I specialise in marriage counselling, which includes conflict management and resolution, improved communication, developing a deeper connection, and addressing trust issues. In marriage counselling, I combine talk therapy, personal growth, and marriage coaching. It has proven to be a powerful combination. I cover topics like emotional needs and I will show you how to meet them. How to manage conflict and resolve it faster.I would like to suggest that you follow a programme with me because it will help you in the long run. There are a few excellent skill sets you may put into practice to improve your interpersonal skills.
If you are not familiar how holistic counselling or therapy works, you are welcome to contact me for more in-depth information, but let's start with the basics first. The first session is primarily about gathering information and establishing your counselling requirements so that I can work with the two of you more effectively. Second, I will provide you with options on how I may assist you.
On the other hand, talk therapy is the most typical starting point, especially for resolving or reducing conflict intensity. The best approach is one-on-one, as seeing you together has the potential to exacerbate the disagreement. And once its under control, we can go forward.
In general, males are hesitant to reveal their genuine feelings and prefer to talk around the subject until they feel comfortable engaging with me and being more open, however doing general exercises on marriage wellness can help open communication.
My name is Jacques Du Plessis, and the ASCHP, a professional organisation that closely oversees the counselling sector, has formally recognised me as a certified professional holistic counsellor. You are in capable hands, so you can sit back and relax.
I am delighted to report that I have a good track record of success as a counsellor. Knowledge only becomes valuable when you understand how to apply it.
In addition to my regular office hours, I am available after hours on during the week and on Saturdays. Please contact me for a quote by clicking the WhatsApp icon on the bottom right.
I would like to thank Jacques for his excellent assistance. We used to fight all the time, over little things at first, and ultimately we were thinking of divorcing. Our work was being affected by this conflict, so as a last resort, we agreed to consult a counsellor.
We weren't prepared for how quickly our disagreement subsided and we were able to carry on a regular conversation without it turning into a brawl. We were able to implement fresh style adjustments after realising where we were making mistakes. I'm grateful.

See! I'm smiling once more. I was in such a deep, dark hole of hopelessness and grief that I felt like taking my own life because I could no longer bear to live this way. I noticed a post on my Facebook page suddenly, and rather than taking my own life, I reached out to Jacques.
I discovered a wealth of support along with taking up fresh perspectives. Jacques taught me how to raise my sense of self-worth and confidence. I was able to change my life and find new purpose in it with his assistance. Before giving up, I would like to urge you to ask for assistance.

We used to argue all the time, so we are relieved that things are back on track in our marriage. We sought the advice of various marriage counsellors, but to no avail. After deciding to get in touch with Life Stream, we discovered how successful Jacques' counselling style is.
We relished the more hands-on mentoring and personal growth that helped us mature at our own pace and pick up new skills. We gain improved conflict resolution and anger management skills.We highly recommend other couples to visit Jacques; he's every bit the counsellor one seeks.

I've discovered that clients gain significantly from personal development and marriage coaching over the course of six to eight months of visiting me twice or once a month. Although talk therapy and conflict resolution can assist in the short term, strengthening your relationship in the long run will require some time and effort. The good news is that it will also help you enhance your relationship skills in other aspects of your life.
We pick up poor habits from others, which can have a negative impact on our ability to successfully engage in a meaningful connection. Despite the diversity of civilizations around the world, there are a few things that bring us together. That is what I refer to as "life by design." There are a few basic things that we all require to have a healthy relationship that is been scientifically supported.
In addition to talk therapy and personal development, coaching assists you in using your newfound skill in your relationship, and as you grow into your newfound skill, you will grow out of your old behaviours. It takes time to perfect, but once you do, you will feel accomplished and proud of yourself. The adjustments you make in your life will last for a lifetime.
This tutorial will teach you how to understand conflict and how anger can affect your life and relationships. This information can be used to effectively manage angry feelings in a proactive manner, potentially leading to less conflict or hostility with others as well as negative feelings and emotions.
You'll learn about the anger cycle and how to tell if you're losing control of yourself or your behaviour. This is referred to as emotional intelligence. An escalation phase, a crisis phase, an enraged phase, a recovery phase, and finally a depresion phase are all present. It's important to understand why you act the way you do when you're angry.
In Addition, I will show you a few tips how to reduce angry feelings based on the type of anger you're experiencing after we've covered the fundamentals. Certain types of anger are more severe than others and may require professional intervention, which will allow you to assess yourself and decide what steps to take.
By Appointment sessions are available in person at the Elizabeth Lodge Hotel or online with Microsoft Teams. I'm available during the day, after hours or Saterday.

The general goal of a counsellor is to strive towards reconciliation; however, this does not always work out as planned. Feelings and emotions are not something we can turn on and off, and they are exceedingly tough to manage. Feelings and emotions are irrational and do not adhere to rationalisation.
I feel that clients gain the most from meeting me twice a week, which has the possibility for a significantly better success rate in reconciliation and restoration. And depending on what is underlying, such as trauma or behavioural issues, the rehabilitation time frame is greater.
It is critical that conflict be kept to a minimum during the counselling programme because it can further destroy the relationship's integrity, causing the counselling programme to fail. If a problem begins to escalate, it is preferable to contact me and schedule an appointment so that we can address it promptly.
