiety, or mood disorder that impairs their family and social functioning, and when a step-family is formed or begins having difficulties adjusting to the new family life. Families with members from a mixture of racial, cultural, and religious backgrounds, as well as families made up of same-sex couples who are raising children, may also benefit from family therapy.
