INDIVIDUAL
 Clients who may be experiencing personal, family or work
problems can greatly benefit from Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Many referrals are made to Hypnotherapists from Doctors and
Psychologists.
Counselling allows the client to openly discuss his or her feelings,
fears and concerns with someone who is trained to understand and
guide the client to a better place.
By asking appropriate questions about the problem, situation or
behaviour, the Counsellor can assist the client to
understand the reason behind them and assist to guide the client in
using another behaviour, thought or response to
the problem enabling a solution that is suitable.
Often only a few sessions are all that is required to obtain direction
and guidance.
Clients with depression, anxiety, confusion - can all be assisted with Counselling.
If you suffered abuse or neglect of any kind as a child, or as an adult, then Counselling can assist you in dealing with these issues. Many abuse issues are difficult to discuss with partners or friends,they leave scars in the personal emotions of the victim and these people then find it difficult at times to deal with life issues that arise. Sometimes the vistims, who think they have left it behind, have problems with relationships and communications, these issues can be dealt with without the need to ever re-live the issue.
RELATIONSHIP COUNSELLING
Relationship
issues can greatly benefit from Counselling. Often there is a
problem with the couple communicating. Regularly one party does not listen or understand their
partner, resulting in relationship issues. By using
a Counsellor these issues can be openly discussed, areas of direction
established and behaviours put in
place to allay further problems.
Many couples have difficulty at times communicating. One partner may have acted in a way that unintentially hurt the other person, leaving anger for one and guilt for the other. This can often lead to a sut down in communication. Counselling assists to open up the communication again and assists both parties to understand and perhaps accept the actions of the other.
Couples sometimes need to mediate matters, to come to terms with certain events or behaviours, Counselling assists this before they become too serious.
Couples planning to marry or planning to have children find Counselling very benefical to their relationship.
PARENTING
Couples with young children often need parenting assistance. They become confused on how to manage their child's behaviour, what is acceptable, what is not. How to get their chld to listen and respond to them.
Parenting is a difficult job but when done right it is enjoyable, rewarding, satisfying and when parents are confident, loving, firm and fair, their children grow into balanced and happy young people.
The thing young parents need to remember is that all children role model your behaviour. If you child is screaming, defiant or blames; is loving, empathic and kind, they have learnt it from you, their parents. At times parents need a little help in redirecting their behaviours to set the example they want their child to follow.
CHILDREN
Children can benefit from Counselling too. If they have experienced loss, abuse, bullying or conflict, they need to be heard by someone who is going to tell them their feelings are OK.
Young children can suffer depression and depressive thoughts. If they feel they are powerless in a situation, there is no relief, no-one to talk with or to listen to them without judgement, Counselling can assist them immensley. Sometimes they don't want mum or dad to fix it or them, they want to be heard, to vent, to be understood.
Counselling assists children from primary school age through to high school and into adult hood, many of whom carry their childhood problems with them until they are able to be released.
Unfortunately suicide is often invisable, a silent killer. Counselling can assist the individual to reframe their thoughts and see a resolution to their situation or problem, so suicide is no longer an option.
If you feel your child is in a dark place please consider the assistance of a qualified Counsellor.
