REFRAME - Helping you to Help Yourself

    By learning how to Handle Change

Counselling Services

The Online Counsellor provides counselling via chatroom and email. When you REGISTER and explain the help you're seeking the counsellor will contact you via email and explain to you what's available to help and if what you seek is better served by other approaches you'll be told.

The approach used for online counselling is cognitive-behavioural which means you are helped to engage your thinking in connection with your experiences of behaviour and emotion. REBT works with the thinking, emotions and behaviour in combinations that assist you to reduce unwanted upsets. REFRAME is a new approach developed for online work and works rapidly to identify problem areas and to facilitate you getting into action as soon as possible. Both REBT and REFRAME are effective helping tools By all means ask questions via the CONTACT FORM

 

SUPPORT CHATROOM

The chatroom link requires you to register yourself so that you can maintain your anonymity by using a nickname and password. The chatroom is usually occupied by one or more counsellors but not necessarily so. Best times are between 2:30pm and 6:00pm New Zealand time most days.  There are conditions required for use of the chatroom including confidentiality and respect to others in the room. The support given is from others in various countries experiencing their own situations and issues. Together you can find ideas and ways to help yourself and each other.

What We Do

We help you using the REFRAME tools in this website, to a greater understanding of yourself and your situation so that you can identify a solution, set goals for it, and find tools to help bring that about if it is both possible and practical.

About Us

We (John and Carolyn) are based in New Zealand and in Canada and are qualified and members of the appropriate professional organisations who provide supervision and an appropriate code of ethics. Over the last eight years or more we have worked as colleagues online and developed REFRAME for both personal and relationship areas of life. Though we can both work with each area, John specialises in the personal area (disturbing emotions and behaviours) and Carolyn in the relationships area (couples, friendships, families).
