Individual counselling or therapy is a collaborative process between a therapist and a person in therapy. Common therapy goals can be to inspire change or improve quality of life. People may seek therapy for help with problems that are hard to face alone. Individual therapy is also called psychotherapy, psychosocial therapy, talk therapy, and counselling.
Trauma occurs when people are confronted with a disturbing event that overwhelms their coping abilities. Traumatisation is more than a physical effect because the mind (cognitive functions), spirit, emotional wellbeing, behaviour and – most significantly – nervous system are also disrupted during the traumatisation process. TRE® therapy, neurogenic body tremors are a neurobiological response of the nervous system to release tension so that the body can return to a state of rest (homeostasis) after traumatisation.

Couple's counselling, also known as marriage- or relationship counselling, is a form of therapy that supports people with their intimate connection. This type of therapy is helpful for partners considering separation or seeking improved intimacy and understanding in their relationship. While the relationship itself focuses on marital counselling, each partner is expected to pay attention to self-improvement and self-awareness.
My approach in family therapy is a form of psychotherapy (talk therapy) within a group context. The focus is to improve interfamilial relationships and behaviours. In addition, if a family has been impacted by trauma, this therapeutical approach often involves psycho-education to help the family understand the impact of trauma, as well as work through the adverse effects of trauma. Family therapy consists of loved ones, such as the parents (or guardians), their children, and siblings; it can sometimes also include grandparents, uncles and aunts, friends, and caregivers. Family therapy can assist with situations such as death, parent divorce, relationship conflicts, and adjusting to new life changes or a medical condition.
Group counselling typically involves four to ten clients and one or two group therapists. The therapy groups meet weekly for ninety minutes to two hours. The group context is theme-based (i.e. narcissistic relationship survivors, griefwork, etc.), and they can safely discuss the issues and offer each other social support. Groupwork techniques aim to facilitate open communication, shared experiences and mutual support among the members. The approach also promotes personal growth and self-awareness.
