Do you feel stressed and sometimes overwhelmed with life? Do you sometimes struggle with decisions? Would you like greater peace of mind?    Holistic Counselling can assist you with these issues and many more!    Holistic counselling is a method of counselling that provides the client with support to work through any issue that comes up in life that is challenging to handle at the time.    Holistic Counselling sees human difficulties as opportunities for growth and development. It takes into account the body, mind and spirit. Each client is unique and has the wisdom and freedom to choose their own direction, which is encouraged in the session.    A healing approach is taken encompassing working with the “whole” individual in context of their “whole” environment. Wholeness takes into consideration the human as a willing-feeling-thinking being, a reflection of our body, soul & mind/spirit.    When should I seek counselling? Counselling is valuable at any time in your life and for any reason – it is never too late or too soon to start. You can come to counselling for: career guidance relationship issues families matters parenting issues anxiety grief, stress well being trauma personal issues anger management depression.    Holistic counselling provides understanding and support in a private caring environment that is totally confidential (the therapist signs a confidentiality agreement and is bound by the code of conduct from the Australian Counselling Association).    The session primarily entails sitting in the therapy room talking. There may also be other activities that are integrated (as needed), for example creative drawing, visualisation, story writing, meditation, breathing or movement. This is entirely dependent on your own processes and what you are working with.    The approach used is primarily one of process orientated psychology. That means looking at what is the primary (or obvious) process and then uncovering the secondary or underlying processes. By bringing them to the fore we gain greater awareness of who we are and what is right for our lives.    Holistic Counselling Sessions Each session is 1 hour and will be extended if needed. The number of sessions needed varies with the individual and with what they bring. On average it is advisable to have a few sessions to start with.    The cost of a session is $ 70 – discounts for pensioners and students are available. If the session goes for longer than an hour then the rate will be discussed.    Sessions are generally one on one (as the focus is on the individual) and then if relevant, sessions for groups or families or couples will be done.
