Counselling and Psychotherapy
Counselling and Psychotherapy allow clients to explore personal and emotional difficulties in a structured environment. A Psychotherapist is trained to listen and assist the client in gaining a greater understanding of the process by which they can become trapped in their own issues.
A session provides a space to explore experiences and emotions and get in touch with feelings and issues of conflict, through which the client can become acquainted with inner resources for personal growth and healing.
Most people go through times in their lives that are painful and distressing, when they face difficulties and decisions. Sometimes memories of the past, painful issues in the present or anxiety about the future can make it difficult to cope with everyday life.
Counselling and Psychotherapy takes account of the cultural and socio-political context in which the client lives and how these factors affect the presenting problem. This includes an awareness and assessment of cultural influences such as age, development, disability, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, indigenous identity, nationality and gender.
Coaching is an interactive process that helps individuals and organisations to develop more rapidly and produce more satisfying results. Coaches work with clients in all areas including business, career, finances, health and relationships. As a result of coaching, clients set better goals, take more action, make better decisions, and more fully use their natural strengths. Professional coaches are trained to listen and observe, to customise their approach to the individual client's needs, and to elicit solutions and strategies from the client. They believe that the client is naturally creative and resourceful and that the coach's job is to provide support to enhance the skills, resources, and creativity that the client already has.
While the coach provides feedback and an objective perspective, the client is responsible for taking the steps to produce the results he or she desires. People hire a coach when they are starting a new business, making a career transition, revaluating their life choices, or simply feeling ready for a personal or professional breakthrough. |
