Counselling and Psychotherapy Care
South Caulfield

What is Counselling and Psychotherapy?

Counselling generally refers to short-term consultations that aims to help individuals:

• Effectively process intense emotions such as grief or anger
• Deal with immediate causes of stress and anxiety
• Clarify values and identify options when making important personal or professional decisions
• Manage conflicts within relationships
• Develop better interpersonal and communication skills
• Intentionally change unproductive thoughts and behaviours.

Psychotherapy typically refers to a longer-term treatment that can be seen more of an explorative process that helps a person:

• Look at long-standing beliefs, repetitive thoughts and behaviours that have resulted in the quality of one’s life and relationships
• Uncovers root causes of problems
• Results in a more dramatic changes in perspective regarding oneself, one’s life experience, and the world in general.

Along Counselling and Psychotherapy, our therapist Blair, utilises a range of effective methodologies to support his clients care program, which includes Family Constellations Therapy. This therapeutic approach is widely practiced and designed to reveal inherited patterns of beliefs, thoughts or behaviours, that are unhelpful and destructive in the life of an individual. Resolving such dynamics can bring immediate peace and clarity to a person’s mental and emotional state. Blair has been formally and personally trained by Director of Family Constellations Institute, Mark Wolynn
