COUNSELING SERVICES
- Long term therapy can be costly. Therefore I aim to offer short term counseling to assist the client in the following ways:
- Firstly to be able to identify and address the problem at hand, thereafter to find the coping skills necessary in order to overcome the situation.
- Empowerment is achieved by gaining insight through self exploration.
- Becoming aware and focusing on one’s strengths rather than one’s weaknesses.
- Capitalizing on these strengths in order to realize one’s full potential.
- In times of crisis people tend to forget how much they have already overcome in their lives and their ability to survive.
- Given the support they need, people can continue to overcome their challenges

COUNSELING STRENGTHS INCLUDE
Life transitions are inevitable and often challenging, but they also bring opportunities for growth and self-discovery. Whether it’s starting a new job, moving to a different city, or entering a new phase of life, embracing these transitions can lead to personal transformation and a deeper understanding of oneself.
Relationship issues can cause immense stress and emotional turmoil. Whether it’s communication problems, trust issues, or compatibility concerns, addressing these challenges with compassion and open dialogue is crucial. Seeking professional help or couples therapy can provide valuable guidance in resolving conflicts and strengthening relationships.
Career guidance is essential in navigating the professional world. It helps individuals identify their strengths, interests, and goals, leading to informed career choices. Seeking guidance from mentors, career counselors, or using online resources can provide valuable insights and support in achieving career success.
Coping skills are essential tools for managing stress and maintaining emotional well-being. These skills can include deep breathing exercises, mindfulness practices, engaging in hobbies, seeking support from loved ones, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Developing effective coping skills can lead to improved resilience and overall life satisfaction.
Developmental stages in life refer to the milestones and changes individuals go through as they grow and mature. From infancy to old age, these stages encompass physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development. Understanding and navigating these stages can help individuals navigate life transitions and achieve personal growth.
Self-esteem refers to the overall opinion one has about themselves. It plays a crucial role in mental health and well-being. Developing self-esteem involves embracing strengths, setting realistic goals, cultivating self-compassion, and surrounding oneself with positive influences to foster a healthy sense of self-worth and confidence.
Stress is a natural response to demands or pressures, but prolonged or excessive stress can negatively impact mental and physical health. Effective stress management involves practicing self-care, setting boundaries, engaging in relaxation techniques, and seeking support to promote overall well-being and resilience.
Trauma counseling is a specialized form of therapy that helps individuals heal from traumatic experiences. It provides a safe and supportive environment for clients to process their emotions, develop coping strategies, and rebuild their lives. Trauma counselors utilize evidence-based techniques to promote healing and resilience in their clients.
