Counseling
Psychological areas we specialise in are listed below.
Anxiety
Anxiety is what we feel when we are worried, tense or afraid – particularly about things that are about to happen, or which we think could happen in the future. Anxiety is a natural human response when we feel that we are under threat. It can be experienced through our thoughts, feelings and physical sensations.
Depression
Depression, also known as major depressive disorder, is a mood disorder that makes you feel constant sadness or lack of interest in life. Most people feel sad or depressed at times. It’s a normal reaction to loss or life's challenges. But when intense sadness -- including feeling helpless, hopeless, and worthless -- lasts for many days to weeks and keeps you from living your life, it may be something more than sadness.
Sexual abuse
Sexual abuse is unwanted sexual activity, with perpetrators using force, making threats or taking advantage of victims not able to give consent. Most victims and perpetrators know each other. Immediate reactions to sexual abuse include shock, fear or disbelief. Long-term symptoms include anxiety, fear or post-traumatic stress disorder.
Stress
Stress is our body’s response to pressure. Many different situations or life events can cause stress. It is often triggered when we experience something new, unexpected or that threatens our sense of self, or when we feel we have little control over a situation.
We all deal with stress differently. Our ability to cope can depend on our genetics, early life events, personality and social and economic circumstances.
Addiction
Addiction is defined as not having control over doing, taking or using something to the point where it could be harmful to you. There are lots of reasons why addictions begin. In the case of drugs, alcohol and nicotine, these substances affect the way you feel, both physically and mentally. These feelings can be enjoyable and create a powerful urge to use the substances again.
Anger management
Anger Management. The goal of anger management is to reduce both your emotional feelings and the physiological arousal that anger causes. You can't get rid of, or avoid, the things or the people that enrage you, nor can you change them, but you can learn to control your reactions.
Violence/Conflict Resolutions
Violence, an act of physical force that causes or is intended to cause harm. The damage inflicted by violence may be physical, psychological, or both. Violence may be distinguished from aggressive, a more general type of hostile behaviour that may be physical, verbal, or passive in nature.
Conflicts in the workplace can arise when two or more parties have different objectives, opinions or styles. Conflict resolution is the art of addressing those differences and finding common ground that enables everyone to work together peacefully. Sometimes, the person who resolves a conflict may be a neutral party or mediator while at other times, they may be someone involved in the conflict who takes an outside perspective to find a solution.
Positive growth
Positivity is a state of mind we would all like to achieve, but it isn’t always easy. During a period of depression, or loss, having a positive mindset can feel impossible. Many of us are also skeptical about positivity. We ask ourselves if it’s even possible to look on the bright side when there's so much negativity in the world.
Families in Crisis
Family crisis can be defined as a state in which relationships are strained to the point that they may eventually break up the family unit. The glue that holds the family together is the key. As with anything else, if the adhesion (or ability to stick to something) is weak, then family crisis will likely have a greater negative effect. Strength of family bond has to do with the character of the members, the crisis they have already been through and survived, their belief in one another, and other factors.
Vocational counselling
Vocational counseling includes professional and personal counseling, that incorporates an additional focus on the theory and research of career development and the unique vocational needs of individuals with disabilities. The goal of vocational counseling is to assist and empower individuals with various disabilities (including neuropsychological) to achieve their career goals in the most integrated setting possible.
