HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED COUNSELLING?
You may wish: to gain clarity on an issue, to change old patterns, to untangle complex personal issues or for self-development as a result of a crisis, encouraged by family members, friends or colleagues.
-
HOW LONG IS A COUNSELLING PERIOD?
A typical counselling period would be about 5/6 sessions followed by a review. The number of sessions is very dependent on you as an individual and your unique issues.
-
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM A COUNSELLING SESSION?
Each Client and his/her situation are unique; there is no typical therapy session.
With an empathic, understanding, non-judgmental approach, I provide you with a safe and supportive environment to explore the problems you are experiencing.
-
HOW DO I START WITH COUNSELLING?
Please phone or email for an appointment.
The first consultation will give you the opportunity to ask questions and to find out how we can work together.
There is no obligation to continue beyond the first session.
-
WHY DO I NEED TO ATTEND WEEKLY SESSIONS?
Regularity is important for productive therapeutic work. It helps you make gradual and steady progress.
-
CAN I REFER SOMEONE FOR COUNSELLING?
Friends, family and colleagues may be very concerned about an individual’s well-being and would like to see him/her undergo Counselling. It is most helpful though, if the individual in question makes contact himself/herself. The acknowledgement that he/she needs assistance is a critical step.
-
DO I NEED COUNSELLING ALONG WITH A DIET?
There is a relationship between eating and the emotional sphere.
There are kinds of food that induce a feeling of well-being and tranquility, or conversely bad mood and tension.
At the same time feelings can influence the quality and quantity of what we eat.
“Emotional hunger” is the urge to eat, often without any real hunger, which is usually followed by feelings of guilt or anger, not to mention added kilos. Counselling can be started before/during/after a diet in order to:
• Identify those unfulfilled areas of your life, where you tend to compensate
with the pleasure of food
• Discover your hidden resources and find new strategies to increase your self-esteem,
as well as achieve and maintain weight loss
I nevertheless recommend that you establish a balanced diet and healthy eating habits, with the help of an expert nutritionist.
