ANXIETY disorders
Anxiety disorders range from conditions such as generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, OCD, social anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder(PTSD) to specific phobias. Even though anxiety is an emotion everyone can relate to, it does classify as a disorder when we feel it excessively, for a prolonged period of time AND it starts to affect our daily functioning (eg. work, school, relationships).

DEPRESSION & MOOD disorders
Mood disorders encompass everything from mild depression, to post-natal depression, major depression and related disorders, bipolar disorders and seasonal affective disorder. Although we all have 'down in the dumps' days where we feel like isolating, demotivated, teary, sleepless etc these symptoms again classify as a disorder when we feel it excessively, for a prolonged period of time AND it starts to affect our daily functioning (eg. work, school, relationships).

WOMENS' issues

They are normally struggling with issues such as relationship concerns, adjustment to change of life (ie motherhood, 'the empty nest syndrome', menopause), learning to how to not 'get lost' in our partners and families and how to maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

FAMILY & RELATIONSHIP problems
These are the most common presentations to the Clinic. People often come in with symptoms of some of the above (ie anxiety, depression) and once we get started, they reveal an inner conflict or a discord within a close relationship. This makes a lot of sense, as it is one of our primary human needs to foster solid relationships. When we are disturbed in this area, we often develop symptoms believing that anxiety or depression are our primary problem. It pays off to look into your relationship dynamics and re-asses what is working and what is not working for you. Read more.....

STRESS management
Elements of stress are common in the lives of most people. It is a normal emotion to feel, except once again - we look at how functional it is making you or preventing you from being. Learning to cope well with stress is one of the most valuable lessons one can master as stress is so prevalent, it creeps into our daily schedules 'skillfully' and can affect a whole range of psychological and health functions.

GRIEF & LOSS
There are many reasons why one would grieve, which go beyond what we typically feel describes grief (ie death, loss). Even though death and dying are an example of grief process, the process does extend to many other areas of life. These include loss of a relationship, loss of a role in life (eg as a provider), loss of physical capacity and so on. As such, grieving is an underestimated process and we often overlook the need to give ourselves space and time to grieve and recover from the valuable something we have lost. Read more.....

DISORDERED EATING
Some people find themselves in situations where food (and exercise) as well as
pre-occupation with body image become a staple of their everyday living. The
patterns of obsessional focus on the above and subsequent behaviours people
engage in, in order to manage their anxieties and acess a sense of relief - are
extremely damaging, sometimes downright dangerous. These disorders are often
misunderstood. Sufferers often need ongoing support and help in dealing with
these concerns & creating better health for themselves.

WORK & CAREER issues
Who has never had an issue or two at work? This is an area most people will be able to relate to. Workplace health and safety issues, workplace cliques and bullying behaviours, role confusion and career transitioning. In addition to that, people sometimes experience workplace trauma/ critical incidents, aggressive bossess and difficulties managing work-life balance. Read more.....

SELF ESTEEM & CONFIDENCE
Even though we learn many things growing up, we do not often learn the art of self acceptance and how to be confident within ourselves. This leads to a number of issues we later struggle with some of which include difficulties making decisions, staying in undesirable situations (or with undesirable partners or companies) for 'too long', not taking calculated risks, not trusting our own intuition and judgment, getting stuck in a rut, not looking after ourselves (ie health) well or failing to set clear, health boundaries in friendships, families and romantic liaisons. At the heart of a healthly self esteem, we accept and embrace our weaknesses and we build on our strengths. We take on feedback rather than get defensive. We back ourselves up and stand up for ourselves and we still do this with humility and empathy for others. Read more.....

ANGER management & EMOTIONAL regulation
Anger is completely normal and it should not be such a 'dirty' word. It really has become that in many peoples' minds. We get worried about admitting to anger, exhibiting it and addressing it. In these cases anger often becomes repressed which is unhealthy and can lead to self-sabotaging behaviours and 'over-reactions' to others/ situations. On the other hand, some of us struggle with containing our anger and people 'freak out' around us. This is also not useful. So learning how to understand, manage and express anger (and other 'negative' emotions) healthily is a very important component of building and nurturing our emotional intelligence. This means coping better with our own negative emotions and maintaining better quality relationships with others. Read more.....

LIFE COACHING, MENTORING & PERSONAL development
What if 'all if fine and dandy' but you happen to feel a little lost? Maybe your relationships, work and family lives are going great but you somehow feel like you are not 'where you are meant to be' or not living to your full potential. Two of our 'higer-order' human needs (ie one of those we seek to meet once our basic, primary needs have been met) are the need to GROW and the need to CONTRIBUTE. Personal development sessions can help you progress to a better version of yourself continuously and it can also help you clarify how to 'get out of yourself' and contribute to the wider world out there. It is a what a 'man's search for meaning' is all about. Read more.....
