Substance Abuse & Addictions
Rooted in groundbreaking science, this new and original Substance Abuse and Addictions Program uses ancient, powerful ideas and practices to treat a modern problem.
Almost all substance abuse and addictions programs that exist today, including the Alcoholics Anonymous program and all of its offshoots, originate from two ideas: first, that a Divinity exists, and, second, that a connection to one's own Divinity is the only true path to recovery from any addiction. This program is a designed only those who are in hell and who have truly resolved within themselves that they would like a way out permanently. It is there that this program begins its work.

No one wants to marry a stranger.
It takes time to fall in love. Velas Counselling has developed an original, seven-activity program to assist couples in preparing for the long journey of marriage. The main idea behind the program is that real intimacy is only the beginning of true love; that is, intimacy is the arrival and not a goal to be acquired. Marriage is the committment and ability to preserve that intimacy. Please connect with us to find out how we can help delve deeper into your relationship.
Bipolar I & Bipolar 2 Disorders
Using new and original ideas to treat a very old mental illness.
Bipolar Disorder, formerly known as Manic Depressive Disorder, is an impermanent disorder or mental illness of the human brain in which the individual afflicted is caught in a vicious, repetitive and dysfunctional cycle of godlike euphoria followed by severe depression. What makes Velas Counselling's approach to treatment different is, firstly, the program is designed very simply and is able to fit a very complex mind and life, and, secondly, the program's main thrust is not to attempt to change the patient's neurobiology first, and behaviour second; rather, this program's approach begins with the impetus toward lifelong stability, believing that true healing begins there.
Sports Psychotherapy
Using psychotherapy to help professional athletes live healthier and longer lives.
Sports Psychotherapy is a new and original formal psychotherapeutic methodology created by Velas Counselling and based on Freud’s psychoanalytic theories. Its main methodological thrust is based on the theory that the body and mind require complete stillness in order to discover one’s individuality and uniqueness as a human being. Through the use of various therapeutic tools and fundamentals, this methodology has as its ultimate goal to prevent the client, who is a professional athlete, from permanently damaging their bodies, minds and relationships during the course of their careers, and further to assist the client in elongating their careers.
