Live Life 2 The Max!

When considering counselling, what are the issues you would like to resolve?  Perhaps you experience stress, a low mood or relationship angst, or maybe you are juggling a myriad of other things that are related to home, family, finances or work challenges.

By talking through your issues, you may be able to let go of harmful emotions to reach a more peaceful state of mind and body. Why are emotions harmful? Emotions/feelings can be overwhelming and the impact can cause increased stress and tension which can result in illness.

Counselling strategies are tailored to your individual situation. Perhaps you’d like to learn how to stabilise your feelings and emotions, or behave differently in order to break old and outdated patterns?

Coaching is the process of partnering with you to unlock and develop personal and professional strengths and capabilities. Coaching questions get you thinking about options and opportunities for personal growth and change. The process is easy, and you are being asked for your ideas, rather than being told. There are many worksheets and strategies you can make use of to identify your values and chart your action steps.

Coaching can be used as both a therapeutic and non-therapeutic tool and is particularly good for improving communication with teams and team leaders. Coaching can be applied to areas of conflict within home, work or sporting teams. Career coaching is beneficial for those of you desiring a career change or aspiring to a management role.

Psychologists use both counselling and coaching processes to support you in many areas of your life, from home, to work and sport. Psychologists have assessment tools for anxiety, depression or trauma and when you complete them, it gives a better understanding of your thoughts, feelings, emotions and behaviours. The assessment then forms the basis of working out a therapeutic plan with you that is best suited to your needs.

There are multiple coping and thinking tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Positive Psychology and Spiritual Psychology. You may also like to work with psychotherapy and art processes as a creative outlet for emotional problems and their release.
