change Your Life with Minnie MacDougall Counselling
Counselling just for you. Counselling that fits you and your needs
Minnie works from a strengths perspective. Minnie will work with you to build your confidence to strengthen your sense of identity and be the person that you want to.
Minnie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy along with Cognitive Behaviour Therapy to assist you to identify thought patterns that are not helpful for you (negative thoughts) replacing them instead with more helpful and realistic thoughts (positive thoughts).
Minnie always uses a systemic and family focussed approach. Every person has a system around them and this affects who you are today- your family that you were born into, your family and the people that you live with now, your friends and your wider community. Minnie will work with you to identify those learned patterns that are passed on to you from others. She assists clients to develop identify their values, their goals and to reflect on what they want for their own lives.
Self care is an area that Minnie will always come back to. Good self-care is vital to prevent burn- out; to prevent anxiety and depression taking over. Self care is essential for those that care for others. You will notice Minnie always asking what activities you have planned to keep yourself going. Minnie will brainstorm ideas with you and will discuss the impact of good self- care.
