SELINA'S APPROACH

Psychotherapy and counselling open space for awareness and reflection. They provide opportunities for enquiry and the exploration of all areas of life, to assist understanding, integration and the development of new responses in familiar and/or challenging situations.

Selina works to clarify the areas you want to focus on, and to create life-giving plans. She works in the here-and-now, and if appropriate, may work with you to investigate the thoughts, beliefs and values that are influencing your ability to live the life you want. Sometimes this may involve looking at current experiences, or future goals, or may focus on historical moments and events. Selina is aware that the social and cultural landscapes we are living in has a bearing on our life experiences and that this may also be an area for exploration.

Both short-term and longer-term sessions are available. The first few sessions provide an opportunity to see what the next steps might be and whether a referral elsewhere might be useful.

COUPLE & RELATIONSHIP SESSIONS

Relationships can be intensely rewarding and also intensely painful. Psychotherapy and Counselling provides a stable, neutral place to explore many different relational areas, such as:

RECOVERY FROM TRAUMA

Trauma, neglect and abuse, either recent or past, can have long-lasting effects in a person's life, including: loss of self esteem, depression, anxiety, reduced sense of safety, nightmares, flashbacks, hyper-arousal, PTSD symptoms, sudden anger, sexual difficulties, confusion and isolation.

Psychotherapy assists the resolution of such events, to reclaim life and hope, and new possibilities.

Selina has worked in the area of trauma, including sexual trauma, for the last 20 years.

PARENTING and ANGER

Parenting can be a challenge at the best of times. When we are stressed or upset, it can be even harder to parent the way we want. Guilt and shame can build up about how we are feeling and behaving toward our children.

Selina provides a confidential and supportive place for parents to look at what’s happening and to develop skills to understand and manage stress and anger. Learning different ways of responding to the frustrations of day-to-day parenting can give choice and a positive way forward.
 

WORKSHOPS

Experiential Self Development workshops

These workshops provide opportunities to explore and resolve important issues and relational conflicts in our lives and to increase the capacity of group members to live the lives they envision for themselves. No previous psychodrama experience is required.  

WORKING with PARENTS’ ANGER
Stage One: taking the heat off the child

This 2-day professional development workshop is for people working with parents, caregivers and families, where anger and distress is impacting children. The focus is on increasing awareness of escalation and de-escalation processes, as well as interventions to take the heat off the child, while supporting parents’ development.

SUPERVISION

Supervision offers an opportunity to reflect on the systems operating in both your client(s), and your responses to them. Supervision increases effectiveness and confidence, and is part of the ongoing development of a practitioner. Supervision also provides a place to reflect on ethical dilemmas.

Selina has provided supervision since 2010. She draws on her own experience of supervision, as well as her experience of supervising other counsellors’ work.

She has worked for a variety of organisations, including Employment Assistance, Rape Crisis, Parents and Anger, Ethics, and Elderly Counselling.
