Psychometric Assessments
Assessments done for school readiness, scholastic difficulties, ADHD, career guidance, personality insight or emotional difficulties as well as for recruitment and appointment purposes.

Career Counselling
The Career Counselling Process assists the individual to identify all their unique and specific interests, personal qualities, aptitudes, values, preferences and talents. Only when you make career decisions that are in line with this, will it ensure sustainable job satisfaction. Career Counselling is given to high school students and adults.

Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis is used as one of my therapy tools if and when I agree with the client that it may support the therapy process. It is fully explained and the process is always managed by the client. Hypnosis is best described as an altered state of consciousness, a changed state of awareness, concentration and perception. During the experience of hypnosis, the person remains in complete control and should they ever feel uncomfortable because of the experience, they can always reopen their eyes and terminate the intervention. Everyone at some point or another has experienced hypnosis. One experiences hypnosis when one misses an exit while driving or when one is so engrossed watching TV or reading a book that even a person talking will nor distract one from one’s activities. Hypnosis is a very powerful tool to facilitate healing, to break negative habits or thinking and to bring about positive change.

BWRT® – BrainWorking Recursive Therapy®
An immensely effective technique that can often dissolve mind-related problems far more quickly than traditional methods. It is a new model of psychology and psychopathology that fits with current thinking on neuroscience. It help effect permanent change in a very short period of time. It differs from many other types of therapy, because it can be undertaken content free. What this means to you is that if you have a problem that you would feel uncomfortable or unable to talk about all the details then you do not need to. BWRT tends to move away from the traditional pathology model of psychology where there is focused on what is wrong with a person. It rather focuses on where you want to be but just haven’t been able to. Rene Pfaff is an accredited Level 2 BWRT® Practitioner.

Children

When working with children I foster a bond with both the child and parent. Depending on the age of the child I will utilise different techniques and will involve the parents, family members and school if and when appropriate. I work in the areas of:

Adolescents / Teenagers
When working with adolescents, the young person is my main client as confidentiality and trust remains vital to our relationship. We go on a journey together to enable the young person to face the difficult challenges that teenagers face over these years. Parents, family members or the school may be involved depending on the age and issue we work with. The adolescent steers this process and ultimately walks away with a new perspective and life skills. I often work with

Self Esteem

Peer Pressure & friendship

Depression

Eating Disorders

Self Mutilation (cutting)

Relationship problems

Academic & school problems

Adults
When working with adults I draw from a variety of therapeutic models and tools to best assist the individual in their specific circumstances. The aim is to build a trusting and comfortable relationship from where we can explore, gain insight and build. Each individual should ultimately feel that they receive the required support to face current challenges and that they leave with the required tools and capabilities to manage their situation independently into the future
