Counselling at KHG
Our Counsellors work with people to compassionately find a shared understanding of challenging emotional situations. Mindfully observing and discussing experience, meaning and emotional responses to past, present and potential future situations, can help manage fears and expectations.
Whether life long or acquired/diagnosed later in life a disability may be a complex part of an individual’s identity. Without support to understand the underlying impact that living with a disability can have a person is often vulnerable to increased experiences of anxiety, depression and a negative sense of self.
Social isolation, grief and loss; traumatic experiences and overwhelm; plus independence and organisational challenges are typical life events that can all contribute to reduced resilience and an ongoing state of dis-ease.
Our counselling therapeutic support can involve –
- Collaboration in intentional problem solving and goal setting
- Exploration of neurodiversity-specific issues
- Cultivating curiosity about emotional regulation, literacy and acceptance
- Encouraging growth in resilience and capacity for function and experience
- Recognition and formation of interpersonal skills such as healthy boundaries
Counsellors use a range of culturally appropriate, up-to-date, and evidence-based skills and therapies to assist people in managing their challenges and building toward their goals.
This can include person-centred, strengths-based approaches and might include aspects of Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), and other mindfulness-based somatic therapies.
The unique access to the calming garden environment that Kevin Heinze Grow’s setting allows can also assists people who may find a more clinical setting confronting and can often allow greater therapeutic insights and enhanced wellbeing.
