Practice
Information
In
my work as a Counsellor I have
successfully helped individuals who present with the following
challenges:
- Marriage
or Relationship issues
- Low
self-esteem
- Sleep
Problems
- Depressed
Mood
- Chronic
Pain
- Anxiety
disorders
- Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder
- Life
Transitions, i.e. change of work, end of relationship,
etc.
- Sexual/physical/emotional
abuse
The clients
that I see find that counselling can improve their present
situation, and help them deal with future challenges. Changes
frequently include:
- Improved
capacity to relax
- Improved
mood
- Increased
ability to deal with stressors
- Improved
self-confidence
- Clearer
interpersonal boundaries
- Increase
goal orientation/focus
- More
positive outlook
- Healing
of past trauma
- Improvements
in relationship with self and others
Changes
appear when clients understand that they have access to a
wider range of healthy ways within which they can conduct
their lives. Support, validation, insight, and problem solving
help clients move through problems and towards solutions.
The length
of treatment varies according to the nature of the referring
problem, and the complexity of the issues involved. The therapeutic
contract is established within the first couple of sessions.
After this time, counselling focuses on those targeted issues.
Sessions are ended when the goals of the contract are met.
In some cases clients may choose to re-contract regarding
other issues. Counselling is always available on a follow-up
basis.
