ANXIETY
Alleviate your surface anxieties, as well as the deeper anxieties that are stored in your Unconscious Mind.
The end of anxiety is the beginning of lasting peace. Regular one-on-one counselling can help reduce both surface level as well as deeper level anxieties. As anxiety reduces, the executive functioning part of the mind begins running the show and life becomes a lot smoother and eaiser to manage.
DEPRESSION
Depression is oppression. Depression must be treated or else it will not depart. The only approach to this mental pathology is the deepest of compassion, patience and sensitivity.
The end of depression is the beginning of freedom. Regular one-on-one counselling can not only help to diminish and even extinguish both chonic and acute depression, it can also serve as a powerful preventative measure that can keep depression at bay for life.
Operation Stress Injury (O.S.I.)
Counselling for symptoms related to O.S.I. can not only help mitigate acute stress responses during military and first-responder shift work, but can also assist these same people in living more peacefully and effectively in their personal relationships.
O.S.I. was formulated within the clinical setting of the Canadian Armed Forces and was defined by them as any persistent psychological difficulty resulting from operational duties performed by a Canadian Forces member, but recent studies have shown that O.S.I. is a biochemical reaction of the body to a stressful situation, so its diagnosis can be applied to anyone going through or having gone through a lifethreatening or extremely traumatizing incident.
Criminal Cases & Court Ordered
Velas Counselling has some years experience handling various criminal cases and court-ordered therapy in a timely and effective manner.
Court-ordered counselling can not only seem daunting, it can seem punitive and even unjust. However, even though the case itself has been very stressful, your counselling does not have to be painful. It can be a time for self-excavation and healing.
Psychoanalysis & Dream Interpretation
Psychoanalysis is a psychotherapeutic methodology created by Sigmund Freud as a mode of treatment for severe mental illnesses and psychopathologies.
Psychoanalysis can be particularly useful in a psychotherapeutic clinical setting because of its insistence on the leadership of the Unconscious Mind within sessions. The exporation of the Unconscious Mind, often through dreams, will undoubtedly create great psychological healing.
