I graduated as a Professional Counsellor with a Masters Degree in 2012 and have been working both in the public and private sector since then. I specialize in working with adult individuals and couples going through difficult life-transitions and overwhelming stressors that impact their quality of life. With individuals, I work on self-development, depression, anxiety, and personal life-transition. I work with individuals in exploration of authentic-selves and brainstorm with clients ways to achieve a satisfying and meaningful life. I find joy working with couples as they navigate through their relationship, finding their own methods of how their relationship works, facilitate ways to strengthen their abilities to communicate both their feelings and intentions to one another. I also specialize in working with multi-stressed families in the community. A job that gives me a great opportunity to work with families who have been in disadvantaged family systems (sexual/mental/physical abuse, addictions, mental health problems and poverty) since childhood and are now adults trying to break their dysfunctional generational family patterns and create a better life for themselves and their children. My main therapeutic focus is empowerment and self-exploration. I believe that a safe, nonjudgmental environment enables clients to process past and present situations that are impeding their quality of life, digest the accompanied emotions, and brainstorm the best way forward. What is Counselling? Counselling is a talking therapy that takes place in a trusting, non-judgemental safe environment. Everything that occurs within a counselling session, except in the most exceptional of circumstances, is kept completely confidential and information is not shared with anyone. The main aim of the counsellor is to help the client to help themselves on their personal journey to improve the quality of their lives. Counselling sessions are held weekly, fortnightly or ad hoc. Individual, couple, family are provided. Home visits can also be offered. For further information contact me via email on melimaryrose@gmail.com or call on 99894150.
