MY SPECIALTIES
ADDICTION & SUBSTANCE ABUSE
Together we will help reduce the harm associated with the use of drugs, alcohol and gambling to individuals and the community. We also provide support to the families and carers affected by the impact of addictions. We will provide information, advice and referral to appropriate rehabilitation services.
​
We can do this through one-on-one counselling or via group work sessions. We ensure you get started on the slow and steady recovery process.
DOMESTIC ABUSE
DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, STRESS
Stress is a normal biological response to internal or external occurrences. However, if not handled correctly, it can be a destructive force. Stress can actually reduce your ability to maintain positive habits and can lead to depression.
​
Depression can compromise your ability to deal with life's problems, and make things appear to be much worse than they actually are. If not managed, depression can lead to disassociation from your loved ones and even further, to self harm.
Contact us and get the help for yourself or your loved one. Remember, if something seems amiss, ask your loved ones if they are doing OK - and listen to their answer!
It is never okay that a loved one or intimate partner inflicts physical, sexual, psychological or economic harm onto your person.
​
We will make sure you have the information to keep yourself safe, address any anguish that you may have about your situation, put you in touch with the right support agencies and most importantly, help you re-gain the confidence to believe in yourself again.
AGGRESSION MANAGEMENT
FAMILY RELATIONSHIP THERAPY
The issues that confront a family vary greatly depending on the phase the family is currently at. If you aren't ready to adjust or haven't identified the start of a new phase, you can cause yourself and your loved ones unnecessary stress.
​
Addressing the issues early with impartial guidance can prevent any issues from eventuating or before they grow to be unwieldy.
Anger is a normal human emotion and it can be expressed in a perfectly healthy way. It is how we respond to, and, express our anger that can cause us problems.
​
It is often difficult to isolate the underlying feelings that may cause you to behave in a way that upsets you or your loved ones. I will work with you to identify and address these contributing factors.
RELATIONSHIP COUNSELLING
Whether you have been dating for 2 months or married for 30 years, Relationships take work and constant communication. If you need help getting to the source of a problem, we can work together to zero in on what you may not be able to readily vocalise.
INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING
No matter what you are feeling, it always helps to talk it out with a friendly unprejudiced ear.
GROUP WORK
We can address any of the issues discussed above in a group forum. The group can consist of people with like problems, or loved ones, feeling the impacts of a particular issue.
​
Group work focuses on reaching the end-goal by exploring what each individual can bring to the group and what the individuals want to change about their personal lives and relationships with others.
IN-PRACTICE SESSION
In our comfortable offices, we can discuss your concerns with an attentive ear, and complete privacy.
​
We can also accommodate groups up to 20 people in our meeting rooms (or yours).
Let us know if you have a special request, We are sure to accommodate.
HOME VISITS
For those who have difficulty accessing transport or travelling, we can come to your home (some travel costs apply) or even conduct our sessions via video conferencing (whichever software you like).
