These are demanding times we live in. More and more is being asked of us as we go about our daily lives. Sometimes life’s challenges can feel overwhelming and insurmountable. We may not know what needs changing, nor how to go about it. Sometimes we simply feel afraid of change. At these times counselling and psychotherapy can help.

Counselling and psychotherapy can help people develop greater self awareness and lead to personal discovery resulting in renewal and positive change. Changes may consist of:

• Creating a balanced lifetstyle

• Building better relationships

• Goal achievement

• Recovering a belief in yourself and a passion for life

• Developing a lifestyle that reflects your deepest values

• Resolve ties that bind you to the past

Counselling and psychotherapy can also help if you are struggling with a mental health issue that is keeping you ‘stuck’ and gets in the way of you reaching your full human potential. These might include:

• Stress

• Depression

• Anxiety

• Panic, phobias, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorders

• Addictions

• Managing strong emotions such as anger, sadness, and fear

• Grief and loss

• Sexuality issues

• Adult and childhood sexual abuse

• Eating disorders

• Self harm

• Suicidality

• Behaviour problems

The outcomes of therapy may include better problem-solving and coping strategies, the transformation of limiting beliefs and restricting behaviours, and the development of the capacity to relax, restore inner peace and balance. Day to day functionality is restored and personal relationships are improved.
