Addiction Counselling

Addiction is both a psychological and physical illness.

Dependency on an object or person becomes an addiction only when it begins to hamper your daily life. If you reach a stage where you cannot do without it, begin to crave for it or feel anxious when you don’t have it, it is advisable to seek immediate treatment.

One of the major hurdles in treating addiction is that addicts live in denial of their condition. The problem ceases to be his or her personal issue. The biggest victim is their family. If the problem is not solved quickly, the family could be ripped apart, leading to more heartbreak.

We understand the horrors and trauma that an addict’s family suffers. We also assist families come to terms with the addict’s condition and empower them with skills that helps them stay together in troubled times. Family can be the biggest motivation for an addict to quit.

If you or your loved one suffers from any kind of addiction contact Beyond Wellness Counselling Services. We can work with you to take back control of your life.

Anxiety and Depression

Depression can be caused by things that happen to us in our lives that we don't cope with very well.

• irritability
• sudden outbursts of anger
• feelings of inadequacy
• sleep and appetite disturbances

These can all be signs and have a significant impact on your life and others even having you questioning your connection to life. If you are feeling overwhelmed, or are thinking about hurting yourself, it is vital to seek help.

Depression is characterised by excessive or long-term depressed mood which affects the person's life and is often accompanied by feelings of anxiety.

Anxiety is an automatic, unconscious and very natural response to worrying situations.

Our Counsellors can develop a plan with the skills necessary to manage anxiety and depression so that it no longer controls you. We can assist you to calm your mind, settle your body, get some adequate sleep and experience well-being.

Loss and Grief Counselling 

Grief is the reaction people have to any loss in their lives. It includes a wide range of responses which vary with each person and their particular circumstances and experiences. The death of a significant person in one's life is a major loss, but grief can be felt about many losses.

Examples include:

• The breakdown of a relationship
• Moving
• Diminishing health
• The loss of a pet
• Losing a job
• Giving up something that mattered a lot
• Losing a dream

When people grieve, they are coming to terms with what has changed in their lives. At the same time, they are beginning to find new ways of going about their lives to cope with the gaps that the loss has created. .

Grieving is a way of finding solace and building strength to bounce back into life.

Loneliness, sadness, rage and depression are some of the processes of grieving. We might find that the people that we are close to may be struggling to cope themselves, or may be struggling with helping you to deal with your grief. Having someone to offer guidance and support at times like this can be life-altering – and sometimes life-saving. Beyond Wellness Counselling Services are here to work with you to come to terms in dealing with your loss.
