COUNSELLING / COACHING
In the past decade people seeking the help of professional coaches / counsellors has increased, not least to support individuals who are experiencing high levels of stress related conditions. Stress has been defined as "The adverse reaction people have to excessive presures or other types of demand placed on them" (HSE 2001). In 2004 the HSE Annual Report revealed that 13.4 million days were lost due to stress. This is an astonishing figure, and the cost to both individuals and the economy must be equally as astonishing.
Stress encomposses many symptoms but can often be the underpinning factor in other conditions such as depression, tension, lack of confidence, low self esteem, clinical anxiety, burnout, panic attacks and much more. Anyone of us can experience the sypmptoms of stress regardless of age or gender etc. Sadly many of us 'suffer in silence' fearful of the connotations that are often associated with such conditions
Coaching or Counselling can help by providing strategies, interventions (a tool box) that you can use when experiencing difficult or challenging times, not by denying the reality of the situation, but by exploring through talking, listening (and hearing) to find solutions , regain harmony and balance and inner calm.
IF YOU KEEP DOING WHAT YOU HAVE ALWAYS DONE - YOU WILL KEEP GETTING WHAT YOU HAVE ALWAYS GOT!
