Greenlight Healing & Personal Development Consultancy

Greenlight believes in client-centred counselling. The issues that a client presents are rarely one-dimensional. For example, someone going through an emotionally painful separation may also find they are drinking too much. For this reason an integrative therapeutic approach is preferred. Counsellors may use the Psychodynamic or Person-Centred model, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), or Solution-Focused Therapy. Following an initial assessment a contract is agreed upon (usually six weeks subject to review) and clients are encouraged to set goals.

Counselling is available for a range of issues including: Depression. Anxiety. Stress. Relationships (Gay, Lesbian, Heterosexual, Bi-sexual). Sexual problems. Sexual/Gender identity. Loneliness. Bereavement. Addictions. Social anxiety. Panic attacks. Phobias.
Counselling sessions are strictly confidential.

Most couples, whether living together or separately, married or in civil partnertships, can experience periods of strain, irritation, disappointment, resentment or boredom. If the issues and behaviours that spark these negative feelings are not addressed, alienation and a breakdown of communication can follow - sometimes leading to one or both parties seeking emotional and/or sexual gratification outside the relationship.

Greenlight Couples Counselling provides an environment in which couples can explore and attempt to resolve painful relationship issues, and initiate open and frank constructive communication.

If the relationship has broken down irretrievably, the counsellor can help to initiate a respectful and amicable 'uncoupling' - which is especially desirable if there are children in the relationship.

Couples Counselling is the same price as individual counselling. Each partner has an individual session with the counsellor before attending as a couple. This initial session can, if necessary, be held over the telephone.


LIFE COACHING

Life Coaching focuses on the present and future, with an emphasis on performance and visible results. Many of us spend our lives chugging along in second gear, lacking the energy or drive to zoom up into fifth – which is where the Life Coach comes in. Building on a client’s strengths, the Life Coach uses motivation and commitment to maximise their potential to achieve beneficial and measurable results in all areas of their lives. Life Coaching at Greenlight has a holistic dimension. We believe in the importance of achieving balance and harmony in all areas of life – work, relationships, family, leisure and health.

To see measurable results, one face-to-face session followed by ten telephone consultations is recommended.


CONFIDENCE BUILDING

To experience rewarding lives, successful careers and fulfilling relationships we need confidence. Yet many people lack this vital ingredient, or suffer from debilitating social anxiety and so never achieve their full potential.

Greenlight Confidence Building Programmes aim to build confidence in the three areas of Body, Mind, and Spirit:

· Confident Communication looks at how we can use our bodies and voices to express ourselves effectively and spontaneously.

· Confidence Busters and Boosters examine the psychological barriers that prevent us from moving forward in our lives, and explore ways of building self-esteem and assertiveness.

· Inner Confidence seeks to establish a solid, 'centred' confidence from within.

Programmes are available for individuals and groups (women only, and mixed), and are tailor-made for organisations and the corporate sector. For clear results a minimum of ten sessions is recommended.
