Individual therapy

From time to time, a person can experience psychological distress.

Identifying the exact nature of the distress and its origins is known as an initial assessment.

This assessment enables the client and the therapist to develop a plan with the goal of reducing the distress.

Often, after this work, the client might feel better than ever, having developed improved coping skills to deal with life’s ups and downs.

Some other people might not have an identifiable psychological illness but rather benefit from supportive therapy: a space where they can review their life, wonder about life’s big questions or just refocus to make the most of their life plan.

Supervision

Supervision is a support process for other helping professionals: to review their work with their clients and keep their work-life and home-life in balance, as caring for others can take too-heavy a toll without a “supervision” space where the professional can process the content and impact of their work.

Professional Assessment

Vitality has a specialty in offering an intensive assessment for helping professionals. The professional might be beginning training in a new career, transitioning into a new career or needing to re-fresh and re-focus their career. This assessment runs for three days and usually sees the client come away from their work setting to a different town, so that they can attend to the process, free from the obligations of work or home life. Being in a different space, allows the professional distance to be able to look at “where they have been” in their career, and as importantly, give them space to look at “where they might move towards”. This time and space-away is also a “potential”-space for hidden wisdom to emerge: there is a danger that a new direction could have hidden dangers (it mightn’t be right for the client). Talking things over with a new “listener” can safeguard against taking the potential wrong path.
