Our counsellors use a variety of modalities/techniques to assist
people in dealing with issues, such as relationships, identity,
anxiety, stress, depression, life transitions, traumatic events and
living with illness.
Counselling is client-centred, non-judgemental, compassionate and
respectful, always maintaining confidentiality. It is an approach
designed to nurture and support client growth, and to connect mind,
body and spirit.
A counsellor helps someone make sense of their experience and open
up possibilities for positive change by:
- Defining issues and gathering relevant facts
- Defining what is important
- Defining what to do next
- Encouraging expression of feelings and needs
- Tapping into a client's strengths and resources
- Examining unhelpful habits, coping methods, self-defeating
beliefs, values and attitudes
- Exploring alternative points of view
- Considering how their behaviour and emotional reactions affect
others and themselves
- Making decisions based on what is learned
