Benefits of Counselling
Why Counselling?
Counselling provides a space to explore what you need to be able to expand, let go of the past, find direction, and explore your process without having to worry about anyone else.
A counsellor can provide a compassionate and non-judgmental presence that enables you to develop trust in yourself and your experience. Counselling provides a very unique relationship that supports you in your process towards expanding the possibilities of who you are, and how you choose to live your life. There are times that the challenges in our lives may lead to isolation, anxiety, depression, and other health problems. Through counselling, you can explore your alternatives, build on your strengths, and develop new insight and skills.
The foundation of S.O. Creative Counselling is solution oriented and combines attention to the eclectic integration of family systems, cognitive-behavioural, gestalt and psychodynamic approaches, using the best aspects of each in a unified therapy. Employed are a hybrid of two or more of the humanistic and psychodynamic approaches: mindfulness based/cognitive-behavioural, existential/transpersonal, strategic/narrative, and emotion focused/solution-oriented approaches, which are explained as follows: The examination of the influence of your past experiences as well as your current psychological, social, familial, cultural status and how they may affect your presenting problem/s, ways of thinking, feeling and behaviour. A thorough exploration of ways to resolve your situation will be taken. While these models guide the work, alternate approaches may at times be more effective or appropriate.
