SELINA'S APPROACH

Counselling opens space for awareness and reflection. It provides opportunities for enquiry and for areas of life that have not been thought, talked or felt about, to have more space. 

Selina works to assist you 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 explore with you the beliefs and values that are influencing your ability to live the life you want. She is aware that the cultural and political landscapes we are living in has a bearing on our current life experiences and 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 COUNSELLING

Relationships can be intensely rewarding and also intensely painful. Counselling can provide a stable and non-biased place to explore many different relational areas, such as:

ACC COUNSELLING

Sexual violation, 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. 

Counselling can assist you to manage or resolve the legacy of such events, to reclaim life and hope, and new possibilities.

Selina provides free sexual trauma counselling through ACC Sensitive Claims. You can contact her to find out about the ACC process. 

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

SUSTAINING CREATIVITY in LIFE

This personal development workshop focusses on sustaining creativity amidst life’s complexites. We will work with moments from your current, past or future life, including areas such as relationships, communication, work, transitions and dreams.

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.
