Counsellors are trained professionals who help you explore and work through issues or difficulties that are impacting your life.
They can support you in areas such as establishing pathways to change your employment or career; also transitioning through life change situations; coping with stress, depression and anxiety as well as building your capacity for resilience.
A Counsellor can also work with you to adjust your unwanted feelings or deal with conflict situations; develop personal and workplace communication skills; and to learn techniques for increased independence and wellbeing. These sessions are confidential and held in a private setting.
As a Mentor I will work with you to develop life skills to enable you to achieve your personal and work related goals. These skills can range from communicating effectively, problem solving, managing money and a budget, prioritizing your time, setting goals and developing plans, building confidence and self-esteem, and setting boundaries.
