Individual counselling is a one-on-one counseling between a client and a counselor which focuses on the individuals immediate or near future concerns in a safe, caring and confidential environment. It involves a client to talk about their feelings, thoughts and behaviors and things that are troubling them. The goal of counseling is to make clients reflect on their inner self, know who they are, what their goal in life is and creates a clear vision of their own self.

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Harassment
• Grief
• Bereavement
• Trauma
• Low-self esteem
• Guilt
• Interpersonal problems
• Stress
• Problems in living

Couples therapy helps improve the communication between couples. It assists with getting each other to see the other one’s perspective. It also provides tools to work through current challenges as well as potential future difficulties that seem to pose a threat to the relationship. The purpose of relationship counseling is to restore a relationship distressed by a wide array of issues to a better level of functioning.

Here are some of the reasons why you should seek out couple’s therapy:

• Improve understanding and communication
• Problem solving
• Restore emotional and physical connection
• Managing expectations
• Deal with disappointments
• Identification of life goals

Trauma is an emotional state or the reaction of the individual/group to a hazardous event, and not the event itself. Mitchel (1983) further defines trauma as: “any situation faced by persons/helpers that cause them to experience usually strong emotional reactions which have the potential to interfere with their ability to function either at the scene or later”.

I offer support in the following traumatic events:

• Violence (sexual assault/rape, motor car hijackings, armed robbery)
• Loss and bereavement
• Grief
• Motor vehicle accidents
• Illness

Distance counseling going by many names such as tele-counseling, electronic counseling or Online Distance Counseling is a convenient, safe and affordable way of making counseling services available to all on ongoing basis at the comfort of your own home. It is also immediate, the client does not have to travel, there is no geographical limit and the counselor can reach clients all over the country.

Online counseling is equally effective to same room therapies and is equally concerned with the normal development of individuals, helps clients to cope with everyday problems, such as work, grief, stress, life transitions and any other emotional difficulties a client experience. Same as “same room/ face-face” counseling, the goal is to empower the client by finding areas he can control and successfully manage.
