What is counselling?

Keren Ludski is a fully qualified and registered counsellor. Keren aims to create an environment where the client feels safe, comfortable and supported. Counselling offers people the opportunity to increase their self awareness and therefore begin the journey of bringing positive change in to their lives.

Counselling is a partnership between the counsellor and the client. Keren will use listening skills and varying therapeutic techniques to explore issues and help the client to reach solutions. At Peace of Mind, Keren works with the whole person. She recognizes that people have the potential to heal themselves if given enough support and guidance. Keren firmly believes in the importance of the client feeling comfortable with the counsellor. It is for that reason that you need only commit to the first counselling session.

Why do I need counselling?

People often seek counselling because they are feeling unhappy or dissatisfied with one or several aspects of their life. You may be feeling anger, frustration, apathy or hurt about some issues that are taking place in your life. You are probably feeling that it has become too difficult to work through it on your own. You need some clarity, someone to listen to you who is neutral and removed from the issues.

How long do I need to commit to counselling?

Keren will not pressure you in to long term counselling. Keren can offer brief, medium or long term support depending on what your issues are. In your first session Keren will discuss with you the reasons for seeking counselling and the outcomes you are aiming for. She will then try and present you with the number of sessions you will need and the sort of treatment needed.

At Peace of Mind we understand how difficult it may be to accept that you need help. It takes courage to make the first appointment. Keren's aim is to make you feel as comfortable and safe as possible. As a client you will have complimentary use of the relaxation lounge. A chance to sit, relax and enjoy a glass of herbal tea.

She works with individuals, couples, children and groups. Her areas of interest are stress management, grief and loss, relationship issues, low self esteem, anxiety disorders, eating disorders and body image, adolescent issues, and working with children. .
