Counselling

A therapeutic modality that provides a client with a confidential, safe and supportive environment where they can tell their story, work through their emotions, and make positive changes to their life. 

• The role of the counsellor is facilitate the client’s self-development by providing the client with an opportunity to gain a better understanding of who they are, where they want to be, and how to get there. 

• The counsellor supports the client to achieve their goals and gain greater insight into their lives.

• Furthermore, effective counsellors assist clients to build skills that they can use to solve other difficulties in their lives.

• Different types of counselling styles can include - Humanistic/Client-Centered, Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy, Gestalt, Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Mindfulness.

Clinical Hypnotherapy

A solution focused therapy that allows the client to focus on what they want to achieve, rather than focus on the issue.

• Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation, intense concentration, and focused attention to achieve a heightened state of awareness that is sometimes called a trance.  

• This trance-like state is similar to being completely absorbed in a book, movie, music, or even one's own thoughts or meditations.

•  In this state, clients can turn their attention completely inward to find and utilize the natural resources deep within themselves that can help them make changes or regain control in certain areas of their life.

• Hypnotherapy can be used to treat issues such as anxiety, depression, phobias, substance abuse including tobacco and alcohol, sexual dysfunction, undesirable spontaneous behaviors, and bad habits. It can also be used to help improve sleep, learning disorders, communication, and relationship issues and more...

• Utilising self-help tools for your continued use, hypnotherapy speaks directly to the subconscious mind to help you achieve your life goals and leave those old habits or issues in the past.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)/Thought Field Therapy (TFT)

Treatments for the reduction of distress, anxiety and trauma, although EFT is perhaps a little better known and used more widely. 

• Both TFT and EFT is administered through specialized "tapping" with the fingers at meridian points on the upper body and hands.

• These modalities apply the ancient Chinese philosophy of chi, which is thought to be the 'life force' that flows throughout the body". 

• TFT was the original technique, developed by Roger Callahan Ph.D in 1981. EFT was developed in the 1990s by one of his students, Gary Craig, to simplify the process.

• Gary also brought his training in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to the table, introducing “healing scripts” that could be incorporated while tapping on the points.

Art Therapy

Involves the use of creative techniques such as visual art-making, sculpting, drama, dance, voice and movement to help people express themselves artistically and examine the psychological and emotional undertones in their art. 

• Art therapy can be helpful for people who cannot verbalise their feelings due to developmental, cognitive or other conditions. With the guidance of a competent art therapist, clients can "decode" the nonverbal messages, symbols, and metaphors often found in these art forms, which should lead to a better understanding of their feelings and behavior so they can move on to resolve deeper issues.

• No artistic talent is necessary for art therapy to succeed, because the therapeutic process is not about the artistic value of the work, but rather about finding associations between the creative choices made and a client's inner life. The artwork can be used as a springboard for reawakening memories and telling stories that may reveal messages and beliefs from the unconscious mind.

• Art therapy is founded on the belief that self-expression through artistic creation has therapeutic value for those who are healing or seeking deeper understanding of themselves and their personalities.

What is Coaching?

• Coaching focuses on facilitating a client’s learning and growth and improving performance in a desired area(s) of life.

• Coaching can assist to motivate us to achieve our personal best in areas such as family, relationships, studies, career, finances, health, and more…

• A Coach helps their clients, or ‘Coachees’, to understand their individual circumstances and goals, and then provides them with the tools and support they need to develop and implement strategies to achieve their goals.

• Coaches help Coachees to maximise their personal and/or professional potential in order to succeed in whatever they choose to do.

• Coaches provide an ongoing partnership designed to help clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives.

• Coaches are trained to listen, to observe and to customise their approach to individual client needs.

• There are many areas of Coaching, including: Life Coaching, Empowerment Coaching, Abundance Coaching, Health Coaching, Career Coaching, Relationship Coaching, Image Coaching, Spiritual Coaching and more...

What is Holistic Coaching?

• Holisitc Coaching addresses the mind, body and spirit as a whole and enables individuals to gain greater self-awareness and appreciation for renewed balance, health and vitality. Holistic Coaching provides the tools required to harmonise and create a more balanced, fulfilled life.

What does a Holistic Coach Do?

• A holistic coach works with individuals who wish to achieve more flow and balance in their life. By exploring, and accepting, each individual’s unique attributes, experiences, creative thinking and personal requirements a holistic coach/therapist is able to guide, motivate and inspire positive life changes. 

• Unlike more traditional approaches to coaching, holistic coaching allows for deeper exploration and understanding of the inner interferences that create emotional blocks and hurdles. 

• In order to overcome long-standing emotional issues healing is sometimes incorporated into the holistic coaching process.

What to Expect from Holistic Coaching

• As everyone is unique, as too is the issues that may be most relevant, the holistic approach to coaching offers a person-centred experience that encourages positive changes. 

• Many techniques and tools can be used within the holistic coaching process, and these may include Hypnotherapy, EFT, Empowerment, Stress Management and Relaxation/Meditation exercises. 

• Most clients will require between 4 to 6 sessions and may also benefit from additional support at other times, as issues are identified and explored. Commitment to the holistic coaching process is therefore important.

Who Benefits from Holistic Coaching?

• Adults who have experienced 'negative' life experiences will most benefit from the holistic approach to coaching and improving life. 

• Women who are seeking to be self-empowered in all areas of their lives.

Working with a Holistic Coach

• A holistic coach is trained to be able to provide support with professional development, personal life issues, social, educational and/or emotional problems and other concerns that require improvement and clarity.

• By focusing on the entire individual, however, work/life balance can be addressed, and restrictive behaviour patterns and habits can be rectified and improved. 

• Fresh and inspired motivation for life will also be created, and a healthier attitude to living will become the result individuals aim for

What Holistic Coaching is Not

• Holistic coaching is not therapy. Whilst the holistic coaching process can help individuals transform their lives, reach their goals, and generally inspire positive thought and direction, this form of coaching does not focus on working through long-standing issues and problems.
