Services Provided by Safe Haven Counselling
Safe Haven works with anyone struggling with relationship difficulties either in their marriage, family or friendships. Their clients also include people going through emotional and mental hardships such as grief, anxiety and depression.
Below are some of the services they provide:
1. Couples Counselling
Safe Haven provides a safe and supportive environment for couples to work through any feelings of loneliness, disconnection and any other issues arising in their relationship.
Counselling sessions focus on learning how to communicate effectively, working together to find the root causes of your problems and creating solutions, breaking toxic patterns and cycles, and finally, rebuilding trust and intimacy.
2. Anxiety Counselling
The common types of anxiety that Safe Haven sees in counselling are social anxiety, generalized anxiety and panic disorder.
Counselling helps you understand where your anxiety comes from and how to develop effective coping strategies. Your therapist will use different approaches depending on whether the anxiety is trauma-based or based on life circumstances.
3. Depression Counselling
It has been proven that counselling for depression can be as effective as medication and can also help with your overall mental health.
The experts at Safe Haven can offer support by helping you understand what is causing your depression and help you effectively manage it.
They use evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). These help in identifying and changing negative thought patterns and building a better and stronger sense of self.
4. Grief and Loss Counselling
Counselling helps you go through grief by not suppressing all the emotions involved in grieving and is especially recommended for people experiencing complicated grief. This is when the pain of grief takes more than two years to subside.
Your counsellor walks with you through the process of accessing these emotions and accepting the loss without making you feel rushed to overcome the grief.
More resources to help you through your period of grief are available here.If you need to talk and you’re not sure you want to try counselling, Safe Haven offers a free 15-minute consultation by phone or video so you can have a feel of their counselling process.
