A life without dreams cannot truly be called a life
What do we do?
REST Counselling offers counselling and corporate coaching to individuals and organizations. We support you to develop the insights and solutions you need for self-development and growth that will enhance your career, your family and your intimate relationships.
What don’t we do?
REST Counselling is not about band-aid solutions. We are about meaningful change. We will walk with you through the process of identifying and activating the resources you have in your personality, your family and friends, your workplace and your community.
Our values:
Courage: Seeking the pearls of great value, wherever they might be found
Care: Recognising that we are not islands, growing in awareness of our infinite connectedness
Value: There are no little people (including us)
Compassion: We all stumble, winners get up. Mocking the fallen reveals our fear; lending a hand reveals our strength
Stepping Stones
REST Counselling was established initially as a counselling service focusing on the needs of men in families. We recognized that many men were reluctant to use traditional counselling services and set about offering an alternative. REST Counselling provided a mens-only environment that was successful in enabling men to build positive, powerful and supportive relationships.
In response to growing demand from women, as well as the recognition that men’s issues affect women as well as men, REST Counselling expanded and now supports roughly equal numbers of men and women. This brings a unique balance and component to the service for both genders.
In the wake of the world-shaking events of 9/11, a growing number of people came to REST Counselling for life coaching and personal support. We provide a confidential and supportive environment in which you can safely explore questions of meaning and identity, and work through feelings and fears related to significant decisions and events. We also provide practical solutions for stress management and self-care.
In recent years, REST Counselling has become increasingly involved in workplace support programmes. REST Counselling has a growing track record of success in training individuals and groups to understand and apply personality theory and systemic awareness in their public and private lives and relationships. REST Counselling is committed to enabling you to understand and succeed in your workplace, in the belief that this has a direct and positive flow-on to how you relate in your personal and family relationships.
