Counselling

Counselling offers people the opportunity to increase their self awareness and therefore begin the journey of bringing positive change in to their lives. Through working from a deeper level clients are able to overcome their obstacles and develop freedom and success in their lives.

Counselling is a partnership between the counsellor and the client. Keren will use listening skills and varying therapeutic techniques to explore issues and help the client to reach solutions. At Peace of Mind, Keren works with the whole person. She recognizes that people have the potential to heal themselves if given enough support and guidance. The client may be an individual, a couple, a family, a child or a group of people. Keren offers counselling across the following areas: Grief and Loss -Relationships - Life transitions - Self esteem - Stress Management - Family issues - Work/Life balance - Weight issues


Reiki

Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is a Japanese name loosely translated as universal life force. It works on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels to heal holistically - that is, it heals the whole person - not just the symptoms. Keren is able to channel and direct positive and healing 'universal energy' to you. Keren finds that Reiki used on its own or in conjunction with conventional therapy dramatically improves a person’s sense of well being.

Healing is usually gentle and non-intrusive, yet it produces remarkable results. The client lies on a comfortable couch, fully clothed. Keren will guide them through a relaxation exercise to help them relax. She then gently places her hands in key positions. It's extremely relaxing, as well as therapeutic. The warmth of the healing and the room is combined with relaxing music, the scent of pure essential oils, and the soft glow of candlelight. You may drift into a relaxing half-sleep and awake feeling completely calm.

A treatment can run from a quick thirty minute energizer to an hour or longer depending on the treatment required. A treatment runs for one hour and covers all the important organs of the body.

There is no pressure on the body making it ideal for treating all ages and conditions. The energy flows wherever it is required and can normally be felt as a warm sensation or tingling in the body. Receiving Reiki is a very relaxing and soothing experience!


About me

---

Peace of Mind was established by Keren Ludski in 2002. Keren is a fully qualified and registered counsellor. Keren holds Clinical membership of both the Australian Counselling Association and the Counsellors and Psychotherapists association of Victoria. She specialises in providing support across a wide range of counselling services. Keren aims to create an environment where the client feels safe, comfortable and supported. Keren can help clients explore feelings and emotions that are often related to their experiences. This allows them to reflect on what is happening to them and to consider alternative ways of doing things. Working in a confidential setting, Keren listens attentively to her clients and offers them the time; empathy and respect they need to express their own feelings and perhaps understand themselves from a different perspective. The aim is to reduce their confusion and enable them to make changes in their life if they decide to do so.

Keren works collaboratively with the client to help them make the decisions that are right for them. This is done by assisting them to better understand themselves and providing options, setting goals and helping them to take action. Keren believes that once you have decided what you want from therapy, that it is important to choose appropriate milestones along the way, so that progress is tangible. Peace of Mind can give you the energy and the support to help you take responsibility for your life and have the courage to make the necessary changes in order to grow and develop.
