ADDICTIONS

Process Addictions

Individuals with process addictions often feel a strong impulse to engage in certain practices without considering the consequences to their well-being. From eating disorders and sex addition to excessive gambling habits, Stevens Consulting Counselling Services can provide the right treatment for clients facing this situation.

Substance Abuse/Addictions

Substance abuse refers to the use of illegal drugs as well as the extreme/improper consumption of prescription medicine, alcohol, and other legal substances. Stevens Consulting Counselling Services is ready to guide clients through the processes of getting clean and staying sober.

DEPRESSION

Depression is a common and serious mental health issue that negatively affects a person’s thoughts, emotions, and actions. At Stevens Consulting Counselling Services, we can assist clients in exploring different modalities and coping with depression.

ANXIETY

Feeling anxious when faced with important life events is normal. However, experiencing disproportionate levels of anxiety on a regular basis and without particular causes can become a serious condition that requires professional help. If you or someone you know suffers from continuous anxiety, please do not hesitate to visit us at Stevens Consulting Counselling Services.

PANIC ATTACKS

Panic attacks are a feeling of intense fear or discomfort brought about by a difficult or stressful situation. Their symptoms include palpitations, sweating, trembling, and shortness of breath. At Stevens Consulting Counselling Services, we can help clients understand why panic attacks happen and how they can calm themselves should they experience panic attacks in the future.

TRAUMA/PTSD

Significant, overwhelming events at any time during one's life can result in neurophysical changes. These traumatic events include, but are not limited to, motor vehicle accidents, surgeries, illnesses, medical/dental procedures, assault, rape, falls, near drowning, electrocution, attack by animals, war, and natural disasters.

Psychological trauma is the state of severe fright that a person experiences when confronted with a sudden, unexpected and potentially life-threatening event over which one is unable to respond effectively despite all efforts.

SLEEP DIFFICULTIES

Difficulties in sleeping may seem like a simple, harmless issue, but they can lead to serious wellness problems over time. Sleep difficulties are often caused by stress and health conditions, and Stevens Consulting Counselling Services can guide clients in discovering the root causes of their sleeping problems to properly determine the right type of therapy to perform.

NIGHTMARES/FLASHBACKS

Nightmares/flashbacks are often representations of a person’s guilt, trauma, or unresolved issues. Stevens Consulting Counselling Services can help clients interpret their nightmares and deal with the ghosts of their pasts.

SELF REGULATION THERAPY (SRT)

Stevens Consulting Counselling Services specialises in Self Regulation Therapy, a neurobiological approach to recuperation from trauma. It taps into the mind and body’s innate capacity to flexibly respond to daily challenges and stressors.
