Counselling For Women

Do you sometimes feel like you have to multi-task your multi-tasking so you can keep up with your life?

Do you wish that once in a while you could just let go instead of sitting in the tub and thinking about everything that’s waiting for you?

As a consequence of today's pace, women have more responsibilities at work and home than ever.

On top of that, our society trains women to be overachievers. Messages in the media set unrealistic standards that women internalize.

We often end up being too hard on ourselves and think we’re not good enough.

Perhaps some of these common issues for women resonate with you.

• Doing Too Much: Do you sometimes feel like you’re on the go from sunrise to sunset, never getting any time off because there is so much on your plate?

• Lack in confidence: Do you make a decision and then second-guess yourself? Do you worry what others might think or how they might react?

• Relationships: Do you keep hoping for Mr. Right but somehow always end up with Mr. Wrong? Do you find yourself talking to your man but he is always “stuck on Mars”?

• Children: Parenting can be a wonderful rewarding experience… and sometimes more complicated than you anticipated. Are you stumped because you can’t get your children to behave? Are you tired of feeling like a nag and the house slave?

• Anger: Are you comfortable expressing how you feel or do you find yourself steaming quietly or having outbursts of anger?

• Stress: Do you sometimes wish there were more hours in your day so you could recharge your batteries instead of feeling tired all the time?

• Low Self-esteem: Do you avoid opportunities or challenges because you worry you won’t do well or don’t deserve them? Do you wish you could be more assertive and speak up for yourself?

• Poor body image: Do you look in the mirror and think you are too fat, too skinny, too short, too tall, your hair too curly or too straight? If only your breasts were bigger or smaller and your belly flat your life would be different?

• Saying NO: Do you struggle with saying NO to people? Do you wish you didn’t always feel you wanted or had to please people? Or are you telling yourself “I like to be helpful” but then end up feeling overwhelmed?

Together we will discover the answers and solutions you need to empower you to make choices for a brighter, more prosperous future.
