GROUP COUNSELLING
Many of us struggle solo with the challenges of life, work, relationships,
and family. These challenges may take the form of anxiety or depression,
stress, addiction, eating disorders, or loneliness and isolation.
Group counselling provides a rich, safe, nourishing way to address
these challenges and make significant progress toward resolution
and positive change.
Groups of people with similar issues, will find comfort, a deep
sense of connection, and an atmosphere that supports exploration
and discovery of new approaches to familiar life problems. Group
members are often surprised to find that others have similar feelings
and reactions. Other group members often inspire us to take reasonable
risks, or to respond in new and creative ways.
FAMILY
AND COUPLE COUNSELLING
The purpose of family and couple counselling is to bring about behavioral
change and to correct discord within the family unit. Within the
family, the behaviours of one member affect the behaviours of all
other members. A variety of issues and concerns can be covered in
family and couple counselling. When an individual, couple or family
comes to counselling they can gain a greater understanding of the
issues and find out how they can help.
Some goals are:
-
To improve communication and problem-solving skills
-
Assist clients to understand both themselves and each other
-
Encourage clients to recognized that their behaviours affects
those around them
-
Define, understand, and negotiate current expectations and goals
in the relationship
The goal of counselling is to help the client identify, clarify,
and become proactive regarding the issues they are facing. Counselling
helps the client focus on solution-oriented possibilities and empowers
them to recognize the choices and resources they have.
PARENT & TEEN MEDIATION SERVICE
Being a teenager can be an exciting time of life. However, the physical
and emotional changes that occur during adolescence can also be
very confusing. Teenagers may have difficulty talking to their parents
and discussions can develop into arguments that are confrontational
and stop communication altogether. Mediation involves a neutral
person, skilled in working with young people and parents, assisting
the family to reach agreement. It allows clear communication, improved
relationships and mutually acceptable solutions to issues.
CRISIS MANAGEMENT
There are occasions when help is required on short notice. Crisis
response service is available to families or individuals within
24 hours of referral and offers a ‘first response’ in
crisis situations.
Short-term strategies are developed to manage the current crisis
situation and support is provided to help stabilize those involved.
Subsequent counselling or referral to an appropriate follow up service
can be provided.
INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING
Counselling will provide you with strategies to reduce stress and
improve emotional health and well-being. Learn to identify, understand
and overcome personal or family problems.
The main purpose of individual counselling is to gain control of
your life. Having an objective, compassionate professional counsellor
collaborate with you to obtain your goals can be the key to gaining
the life changes and control you desire. The journey to improved
well-being may be accomplished using a variety of therapeutic techniques.
Counselling will help the client understand why they do what they
do, both positive and negative. Understanding is the first step
to making desired changes, heightening self esteem, and enhancing
well being. Counselling can reveal how past experiences affect current
difficulties
