Our Ideal Health Solutions counsellor, Stefana, is motivated to help others work through their concerns through the therapy of talking. Having graduated with Bachelor degrees in both Science and Psychology she found herself still searching for the profession that was the right fit for her and that is how she came to study Counselling. Counselling gave her the tools to practice from a perspective in which respect is given to all individuals as experts in their own lives who along with a little guidance can be emowered to make the decisions they need to better their lives. Stefana has enriched her studies further by completing a number of advanced study majors including;
Child Development & Effective Parenting Working with AdolescentsGrief and Loss Counselling Mindfullness Based Therapies
Child Development & Effective Parenting Working with AdolescentsGrief and Loss Counselling Mindfullness Based Therapies
With a particular interest in helping adolescents she has furthered her studies in this area. "Many changes occur naturally during this time as one grows from child towards adulthood, and although individuals are no longer children and thus have a much greater understanding of the world around, the necessary problem solving skills may not yet be fully developed and may need support. Furthermore new endevours such as starting high school, new peers/friendships, new found freedoms such as driving, selecting subjects, entering the workforce to name a few can all bring about there own set of challenges which individuals may seek support for. I can be there to listen and support without judgement, helping best as I can as they navigate this pivotal time in their lives."
Stefana uses a range of therapeutic methods, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution Focused Therapy and Mindfullness Based Therapies to help you work through your personal problems in a positive way. She can help you to clarify the issues and explore strategies to resolve or reduce them depending on the issue.
Before joining the team at Ideal Health Solutions, Stefana worked many years in public health, whilst co directing and managing Ideal Health Solutions as she does still to this day.
