Individual Counselling
One to one counselling provides you, the client, the safety, security and confidentiality to express and explore your feelings, thoughts, problems, concerns, fears and options in a safe space.
It allows me, the counsellor, to work closely with and to focus only on you.
The Types of issues that are addressed in Individual counselling include:
Identifying feelings and beliefs which support or undermine you.
Dealing with anxiety, stress, feelings of overwhelm and sadness.
Working though past or recent traumatic experiences.
Working through relationship challenges or navigating post relationship challenges.
Improving self-esteem and enabling self-forgiveness.
Identifying and establishing supportive skills and habits to achieve goals and/or change important aspects of your life.
Developing stress management and coping skills.
Couples, Relationship & Family Counselling
With couples and family counselling, I work with two or more people who are in a relationship with one another: a married couple, a couple who are in a long-term relationship or family members such a parent and teenager, or multiple members of a family.
This multi-person approach allows us to work with the beliefs, expectations, communication styles, behaviourial and interpersonal dynamics that impact the relationship. The counselling space becomes a safe place in which to explore these facets, give each person a voice and co-create relationship patterns that are more beneficial to each individual and the couple and/or family unit.
The Types of issues that are addressed in Couples, Relationship and Family Counselling include:
Unrealistic expectations of one another.
Destructive conflict patterns/ poor conflict resolution.
Destructive or ineffective communication patterns.
Problematic relationship dynamics.
Diversity in goals, parenting styles, spending habits etc that cause disruption in the relationship.
Recovery from infidelity.
Couples can be married, unmarried, heterosexual or LGBTQ+.
Trauma Counselling
Trauma counselling helps people process and heal from the lasting emotional and psychological effects of traumatic events.
I provide a safe and supportive environment to enable my clients to explore their experiences, understand their reactions, and develop healthy coping strategies. The goal is to help you regain a sense of control, reduce distress, and improve your overall well-being.
Trauma can result from ‘big’ events such as being the victim of a violent or distressing crime, experiencing a car accident or witnessing such an event. It can also result from ongoing abusive relationships, domestic violence or any event or chronic pattern that creates a lack of sense of safety and a fear of harm to yourself or someone else, especially a loved one.
Workshops, Talks and Training
I provide workshops, webinars, talks and training on mental health and well-being.
These can be customised for specific groups and audiences.
