REFRAME - Helping you to Help Yourself

    By learning how to Handle Change

Welcome to the ONLINE COUNSELLOR Website where you can learn ways for ....

 

WHY IS Change identified as the key to a more enjoyable life?

Anthony Kidman answers…

"We experience discomfort with change when it feels out of control. Changes that are out of our control are often sudden and imposed upon us. Abrupt, sudden changes frighten us. We have trouble adapting our thinking and become confused and overwhelmed by such changes. It is the abrupt and unexpected nature of the events which play a major role in your stress reaction and generate the consequent anxiety"

Virtually all counselling approaches aim at helping the client manage change as it's defined by Anthony Kidman.

This website gives you access to a number of cognitive approaches including

REBT or Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy

CBT or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

A STRENGTHS-BASED approach using tools like the "Resilience Doughnut" (Lyn Worsley)

and a new development especially suited to Online Counselling called: REFRAME

We have found that one of the most effective ways to help you get a handle on what's upsetting you is to first take time to build up some knowledge and skills to help you manage change in terms of your thinking, your problem-solving and your perception of reality. Courses are available online for a nominal sum in REBT, CBT and also REFRAME. Consultation with the Online Counsellor can help you determine which one will suit you best in your quest for an improved life.
