Personal Care Counselling
We combine the practical conceptual tools of Transactional Analysis with our skill and experience to aid people to make changes they want and to accomplish their goals.

 
The main issues we address are:

• Stress Counselling

  Working together to reduced the effects of stress, we evaluate your personal stress level and suggest strategies as you develop new skills for for managing stress in your life.
  

• Grief Counselling

  Every grief journey is as unique as the form, complexity and nature of the loss. When you experience a loss you can become stuck in a painful place on the grieving journey. When counselling with people who have experienced some type of loss, we join their journey as supportive companions on their journey to aid people in building new strengths and understandings as they experience the spectrum of emotions, behaviours and thoughts that arise on their path.

Figuratively a touchstone provides a criterion to find the genuineness and value of something. We aid people in sorting out the gold and silver of their lives from the base metal. Touchstone indicates solid strength for people to trust in as they sift through the gold and metal, re-establishing their strengths and seeking their new initiatives.
