services
Some of the services we provide in therapy:
Bereavement
At Access we understand that feelings of grief and loss are not confined to the death of a loved one. Similar feelings can be experienced, in response to any type of loss such as, relationship break up, unemployment, emigration, illness, disability and more.
Depression including post natal
At Access we aim to help the person suffering from depression to accept and manage their feelings. The aim of this approach is to address the unconscious and frightening downward spiral that results from focusing on past experience and using it to predict future negative outcomes.
Life Coaching
Is a way of helping a person to look at every aspect of their life, with the aim of becoming more aware of the imbalances that are causing their feelings of stress and anxiety.
Anger Management
Is not about eliminating a normal human feeling, but about understanding that the ways in which we express our anger (our behaviour) is not always acceptable and can exacerbate the underlying issue/s.
Addictive Behavior
Access offers help for all types of addiction including, alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex and others.
Compulsive Disorders
Help is offered to anyone suffering from OCD, and other phobic behavior, using an integrative approach including elements of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
Self Harming
At Access we begin with an understanding that self harming can sometimes feel like the only available response to overwhelming and intolerable feelings
Eating Disorders
This is an emerging and contemporary issue requiring particular expertise. At Access we have a designated therapist with the training and experience required to work specifically in this area.
Marriage Relationship Counselling
Is another area that requires a particular set of skills. At access help for couples is offered by a specially trained and experienced therapist.
Anxiety and Stress
Stress is a natural part of human functioning, designed to help us assess and respond to perceived threats from the environment. It is normal to feel overwhelmed by our struggle to differentiate between perception and reality. At Access we aim to help people in this situation to reality test their assumptions and understand their core beliefs through integration of CBT and humanistic relational therapy.
Suicide Ideation and Prevention
A natural response to anyone expressing suicidal thoughts is to try to distract and mimimise because it is so frightening. At Access we promise to meet the person (without fear), and help them to fully experience their current reality.
Suicide Bereavement
Suicide bereavement is a particular type of loss often compounded by feelings of anger, guilt, rejection, and sometimes even relief. In this situation Access offers a confidential, non judgmental space in which feelings that cannot be expressed to family and friends can be heard, understood and accepted as part of the normal process of grieving.
Sexual, Physical, Emotional Abuse
The journey back to wholeness for any adult survivor of childhood abuse is a painful one. At Access we understand that a supportive, understanding, relationship is fundamental to restoring that which was taken away from a vulnerable dependent child through no fault of their own.
