Individual Counselling

DO YOU...

• Feel LONELY and DISCONNECTED from those around you?
• Feel an ongoing UNHAPPINESS and worthlessness that you can't seem to shake?
• Feel SPLIT between what you show people and what you feel on the inside?

If the answer is yes to these experiences you are likely here because you want to do something to change how you feel about yourself. Psychotherapy has helped people with these experiences to make changes in their life. Experiencing emotional difficulties may have resulted in you feeling ashamed of yourself, and difficulty in opening up to those around you. You may experience anxiety and constantly criticize what you say or do. You may have ended up feeling cut off and alienated when what you really want is to feel close and invloved with those you care about.

Finding a "fit" in the counselling field is much more important than finding a "fit" in a pair of trousers. Delyse proved to be that perfect fit for me. She supported me through one of the most difficult periods of my life. Her calm and gentle style provided me safe and warm haven, where I was able with her guidance to begin addressing my demons. With continued support I've felt able to walk forward, armed with self-awareness, knowledge and tools that have had a positive impact on every relationship in my life. Thank you, Delyse from the bottom of my heart! CF

You may feel overwhelmed and hopeless about ever changing these feelings and experiences that have been around for many years. The thought of reaching out for help and talking with someone can seem like the LAST thing you want to do. However, countless people have found the act of speaking of and working through their shame and fear immediately begins to change it.

In depth psychotherapy involves reconciling ongoing issues and CORE UNHAPPINESS that affects your relationship to your self and others. Experiences that may be underlying this core unhappiness could be childhood abuse, trauma, self-esteem, depression, substance abuse and loss.

You may be aware of these experiences in your life but just want to forget them and put them behind you, but a part of you KNOWS that they are connected to the fear and shame you carry. You may also feel confused about why you seem to feel differently about yourself than those around you and keep telling yourself that you have no reason to be unsatisfied with your life.

• Over 20 years of experience including my own personal therapuetic work that has given me a very deep understanding of internal conflicts and the unfinished business we carry that interferes with living more fully.

• Many years of experience working with people in long term and short term therapeutic relationships. My knowledge of trauma, emotional and psychological abuse comes from my training and many years of experience.

• There will be opportunity to use dreams in our exploration together. I have various trainings in the use of dreams and find them a rich and often surprising tool of self discovery For a further discussion on the counselling process read What to Expect.

I started seeing Delyse because I felt that i was leading two distinct and separate lives. Although this pattern caused me a great deal of stress. I found it hard to reconcile and move forwrd in a positive way. Through the explorationof my past, my thought processes and patterns, and my reactions to every day life occurrence, Delyse is helping me to understand my actions and reactions and be confident in the decisions that I make. Delyse is an open and understanding counsellor who does not forget that she is a human being too. I feel that Delyse relates to my experiences and this makes the process real. Nikki'
