Individual Counselling
Counselling is a safe and confidential* space that focuses on developing and improving your capacity to cope with specific life challenges such as relationship endings, grief, bereavement, and anxiety. Furthermore, counselling praises itself on its empathic nature of working to reduce distress, resolve a crisis, develop goals for change, and enhance your well being. Counselling helps with problem-solving and creating inner resources to move forward with life in meaningful ways.
*Confidentiality is limited when there are safety concerns regarding the client or others.
Psychotherapy
​Psychotherapy and counselling tend to overlap but there are also differences. Psychotherapy is a confidential* and non-judgmental space that focuses on a greater extent on pursuing the change in the personality or self through a deeper level of consideration. With this kind of deep contemplation accompanies longer duration of therapy as working therapeutically with the conscious and unconscious can change the needs of the client that are dependent on the circumstances and contexts of what's being explored and discussed. Psychotherapy assists individuals achieve a better understanding of self and change enduring patterns of behaviour that may be causing disruptions in relationships, work, study and other areas of life.
*Confidentiality is limited when there are safety concerns regarding the client or others.
Addiction Counselling
To help people address their substance use and the impact it may be having on their lives. Alcohol and other drug use can adversely affect relationships, health, work, mental state and other areas of functioning. Addiction counselling aims to help people with addictions to focus on underlying issues that have previously contributed to continued drug use and subsequent relapse. Issues underpinning or accompanying drug use might include trauma, depression, grief and loss, behavioural problems or anxiety.
Using a range of tools for discussion, I adopt an integrated person-centred and collaborative approach, ensuring that you determine your own treatment goals and are actively involved in developing your own recovery plan.
