INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING

 

Everyone experiences times in their lives where they feel that they are not managing things as well as they could be. There are also times when your difficulties, emotions or choices feel so overwhelming that they can be hard to cope with on your own. Counselling can be of great benefit during these times. Counselling can guide and support you through difficult decisions and emotions and provide you with skills and strategies that help you establish a deeper understanding of yourself and help you manage your life in a more balanced and effective manner.

 

Individual Counselling can help you to:

​

• Explore and increase your understanding of longstanding issues

• Change unhealthy patterns and behaviours

• Deal with grief, loss and trauma

• Overcome feelings of anxiety and fear

• Manage depression

• Manage chronic pain

• Deal with chronic illness and stressful life events

• Resolve stress and conflict at home and work.

​​

Individual counselling is not confined to helping you address difficulties in your life. It can also provide opportunities for personal growth by helping you to:

​

• Increase self esteem and confidence

• Enhance personal relationships

• Bring out your creativity and self-expression

• Learn to assert your own needs

• Renew a sense of purpose in your life
