what makes a good counsellor?...
 

  A good counsellor will help you to feel at ease and comfortable about sharing your
   problems with them. They will always treat you with respect as an individual without
   judgement or criticism. They will help you to see and accept the underlying reasons
   for your current problems, so that you can realise why things have happened as
   they have and decide upon your own course of action.

   Counsellors may also use other skills if you are in agreement such as Clinical
   Hypnotherapy to quickly help clear underlying deeper issues if that is required,
   as well as teaching you skills for stress reduction such as deep breathing
   exercises and meditation if needed.
  
   Combining hypnosis with counselling can have the added benefit of powerfully
   reinforcing the positive choices and directions that have arisen from the
  counselling work, maximising the effectiveness of solutions.
  
   what should you expect to discuss at the first session?

     confidentiality - Counsellors confirm that they will never tell your Doctor,
      your employer, your family or partner, anything about your sessions without
      your permission or consent.

    clients right not to disclose - The Client does not need to disclose anything
     they do not want to. The client decides whether they will divulge anything they
     may want to, to affect a successful outcome for themselves.

     frequency of and number of sessions - The Client and Counsellor will come
     to an agreement about the number of visits it is likely to take to help the client
     reach their goal/s. This is reviewed as the work continues.
     A common number of visits might be 3-6 weeks. Sessions are made on a weekly
     basis at the start and may progress to a fortnightly basis as work progresses.

   

  Past Life Regression...
 
  what is past life regression?

  Past life regression is a therapy using hypnosis whereby a client is taken back
   through time on a journey or deep inner quest to their own truth. It is perfectly safe,
   and very easy, as easy as relaxing and letting the subconscious do all the work.
   The therapist asks you to describe what you are seeing in your minds eye and is
   trained not to lead you with their questions, rather to let you tell them what you are
   experiencing as the journey progresses.
 
  what if I don't believe in past lives? 
 
  Believing in past lives is not necessary to experience real personal growth from this
   work. Even if past lives is just a construct of the mind, as some people believe, it is
   often so beneficial to a client to use this method rather than going back to traumatic
   times in their current life which may be too difficult for them to deal with.
 
   Having taken many clients on this journey, even those who didn't think they could
   have a past life experience, few have not been able to experience a meaningful
   past life experience. Those few have connected with something of powerful
   importance and meaning that directly connected with problems they were
   currently dealing with in their life.
 
  what benefits can I get from past life regression?
 
  Through regression you can learn why obstacles and challenges are holding you
  back in your present life. It is possible to gain freedom from many issues by
  using this safe and gentle therapy.

 

  Psych - K...

  what is psych-k?

  Psych-K is a user friendly way to rewrite the software of your mind and
  change the printout of your life!

  It is a safe, non-invasive and effective technique to change outdated perceptions
  and beliefs at the subconscious level of the mind.
 
  By changing beliefs using a specific technique similar to, but not the same as;
  kinesiology, NLP, etc., both the body and mind are "reset" at a cellular level.
  Left and right brain hemispheres are balanced using special body hold
  techniques as the new beliefs are concentrated upon.
 
  where does psych-k originate from?

  Psych-K (TM). was founded and originated by Robert M. Williams, M.A. (USA) in
  1988. He is the author of the book "Psych-K...The Missing Peace in Your Life".
  Robert is also co-host of the DVD. "The Biology of Perception...the Psychology of
  Change", with Dr Bruce Lipton, M.D. Cellular Biologist. Psych-K is a reflection of his
  personal commitment to help individuals to recognise their divinity, their greatness
  and become the peace they seek....For more info about Rob and his work, visit the
  Psych-K website at:  www.psych-k.com.
 
  what can psych-k do for me?

 When you change your beliefs you change your reality!

  The Psych-K balance work transforms any subconscious resistance you  may
  have to achieving your goals, whatever they may be in your life....
 
  how long does it take for a balance to work?

  The results of a balance may be felt instantaneously or may evolve over time (hours,
  days, weeks or longer) for example: if your goal is to find a job,  releasing the fear of
  changing jobs or of being unemployed may be felt at the time of the balance.
  However, acquiring a new job may take additional time and action though it has
  become much easier for you to overcome your fears about it.
 
  For a health related issue where balancing will help to reduce the stress around
  inner conflict that may be supporting the presence of dis-ease in your body, it is still
  important to take all the appropriate physical steps to help the body to heal itself.

  how long does a balance last?

  Balances seem to last until they are no longer needed or useful to the subconscious
  mind. Life is an evolutionary process.

  Beyond affirmations, will power and positive thinking...Psych-K balances your
  beliefs to be more positive, and clears away the negatives that have been holding
  you back. Sometimes clearing beliefs that have been with you since childhood.

  how do I arrange for a psych-k session?
 
  I usually integrate Psych-K work within counselling sessions as it is essential to
  establish an effective new "core" belief. The more specific the belief is to you and
  your thinking, the better the result. A good facilitator will be able to find just what is
  really holding you back.

Meditation...


  why meditation?

  ...........because it reduces Stress and heals the body!!!!!!.......

  Meditation cultivates the appropriate kind of attention to mobilise positive change.
  With compassionate, caring attention such as meditation you open the door to
  personal growth and healing.

  In many scientific studies it has been proven that meditation can heal by way of
  reducing the stress in our day to day lives, by the consistent practice of sitting in
  stillness, breathe awareness and contemplation.

  Meditation practice will teach you to relax your body, calm your mind, release
  anxiety, and give you a profound sense of calmness.

  how can I learn to meditate?

  I am a great advocate for all forms of meditation, though you need to find what works
  for you best. Meditation can be as simple as taking a quiet walk or sitting watching a
  sunset. Whatever works for you, as long as you take time out on a regular basis.

  I teach my clients simple ways to start meditating by simple breathing exercises that
  only takes 5 minutes a day at first..., as it can be hard to integrate real change into
  their busy day to day lives.

  Just start by taking five minutes a day to sit quietly where you can't be disturbed or
  interrupted. Close your eyes, listen to your breath, feel your breath going in and out.....
 
  Just doing this each day on a regular basis you will notice some improvement in your
  state of mind, more of this and you will notice those busy thoughts are not so upfront,
  continue to practice and you will gain more clarity and a sense of wellbeing.
 
  Investigate places you can go to take part in a group that meditates regularly and you
  just might change your life for the better!...
