Welcome, I’m Hayley The Counsellor
As a counsellor I work to empower people, to restore health and happiness, to teach coping skills, to improve relationships, and to manage stress.
Working with adults, adolescents, couples and families. With an eclectic training background, I will be able to adjust my approach, depending on your needs.
As a Counsellor, I have been fortunate to work at inpatient specialised care addiction treatment facilities. Where patients primarily received treatment for process and substance addiction, including support for trauma, personality disorders, anxiety, burn out and depression.
In 2017 I moved into private practice in Hermanus.
I offer face to face and Skype sessions.
Languages: English and Afrikaans.
I can assist you with:
Individual wellness and wellbeing i.e the quality of your day to day life. Wellbeing is the status of our existence as human beings and includes emotions, thoughts, environment, relationships, work fulfilment, stress management, sleep and all other things that contribute to health and happiness.
Crisis, trauma, grief, burn out, triggers for substance abuse and anxiety. I am trained and registered in Eye Movement Integration (EMI) therapy. EMI is known as both a neurotherapy and psychotherapy and has its roots in neuro-linguistic programming. It is a short term therapy that is very effective when working with trauma. I am also registered and trained in Resource Therapy.
Substance Addictions – drugs and alcohol
Process Addictions – sex, eating, gambling, exercise and other compulsive, uncontrollable behaviours.
