Counselling for Adults and Adolescents Back to Top

Counselling for adults and adolescents provides guidance for individuals to work on issues or concerns that may be hindering their ability to be more effective and productive in their life. Areas of concern may be around the home, school, in the work environment, communicating with others, lifestyles or even in the process of change itself.

Counselling for adults and adolescents can lead to self-understanding and self-knowledge, which further enhances one’s confidence and self-esteem and the ability to effectively face life’s challenges.

Counselling for Blended Families - What works and what does not work? Back to Top

Bringing together a functional blended family can be both challenging and rewarding. Can also very quickly or over time become disfunctional, distressing and wounding for all or some members and relationship within the family group.

Through counselling it is possible to find a way through the fears, hurts and disconnects to transforming these relationships and creating an integrated, expanded family that is meaningful and can add to the experiences of life for the individual and family rather than being seen as taking away from life within the family. There will be a lot of insight, understanding and better, more open communication through this process.

Employee Assistance Programs

These programs are popular with many major businesses and organisations. EAP's give workers and members of their families an opportunity to solve personal problems such as alcohol and drug abuse, depression, stress, marital issues and other potentially harmful situations before problems adversely impact on job performance. EAP's can provide professional assessment and counselling for workers and their families. They are also a resource for wellness training in the workplace through onsite workshops and education programmes.

The benefits of an EAP extend to the employee, their family, co-workers and the organisation itself. Organisations with EAP's can also experience cost savings through such things as absenteeism, on-the-job accidents and tardiness.

  • Business partners with issues that need to be resolved.

Family law court precedents and structures have very clear guidelines and legislative power to split assets. In business disputes and dissolution of business relationships no such protection is afforded. Many private businesses do not have the capital base to exit shareholders. Disputes and differences frequently occur. Resolving such issues using litigation is costly and time consuming.

  • Family businesses where there is conflict between various family members.
  • Businesses that need succession planning.

Succession planning involves training of new CEO and transitioning existing CEO either into retirement or new job or into chairman role. Conflict can occur when the old CEO stays on and becomes Chairman transition. (Beyond Conflict & Creating the Future- Strategic Visioning)

This includes businesses which:

  • Need to set a new vision for the company or refresh the vision
  • Businesses that are undergoing merger and acquisition activities. This type of activity requires new vision and strategy to be determined aswell as to work through processes of them and us becoming ‘we’.

For teams:

  • For teams needing to take ownership of new work practices
  • For teams in the process of change
  • Determining their team life phase
  • To provide the opportunity for the team to revitalise

Increasingly managers feeling overwhelmed, stressed or isolated are turning to executive mentors and coaches to help them overcome professional and personal hurdles.

How does coaching and mentoring help?

  • Clarifies your purpose and direction
  • Organises decisions and actions so they consistently move you toward you goals
  • Plan life, career, or business steps with effectiveness and power
  • Take on challenges with greater ease
  • Evaluate risk objectively
  • Handle transitions such as a new career, divorce, job loss or retirement
  • Evaluate and adjust your own results
  • Finish what you start with high standards of excellence
  • Enjoy both the process of creating and the results

Resulting in:

  • Improved communication, assertiveness and initiative
  • Increased passion, enthusiasm for life and work
  • Greatly increased creativity and capacity to produce described results
  • More harmonious relationships with friends, family and co-workers
  • Greater personal and professional fulfilment
  • More freedom! Better health! Financial success! Less stress! More time, energy and fun! More confidence!

  • Clinical Supervision
  • LifeMap Training Courses
  • Therapists Luncheons

Clinical Supervision is a vital and ongoing requirement for all therapists and an important component of professional accountability. We provide supervisors who have a range of skills in either individual or couple therapy for individuals or small groups.

LifeMap is an unique program conducted over a weekend or as a 4 week course for 1 evening a week. It was developed by LifeConnect for people wishing to chart their life course through a personal, supportive and interactive process. We welcome interest from therapists wishing to complete the training to run this course.
