Separated Parenting

Separating can be a stressful and emotional time. When children are involved and there has been conflict in the relationship prior to and during the separation or divorce, children can end up witnessing it and sometimes used as a means of controlling or punishing each other.

If separating couples are able to control their feelings in front of the children and work together in the best interests of the children, then children can manage the upheaval in their lives with less distress and disruption.

Low self-esteem confidence

Low self-esteem is a serious condition, usually originating in childhood and manifesting itself in negative ways in adult behaviour and relationships.

The number of sessions required

The length of time spent in counselling is flexible and varies according to individual needs. Some people make rapid progress; others find themselves in a position of requiring longer-term support. Usually counselling sessions are weekly until the acute stage is passed and then may become fortnightly and finally monthly or stop when clients feel there is some form of resolution and they have the necessary skills to maintain their relationships themselves.

My theoretical approach

Integrate various theoretical approaches in my counselling, including systemic theory, attachment and loss, person centered counselling, psychodynamic therapy and transactional analysis, also using aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy and neuro linguistic programming.
