Getting The Love You Want

Harville Hendrix.

• Dealing with the specific personal issues causing them to be in conflict
• Identifying the conflict patterns and styles they are engaged in
• Learning new communication skills such as reflective listening to improve their understanding of each other
• Creating a shared vision for their future relationship and looking at practical ways to put this into place
• Looking at childhood issues influencing their choice of partner, and how this affects them

Elderly People

"We are always the same age inside"

Gertrude Stein

I work with elderly people in care centres and in the community

• making decisions and dealing with feelings appropriate to the changes accompanying this stage of life
• remaining living in the community with appropriate care and support in place
• managing the process of relocation whether this be to a care centre, or to a higher level of care within the centre
• I work in collaboration with medical professionals to ensure assessment of mental, emotional, and social needs so as to assist with appropriate linking to community resources

Trauma

Trauma is “…. overwhelming, unbelievable, and unbearable.”

The Body Keeps the Score

Bessel van der Kolk

Today we work with trauma so as to prevent re-traumatising the person. Clients are helped to rebalance, not relive the trauma.

Such work is effective with:

• Any intense life-threatening event or situation
• People suffering from adverse childhood experiences (domestic violence, abuse at home or
school)
• (GBV) gender based violence
• Post Traumatic and Chronic Post Traumatic Stress
• Rape
• War veterans
• Trauma arising from providing emergency services
• Accidents
• Natural disasters
