BEACONs
WHAT ARE BEACONS?
Beacons are the service offerings of Phare Counseling that serve to foster mental well-being and career development.
INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can
change”- Carl Rogers
Individual counseling is one-on-one counseling between a client and a Counselor in a safe and confidential setting. Individual counseling involves a client conversing about their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors or anything that disturbs them. The counselor works with the client to identify and set goals they would like to accomplish by developing various strategies.
Anger Management / Control your anger and live in the present
“Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured” – Mark Twain
Anger is a normal emotion that is expressed when a situation is upsetting, unjust, or threatening. Some anger is necessary but anger becomes a problem when you have trouble controlling it and you express it in a way that harms yourself or others. Our anger management programme will help you understand your anger better and will teach you techniques to bring your anger under control.
Anxiety
“Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up “- Proverbs 2:25
Anxiety is a common reaction to stress and can be helpful in some circumstances as it alerts us of potential dangers ahead. It is one of our body’s defense mechanisms which help us to survive difficulties. Anxiety disorders differ from normal feelings of nervousness, and involve excessive fear or anxiety. Anxiety disorders are very common and are treatable.
Talk to our Counselor today to help you to identify your existing coping skills, and intensify their effectiveness through evidence-based, practical anxiety management strategies.
Stress Management / Be FREE of Stress
“Give your stress wings and let it fly away” – Terri Guillemets
Stress is the body’s response to changes in life. Stress can be any physical, chemical or emotional factor that causes unrest physically or mentally. While the elimination of stress is unrealistic, stress management is a realistic and attainable goal which can be achieved by various strategies.
Call our counselor to help you to identify your personal stress triggers and learn ways of coping with them.
Academic concerns
“Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall” – Confucius
Academic concerns, which may include issues such as learning difficulties, underachievement, lack of attention from teachers, and bullying, affect a number of students throughout their school or college life. Academic issues may affect a child’s performance in school as well as in other areas negatively. Children who experience difficulties as a result of academic pressure can benefit from counseling.
Wellness / If you don’t make time for your Wellness you will be forced to make time for your Illness
Wellness is the ability to develop one’s potential, work productively, build strong and positive relationships with others. It is a combination of a person’s physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social well-being.
Phare Counseling will help discover the strengths and abilities you possess, to build on them and help you accomplish your goals.
FAMILY COUNSELING
“You don’t choose your family they are God’s gift to you”- Desmond Tutu
Families go through a lot of changes throughout their lives; hence, it’s normal to have problems in one’s family life. Whatever problems your family is facing, there is help and support available.
Contact Phare Counseling to help you overcome difficult times together as a family.
Child and Teenage concerns
“Children are like wet cement. Whatever falls on them makes an impression” – Haim Ginott)
Children and adolescent boys and girls go through a wide range of physical, emotional and mental changes as they grow. During this phase, they are vulnerable to different external influences and if not guided well, it may lead to mental health problems like mood disorders, anxiety etc. which may eventually result in a difficult adulthood.
Phare Counseling offers support and guidance to school-going children and adolescents where they can express their problems in turn helping them resolve their issues.
Couples Counseling
“Two heads are better than one, not because either is infallible, but because they are unlikely to go wrong in the same direction.”- C.S. Lewis
It is normal for couples to have disagreements and conflicts. In situations, where they are stuck and cannot move further, Phare counseling helps to identify the underlying problem and helps resolve issues.
Relationship issues
“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves” (Carl Jung)
Relationships – whether family, friends, or partners usually have a marked influence on our sense of self and how we relate to others. These relationships offer security, affection, support and hope. Sometimes our most meaningful relations break down, leave us feeling lonely, disappointed and unsure of ourselves. The goal of counseling is to analyse what the problems are and then focus on solutions, rather than probing into the origins of the problems.
Phare Counseling can help individuals through self-reflection to increase self-awareness thereby building stronger relationships.
Parenting issues
“Don’t worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.” – Robert Fulghum
Parenting issues like decisions about childcare, schooling, discipline, household chores, work-life balance etc. has become more challenging in the present times and counseling aims to provide the necessary knowledge, tools, guidance, and support to parents without bias or judgment. Connect with our experienced Counselor when you feel overwhelmed or ‘stuck, and are not sure of the best steps to take for yourselves and your children.
