Hi!

Well done for taking the first step in looking for support. You might wonder what a Wellness Counsellor is and if this is the right fit for you.

As per the ASCHP, the generic scope of a life skills practice is that of wellness which includes, but is not limited to,

• providing support in interpersonal social relationships,
• spiritual growth, marital relationships, parental relationships,
• health-related issues such as stress management,
• lifestyle management in the prevention of chronic diseases,
• victim empowerment,
• domestic violence,
• trauma debriefing,
• household planning,
• HIV/AIDS, counselling,
• workplace adaptation,
• risk-taking,
• study methods,
• management of anxiety and depression,
• substance abuse,
• support of vulnerable people,
• meeting cultural issues and diversity in the workplace,
• improvement of employment prospects,
• support to people with disabilities,
• mental preparation for retirement,
• and any other general problem that people encounter in day-to-day living.

As Wellness Counsellor, my role is to support you in whichever capacity you may need. As an ASCHP registered counsellor, with a degree majoring in Psychology and an Honours degree in communication, I look forward to meeting you where you are at in life and seeing how we can work together to remedy the challenges you might face.
