Our Counselling Approach
In your first session with us, your counsellor will listen to the problems that you have and will suggest the way forward to you upon discussion with yourself. Rest assured, our counsellors are fully committed to helping you resolve your problems. Get in touch with us today for a free initial consultation.
We use various types of counselling approach depending on the individual and nature of concerns.
-
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT): Behavioural therapies are based on the way you think (cognitive) and/or the way you behave. These therapies recognise that it is possible to change, or recondition our thoughts or behaviour to overcome specific problems.
-
Couples counselling (CC): Couples counselling is a type of therapy that looks to aid communication and facilitate change within an intimate relationship.
-
Humanistic therapy (HT): Humanistic therapies focus on self-development, growth and responsibilities.
Our counselling approaches may be applied on a one-to-one or couples basis for individuals or couples.
DEPRESSION
Regain Your Motivation
Do you feel somewhat lost and frustrated with life. Do you feel overwhelmed by everything around you? Do you feel helpless/hopeless? We can help you get back on your feet. Depression can happen to anyone but it is very different from feeling down or sad. We all feel unhappy at one point or another but the feeling of depression does not go away
STRESS AND ANXIETY
More Calm and Confidence
It is not unusual for one to feel stress or anxious. People experience stress and anxiety from time to time. Stress can be triggered by events that subjects one to frustration and nervousness such as pressure from work, family etc. Anxiety feeds on stress by causing a feeling of fear, worry and unease. We can help you identify the cause(s) and offer remedies
RELATIONSHIP CONFLICT
Stronger Bond With Trust
Conflict can arise at any point in any relationship, be it with family (parents, siblings), couples, friends, colleagues etc. There are behavioural and cognitive components of conflict both of which can result in the build up of negative emotions (Affects component) and therefore conflict. We can help address these concerns to restore your interactions and bonds.
EDUCATION ADVISOR
A Step In The Right Direction
It can be quite overwhelming sometimes to come to a decision on what path one should take for future success. Should I enrol at University? College? Apprenticeship? Others? What course/qualification? We will work together with you to help you identify your abilities (inherent/acquired), and the various options that you have moving forward.
MONEY MANAGEMENT
Regain Control of Your Finance
Money is a necessity and managing it is even more so. You will be introduced to the principles of budgeting, and expense tracking. We will discuss your incomings and outgoings in order to find areas where you can cut back and save. We will also discuss prioritising needs over wants and the need for flexibility in budgeting. Changes to lifestyle may be required in extreme cases.

Dave
“I first visited Counselus last year and have made several more visits since. I have enjoyed my time at Counselus as we worked through my problems. The counsellor was kind, friendly, non-judgemental (this is important). I felt a genuine concern about my welfare and was supported throughout. I am now at a better state in comparison. I recommend Counselus to anyone.”
Rob
“It's pandemonium when it comes to decision making for me. Counselus helped me to come to a decision about my future plans by explaining to me more carefully about my options. The strong sense of commitment and responsibility was reassuring. Thank you for all your support”
