Together, we'll explore feelings of vulnerability, as well as your sources of strength, as we focus on building your self esteem, setting clear boundaries, and managing life transitions with confidence."

"Working with a psychotherapist is a confidential place of your own, a point of contact with another human being, who is trained, informed and supportive. Coming to an understanding of yourself takes time, allowing what previously was unconscious or not seen to become conscious. Coming to understand through insightful awareness of what's holding you back from your life and potential"

Coping Skills Counsellors
With coping skills or coping mechanisms, we learn to overcome issues like stress, depression, anger or anxiety.
Pro-active coping involves dealing with a problem by using constructive coping activities such as planning, confrontation, self-control and restraint. Overuse of coping mechanisms, like avoiding problems or working obsessively, can exasperate the weakness.
Emotion based coping skills reduce symptoms by addressing our feelings e.g. discussing the issues, distraction, relaxation, reframing or humor can all help. But negative coping mechanisms, which tend to be impulsive, like denial, projection, rationalization, repression or wishful thinking can make the underlying problem worse.
Some coping methods are more like bad habits than constructive life skills e.g. drinking and drugs. Other examples might include skin biting, nail biting or hair pulling (trichotillomania).
If you find it hard to cope or are having trouble coping, counsellors in L4L can help develop constructive coping skills for children, coping skills for kids and life coping skills.
If you're looking for help with coping skills in L4L or for a L4L coping skills counsellor, these professionals provide coping strategies. They include L4L coping skills counsellors, coping skills psychologists, coping skills psychotherapists and coping skills therapists.
