Individually, how might I benefit from Counselling?

From time to time, life throws us challenges that seem insurmountable. Alternatively, the ‘final straw’ might seem small, but follows an accumulation of other stressors, which all add up.

Counselling plays a crucial role in enhancing mental health and overall well-being by providing a supportive environment for adults to explore their thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

Through various therapeutic techniques, clients will identify and reframe negative thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress. This alleviates symptoms of mental health distress such as anxiety and depression and fosters personal growth by promoting self-awareness and resilience.

My sessions provide Adults with the following range of benefits:

  • You will be heard as you share your thoughts and concerns in a warm, safe environment with a non-judgemental and caring professional
  • You can move through your sessions at a pace that suits you and your circumstances
  • You will be encouraged to explore relevant issues to gain insights that help you move forward
  • You will gain knowledge about how your brain responds to feeling unsafe, distressed or threatened
  • You will understand how to change destructive thought patterns, using skills learned in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), thereby reducing emotional distress
  • If relevant, you will explore past responses to conflict/stress and the impact on you
  • You will understand new constructive choices to manage challenging and/or high conflict situations and people.
  • You will be equipped with essential coping strategies and skills to manage life’s challenges
  • Ultimately, you will feel comfortable communicating clearly and being able to listen in a manner that enhances relationships
  • You will feel empowered to lead a more fulfilling life

While REAL RESOLUTIONS does not provide Couple Counselling, per se, couples are welcome to attend to enhance their relationship through:

  • Exploring the patterns that drive a breakdown in communication and/or trigger arguments or fights
  • Understanding what each other needs, in relation to conflict reduction
  • Developing a range of conflict management skills equipping you to resolve disputes in a timely and healthy manner
  • Learning more effective ways to communicate
  • Ensuring each are being heard in the way the message was intended

Your relationship will be enriched with this level of understanding and capacity to talk through challenging issues
