Nearly everyone faces challenges in life and at times this can be a lonely place where people feel helpless. To overcome these challenges talking to a Counsellor can help clients explore these challenges in a safe and confidential space and identify positive outcomes.

 

The benefits of counselling vary per individual. Whilst the Counsellor facilitates the process, the individual is able to identify strategies to better understand themselves, which will have a   positive impact on their overall well-being. 

 

Counselling can improve you as an individual and becomes reflective in your personal relationships.

Counselling approaches

At OHServices we have learned from experience that the relationship between Counsellor and the client is more important than the style of counselling.

 

Human beings are complex and unique individuals. We have our own personalities, circumstances, needs, strengths, weaknesses and struggles. Therefore we favour the use of a Humanistic Integrative approach tailored to the needs of the individual because we understand that what works for one person might not work for another.

 

The approaches we apply include:

Person Centred

Psycho-spiritual

Psychodynamic

Gestalt model

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)

 

We work creatively with these different approaches and strategies to suit our individual client’s needs.
