Experiencing any of the following:
Addictions
“What is addiction, really? It is a sign, a signal, a symptom of distress. It is a language that tells us about a plight that must be understood.”
(Alice Miller)
Depression
“Depression is the most unpleasant thing I have ever experienced. It is the absence of being able to envisage that you will ever be cheerful again. The absence of hope.”
(J K Rowling)
Anxiety
“Anxiety is a lot like a toddler. It never stops talking, tells you you’re wrong about everything and wakes you up at 3am.”
(Toni Hammer)
Living With Trauma
“We have learned that trauma is not just an event that took place sometime in the past; it is also the imprint left by that experience on mind, brain and body.”
(Bessel A van der Kolk)
HEALING WITH
NuVision Counselling
C.G. Jung once wrote that “Neurosis is always a substitute for legitimate suffering.” We tend to try to avoid pain and suffering however we can. And see suffering as something that shouldn’t be part of life. But it is, and always will be. The secret to dealing with suffering or pain is being willing to courageously accept and experience it rather than constantly avoiding it, which only creates additional suffering in the form of various psychiatric symptoms.
Here at NuVision Counselling your therapy sessions are designed to be holistic, experiential and motivating. Each session is tailor-made to suit your needs. Sessions involve psychoeducation, free associations and many opportunities for experiments with thoughts, behaviours, body movements and ideas. Our work centres around your therapy goals, and your search for answers and resolutions to often difficult questions.
MATCHING WAVELENGTHS
Therapeutic Relationship
‘The human connection between client and therapist is the medium for change.’
(Bill O’Hanlon)
The therapeutic relationship (also therapeutic alliance, the helping alliance, or the working alliance) refers to the relationship between therapist and client. It is the means by which a therapist and a client hope to engage with each other, and effect beneficial change in the client. In fact, the key lies in the term itself: ‘alliance’ means that there is a sense of working together, that the therapist is not more powerful or privileged, and that it takes work on both sides to make progress.
THE VIRTUAL COACH
NuVision’s

Eradicating spatial hurdles, NuVision’s Virtual Coach Therapy via Tele-Counselling sessions are a convenient mode of therapy designed to cater to individuals either residing far away or with timing and commuting constraints. Guided by the latest neurobiological research and maintaining high ethical standards our Virtual Coach Therapy Program is an emphatic combination of psychotherapy and communicative technology.
