Depression Counselling: Talking to someone is the best first step. There is a good chance that talking to almost anyone about depression will reveal an understanding response, often with a shared story of another experience of depression. Almost all of us have connections with some form of depression or love someone who has struggled with depression. When we begin talking about depression, we learn that we are not alone and that help is out there.
Life Transition Counselling is to help people work through major life adjustments such as a big geographical move, a loss of a job, a break up of a relationship, or for example, the transition into parenthood.
Trauma Counselling: Counselling for trauma helps people work through their thoughts, the story, their nervous system, energy, motivation, and ability to be present in your life now.
Asperger’s Counselling is to help you gain a better understanding of your Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis and how it may impact various areas of your life.
Weight Loss Counselling is helpful to people who are on the road to loosing weight. A new study by the Journal of the American Medical Association finds that people who have lost weight are more likely to keep it off if they chat periodically with a counsellor rather than turning to a website that provides advice or getting no support at all.
Grief Counselling is a form of psychotherapy that aims to help people cope with grief and mourning following the death of loved ones, or with major life changes that trigger feelings of grief (e.g., divorce, or job loss).
Career counselling is similar in nature to traditional counseling, however, the focus is generally on issues such as career exploration, career change, personal career development and other career related issues.
Career counselling is the process of helping individuals select a path and make a plan to help them to get into the job they want. A career counsellor helps individuals get into a career that is suited to their aptitude, personality, interest and skills.
