What is Counselling?

Counselling is a personal journey taken by an individual with the guidance of a trained and skilled professional. Issues and areas of vulnerability are discussed in a non-judgemental environment of safety and acceptance, with the aim of promoting healing and reconciliation.

Areas commonly addressed in counselling involve relationships; pre-marital, marital and divorce issues, children, youth and blended families. Disability and its effect upon the individual, their family and carers. Addiction; including gambling, alcohol and drugs. Emotional issues associated with abuse, anger, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem and stress to name a few. Disabilities, disorders and illness; including chronic fatigue syndrome, eating disorders, Autism Spectrum disorders, physical and mental disability. Mediation & Supervision. The list goes on.

Counselling is both a preventative and curative therapy, providing the opportunity for individuals to objectively explore insights that facilitate a change in the way they view both themselves and the world around them. The ultimate objective of counselling with Karinya is to achieve healing and reconciliation.
