Mara Hotrum Counselling Services
My primary goal in counselling is to support clients in their understanding of self. Recognition of individual dignity, value and unique experiences allows one to journey towards self-actualization. Self-actualization focuses on the concept of ‘becoming oneself’, this person centered focus is on realizing one’s full potential. Counselling allows me to help others recognize and enhance their own power to thrive and/or heal. Reflective practice and careful listening allows me to see and hear the pieces of your story that you may be too close to notice.In my practice of psychotherapy, I incorporate cognitive and behavior therapies as well as EMDR therapy, I work with clients to chose and collaborate on appropriate direction through careful formal and informal assessment. Again, a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment allows clients to explore their issues and thereby come to a new understanding. The varied tools and strategies that psychotherapy offers support change in thought, thought patterns, behaviour, and emotional regulation and response. Consistently, psychotherapy results have had a beneficial effect on client functioning.Skills and guidance for ‘lifelong comfort’ can be learned… In psychology, these are sometimes called ‘protective factors’. I am always astounded by individual responses to life experiences; similar experiences can have a debilitating effect on one person and be adaptively handled by another. In the past, these differences were often labelled as weak or strong. Today, we recognize that the human experience is far more complex than labels. Working on individual, personal, biopsychosocial supports builds personal resilience, helping those in need of recovery. The development of this personal resource toolkit both supports healing and proactively supports the acquisition of ‘protective factors’ and resolutions needed to help during future life experiences.
