Looking to Make a Change?
"Love and compassion are necessities not luxuries. Without them, humanity can not survive." ~ Dalai Lama
Many types of people find counselling helpful - in particular, women who balance so many different aspects of life and juggle so many roles. Counselling can help bring you back to your centre and find your true self.
You may find the counsellor asks questions that you had not even considered or did not want to think about. Or you may just find that talking to someone unrelated and who will not judge your situation allows you to talk more freely.
When should I see a counsellor?
- If you feel you are withdrawing from life or fee that you are not coping even with simple tasks.
- If you feel your anger or negative emotions are becoming a problem.
- If you are struggling to be present in or manage your relationships with people you care about.
- If you have experienced a change in your life or trauma that is causing you issues.
- If you feel your stress levels are hurting your health.
Counselling is confidential so you can talk openly about anything that is affecting you. If you think counselling could be right for you then make an appointment with Araluen from The Connected Centre.

Self-Compassion
During hard times we need to be kind to ourselves. The Connected Center’s personalised self-compassion course can help you learn how to nurture and trust yourself.
Mindfulness
Being mindful helps you to become more aware of your feelings, why you have these particular emotions and of how they affect you. Our sessions help you recognise these things and learn to better deal with them.
