COUNSELLING / LIFE COACHING - GROUPS & ONE-TO-ONE

Jackie has trained and is experienced in various types of counselling (outlined below) and uses her skills and techniques to assist people to make sense of their lives, whether their need is related to work, relationships, personal or other situations.

She works holistically, looking at physical, mental, emotional and spiritual elements of client's lives and incorporates all of the below mentioned systems into her work.

Voice Dialogues

From a very young age we all develop many 'masks' or 'personalities' as defence mechanisms which serve us well at the time. Unfortunately, we often bring these 'masks' which no longer serve us into our adult lives , which often hold us back, blocking our progress.

Voice Dialogues isolates the parts of us that are causing problems and talks to them, giving them the opportunity to put their point of view (often for the very first time) and allows that part of us to redefine the role it now needs to play in our life. This method is a safe and easy way to release negative blocks from the sub-conscious and take charge of our life.

Solution Focussed Brief Therapy

This form of counselling moves away from what is wrong with our life and focuses on how we would like our life to be. It looks for ways of solving current issues and setting and moving towards new goals.

It also follows the philosophy of 'IF IT AINT BROKE - DON'T FIX IT'

This type of counselling is ideal for day-to-day issues and can work in a relatively short time, but on its own is not really suitable for deep long-standing emotional problems.

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)

This set of techniques is often described as 'the Pursuance of Excellence'. It looks at ways in which people can become aware of the beliefs, negative thoughts and habits that are holding them back and teach them how to re-programme their brain to think and behave in a positive manner, leading to fulfilment, motivation, satisfaction, high self-esteem and 'SUCCESS'.

Transactional Analysis (TA)

TA takes the view that most of the conversations/communication we take part in is a process of transactions or game playing. It analyses the roles people play in these communications and helps us to see where we may be the victim of manipulation and how to move away from negative game playing.

Life Coaching

We often know what we would like to do but can't seem to find a way to achieve our goals. Sometimes we know we want something, but don't know what.

Life Coaching helps us sort out what we want, whether it is achievable and then develops a strategy for working towards a successful outcome.

This requires a deep commitment from the client, guided by the Coach, undertaking specific tasks to set deadlines.
