EMOTIONAL DIFFICULTIES

We established our practice with one single aim: To provide a professional and specialised service that will help people overcome psychological and emotional difficulties. We are confident that we can help with the difficulties listed below.

Anxiety Disorders.
Fortunately, anxiety disorders are probably the most easily treatable psychological disorders. The outcomes are generally positive and people can learn to lead a fulfilling and functioning life relatively quickly.

Depression.
Overcoming depression is hard work, but very rewarding. Your psychologist will explore the causes of depression, the presenting symptoms and how it impacts on your life. We will also teach ways to treat negative thoughts differently, to look at life differently and will help to regain a realistic look on the future. This requires a collaborative effort and commitment. A committed approach to overcome depression combined with guidance from one of our experienced clinicians usually quickly produces positive results.

Stress Management.
Our stress management program is designed around the notion of "balance". Our program is based on the three "I"s: Investigate, Invent and Implement. We are normally able to deliver our program in 8 sessions with successful results.

Self-Esteem Improvement.
Developing self-esteem is a process that involves increasing your awareness of your internal dialogue and changing your relationship with it. This takes time and effort and there are no shortcuts. We will guide you through this process.

Decision Making.
Whether it is the primary concern or a topic that emerges during counselling, we frequently help people become better decision makers. Dealing with alternatives and working towards a final decision through counselling is a creative process and our clients always leave at the end of the session with increased knowledge and closer to a final choice.

Psychological Assessments and Reports
We are trained and experienced in psychological assessments. Psychological assessment or testing refers to a structured way of finding out about an individual's or family's functioning.
