What Counselling can do for You

Our day to day life is made up of a series of conversations where we are expected to wear many hats and cope with life changes.  Sometimes life can seem overwhelming, but counselling can give us a chance to look at ourselves on a deeper level.  It can also give us the chance to question our path, the role we play, our narrative we live by and if we have really discovered our true identity. 
 
Counselling can help you think differently so you can cope with life better, give you new life coping skills so you can ride the ups and downs easier and increase your confidence.   It can also give you the chance to talk about your feelings and issues in a safe, caring, understanding and non-judgemental environment.
 
Our counselling service provides a growth promoting environment with an accepting, warm and genuine attitude.
 
 

During counselling sessions we can also teach

Mindfulness Communication for Couples

Learn the art of mindfulness so you can appreciate your partner for who they are now rather than always considering their past.  Work through your past experiences and embrace the present moment.  You will also learn how mindfulness can improve your listenging skills, attention, and improve your ability to be considerate and respectful to one another.

What is Workplace Bullying
 
Workplace bullying is when people use aggressive or unreasonable behaviour. 
 
If a person is coming across as offensive, inappropriate, intimidating, rude, humiliating, insulting through non-verbal and/or verbal communication then you are dealing with a bully.  Just remember that communication can include SMS, text messages and emails. 
 
People will bully you because they themselves feel threatened, insecure and powerless.  They feel good by putting you down.  Therefore counselling will help them realise how their actions are affecting others and it will help them improve their attitude in a safe and non-judgemental environment. 
 
Sometimes a person can come across as a bully because they are stressed and don't know how to deal with it.  
 
Who can be a Workplace Bully
 
Anybody can be a workplace bully including the business owner, staff, CEO, manager, etc.  
 
What Impact does Workplace Bullying have on the Workplace
  • It can cause the victim to suffer from psychological and physical symptoms such as stress, anger, anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep disorders and lack of self-esteem.
  • It can create a loss of income as staff will take more time off work, make more mistakes when at work, suffer from lack of concentration and confidence and is more likely to have accidents in the workplace.  Increased staff turnover will also occur, creating a loss of valuable skills and experience.  
Studies show that the above symptoms have been known to exist for over 5 years after the bullying had occurred if it is not dealt with effectively and in a timely manner.  
 
Workplace bullying should not be tolerated and dealt with as soon as possible before the victim, their families, friends and colleagues suffer from the consequences.
