Individual Counselling

Counselling is direct, active and personal. I will provide you with non-judgemental support that helps you feel at ease while helping you through lifes difficulties. This means that you are able to talk about your feelings, emotions, thoughts and behaviours that could be troubling to you.

In the counselling sessions we focus on increasing your awareness and understanding of yourself. It can help you identify the most effective ways for you to personally achieve your desired goals for where you are in life right and more importantly provide you the tools to cope with difficult situations that come along the way.

Including Family

Including family can be beneficial for the counselling process. An individual can benefit from having the support of a strong functioning family. Relationships in the family can be the source of strength and motivation for the person seeking counselling. The family members can provide the attitudes, motivations and behaviours necessary to successfully resolve the difficulties someone is experiencing.

Group Counselling

If you feel you would like to talk to other people experiencing difficulties than group counselling might be something for you. You can read more information in the groups page.

Relationship Counselling

Relationship counselling focuses on improving the relationship between people. It aims to increase your awareness and understanding of yourself and the influence your actions might have on the other person. The interaction between each other during the counselling sessions is the medium which instils change.

Some topics that might come up during the sessions are; communication, expectations, goals, values, feelings.

Social Skill Development

Social skills are an important part of our functioning in the social world. For some of us however these skills don't come naturally. The social skills development focuses on teaching the skills that are important at this time in life. Teaching social skills can be done through role-play, video modeling, social stories, art activities and more.

The social skill development can one-on-one, in a group format or supporting the parents/carers in teaching their child the social skills at home.
