OUR SPECIALISED FIELDS INCLUDE:

Addictions Unlike habit forming it is not learnt behaviour, an addiction is any activity or substance we repeatedly crave to experience. Any fixation for which we are willing to pay any price necessary to receive. People have sacrificed everything for their addictions. Pride, dignity, families, jobs, friends, home, and even their own lives. The objective is to ‘feel’ a certain something or to numb out feelings that are too hard to bare.

Anxiety is a normal response to stress or danger. At times it is helpful because it can help prepare the body for action, and it can improve performance in a range of situations. Anxiety becomes a problem when it is experienced intensely and it persistently interferes with a person's daily life. Depression and anxiety commonly occur together. Not everybody who is anxious is depressed, but people who feel depressed often have some symptoms of anxiety.

Anger Management A certain amount of anger, is necessary to our survival. Anger is a completely normal, usually healthy, human emotion. But when it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems—problems at work, in your personal relationships, and in the overall quality of your life. And it can make you feel as though you're at the mercy of an unpredictable and powerful emotion.

Bereavement When someone close dies, many feelings may emerge: The intensity of these feelings can leave people confused and unable to manage everyday life. Memories may sometimes provide comfort but at other times can create a profound longing. This search for meaning can leave a bereaved person feeling isolated from others. Finding the opportunity to talk to someone outside the normal circle of family and friends can be of great help during this difficult time.

Depression is very common, almost anybody can develop the illness; it is certainly NOT a sign of weakness. Depression is also treatable.
There are no particular 'type of person' that are more at risk than others.


A Life Crisis is anytime in your life when things feel out of control.
It can be a minor or major incident which somehow makes you feel shaken to the core. One person can lose there housekeys and this can be traumatic to them, whereas to someone else this may seem trivial. We as counsellors never see anything as trivial. You & You alone are important to us. Sometimes you can not change the event, but we can listen to you, help you feel supported and explore your options and find ways of taking your life back.
If however things cannot be changed we will help you work through the feelings and come to terms with them in a healthy way.

Phobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by an overwhelming fear or dread of certain objects. A phobia can cause severe disruption and restriction of normal life activities and, at its worst, intense misery and suffering for the phobic person. The fear is so strong that it produces a range of physical symptoms which typically may include sweating, trembling, feelings of faintness and dizziness, nausea, palpations , hyperventilation and panic attack.

All our counsellors use their knowledge to fit your specific needs.
