General & Health Counselling, Mediation & Consultancy

At General & Health Counselling, Mediation & Consultancy, our trained Counsellor/Psychotherapist's aim is to help you gain a new perspective about whatever is troubling you. Clients often seek counselling when in a state of crisis, or experiencing a low point of existence such as being in possession of a poor self concept, or poor self care. They are often in extreme emotional, psychological or physical pain, with concerns about stability, self-protection or personal preservation due to a fragile sense of self. The focus of counselling and therapy is helping you, the client, to handle the crisis and survive internal or external conflict. Together we identify what might be stopping you from reaching your full potential as an empowered individual and what action you need to take to improve your situation.

Many of GHCMC clients can be helped with only a few consultations. Some issues may require more long-term assistance. This timeframe will depend on the nature of the your presenting situation and sense of self. Your counsellor will discuss with you at the time of your first consultation how many sessions will be necessary to effectively deal with those problematic concerns that may be a worry to you.

Furthermore, a GHCMC therapist supports their clients by providing an environment of safety, support, trust and confidentiality to express their emotional challenges without prejudice or judgement. GHCMC maintain this priniciple by respectfully keeping their clients needs in mind and honouring their individuality as an independent self-empowered person willing to embrace life, while going through the counselling and therapeutic processes.

General & Health Counselling, Mediation & Consultancy remains consciously aware that there are as many different models of therapy to choose from as there are many different types of people seeking solutions to various kinds of problems. Such problems can exist like relationships with others, with our peers, with our families, with our environment and within yourself.
