Counselling: Individual

​

Individual counselling is highly personal and unique. Women come to counselling for various reasons. Some experience distress due to specific life challenges or trauma, some experience behaviour and thought patterns that negatively impact their lives, and some have experienced loss. Sometimes, they may need support in adjusting to specific life changes, entering a new relationship, getting pregnant, adapting to the arrival of a baby, adjusting to health changes, dealing with a life-threatening illness, caring for someone with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition or navigating grief.

 

 

Whatever your reason for coming for counselling, this space allows you to explore and define your challenges, discover your strengths, and make more life-enhancing choices. Counselling is YOUR journey, and for that reason, we will both have work to do and collaboratively decide on the best ways to accomplish your counselling goals.

 

Sessions last 50 minutes and are scheduled in advance through my website or at the end of each session. Session fees are payable directly after each session. I have a card machine available at the practice.

Counselling: Group

​

Support groups provide an opportunity to share experiences, learn from each other and provide emotional support. It gives a sense of community and a realisation that you are not alone, especially when dealing with health-related challenges. People confronted with health-related challenges of end of life decisions often experience emotions like fear, anxiety, and sadness, which may leave them feeling isolated and alone. In the supportive environment of a group, they can openly express these feelings without judgment and experience empathy, understanding and validation for what they are going through. It also provides a platform for sharing coping strategies and insights in dealing with these challenges. Support groups provide a valuable space for individuals to realise they are not alone in their journey.

 

I facilitate the following support groups:

  • A face-to-face support group for caregivers of people with life-threatening or life-limiting conditions (Palliative Care)

  • An online support group for women navigating menopause (Perimenopausal Mental Health)

 

Please email me if you are interested in joining one of these groups.

Psychometrics: Recruitment and Selection Assessment

​​

Selecting the best candidate for a particular position and organisation requires understanding each candidate’s skills, abilities, interpersonal behaviour, and sometimes even motivation. Assessment aims to align a specific role with each candidate’s unique attributes, skills, and potential to make a final decision. I use various assessment tools to evaluate a candidate’s cognitive ability, numerical, verbal and logical aptitude, problem-solving skills, personality traits, interpersonal skills, emotional intelligence, and leadership potential.

Psychometrics: Personal Development Assessment

 

Growth is integral to being human. We change, grow, and develop throughout our lifetimes. Therefore, it is only natural that many come to a point where they realise they have outgrown their current position or career field. Whether seeking a new challenge, pursuing a long-held passion, or responding to industry changes, reconstructing or adapting one’s career direction is often complicated. Family and financial commitments usually seem insurmountable barriers to growing a career closer aligned to one’s values or interests at that specific point in one's life.

 

Using the results of a carefully selected battery of psychometric tests and through a process of continuous discussion, we will use this information to analyse your current situation, inventory your skills and interests, and brainstorm potential career directions. We will then develop a strategy to re-align your career to where you want to go. Through this process, we will consider your life and career holistically and address each obstacle individually, enabling you to change your career direction in a realistic, sustainable, and responsible way that aligns with your values.
