Counselling, Coaching/Mentoring, Group Facilitation and Mediation
The counselling/mentoring process facilitates self-awareness, self-acceptance and learning new ways of being in the world. I provide my clients - children, adolescents, adults, couples and families - with a confidential and supportive service
Issues I work with include:
loss and grief
stress, anxiety and depression
relationship difficulties, family dynamics
trust, intimacy, sexuality
self esteem and confidence
work related issues
parenting difficulties, behavioral problems
life transitions
anger and violence
communication and conflict resolution.
How I work: Experiential Learning and group-work: Experiential Action methods (including group work, role play and psychodrama) are holistic, effective and enlivening and can be used with individuals and groups. In experiential learning the experience of life is enacted, because 'action speaks louder than words'. It can be used as both a rehearsal and a preparation for living the kind of life you want to live. Experiential Learning offers possibilities for change and human evolution, for individuals, groups and society.
Mentoring/Coaching: I provide individual and group mentoring to people in organisations and businesses. I have establised and run several businesses in my earlier working life and have founded and worked in several community organisations.
Funding for counselling: Funding may be accessed, if eligibility criteria is met, through a variety of means, including: WINZ, doctor's referral, and some Community based social service agencies.
Supervision
I am a qualified supervisor and have enjoyed providing this service to other counsellors, trainee counsellors, teachers and social workers since 1998.
Group Workshops: I facilitate group/team sessions and weekend retreats based on my training in Groupwork and Experiential Learning methods.
