Recovery from workplace bullying
Workplace bullying is a form of workplace harassment that involves low-level abuse and mistreatment over a long period. It can be verbal, physical or emotional and usually involves a superior harassing an employee. The effects of workplace bullying on the person being bullied can be devastating to their mental and physical health. The stress caused by workplace bullying may lead to anxiety, depression and even thoughts of suicide. In some cases, it can even cause physical illnesses such as heart attacks or strokes due to stress-related issues such as high blood pressure or diabetes mellitus (type 2). Keryl Egan will ensure your full recovery from workplace bullying.
Stress Management Counselling and Therapy
Stress is a common problem that affects many people. We can all get stressed at times, but it can be challenging to cope with when it becomes overwhelming. Stress Management Counselling and Therapy can help you deal with the issues that cause your stress so you feel less anxious and stressed. This type of counselling aims to teach ways to manage your stress better, so you don’t become overwhelmed by it in future. It may involve learning relaxation techniques or changing behaviours that make your life stressful. A therapist will work with you on the root causes of your stress (e.g., work-life balance) and develop a plan together of how best to manage them going forward.
Counselling for Depression Sydney
Depression is a common problem, affecting 10-20% of people at some point in their lives. While it’s usually treatable, and most cases improve within three months with the proper treatment, many people are reluctant to seek help because they don’t realise how common the problem is or that their symptoms can be successfully treated. Depression can occur for many reasons: it can be caused by stressful life events, chemical imbalances in your brain, or other mental health problems such as anxiety disorders or personality disorders. There are various forms of depression, including major depressive disorder (MDD), which includes intense sadness and loss of enjoyment in everyday activities. It may also involve changes in appetite, sleep patterns and concentration levels. Other types include:
- Bipolar depression, where feelings go back and forth between extreme happiness/mania and severe sadness/depression.
- Post-natal depression affects new mothers after childbirth.
- Seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
Which affects people during winter months when there are fewer hours of sunlight per day; dysthymia. Which involves low moods that don’t meet the criteria for MDD but cause significant distress over an extended period; milder ‘subthreshold’ forms such as subsyndromal depression (milder symptoms than complete diagnosis); persistent depressive disorder (dysthymic type); bipolar II disorder(hypomanic episodes with dysthymia).
Workplace bullying Counselling and Therapy Sydney
Workplace bullying is a form of abuse where the abuser uses their position of power to control and manipulate their victims. It can be challenging to speak out about workplace bullying as you feel it’s pointless, but you must speak up so that your rights are not violated by the person abusing you. If you are experiencing workplace bullying, seek help from a professional such as Keryl Egan.
Anxiety Counselling and Psychotherapy | Panic Attacks, Panic Disorder | Social Phobia
Anxiety is a normal stress response, but it can indicate something more serious when it becomes excessive and persistent. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in Australia, with an estimated 1 in 6 adults suffering from some form of anxiety disorder. Chemical imbalances often cause anxiety in the brain, which can be treated using therapy or medication.
Grief, Loss and Bereavement Counselling or Therapy Sydney
If you have suffered a loss in your life and are suffering from depression, anxiety or PTSD, I can help you cope with these difficult emotions. I offer to counsel children who have experienced trauma, and emotional abuse and adults. My practice is on the Upper North Shore of Sydney, but I also offer online counselling via Skype or phone if that suits you better. Keryl Egan is a psychotherapist who has worked with clients diagnosed with anxiety, depression and PTSD. She offers individual therapy sessions in Sydney and group workshops to help people understand how their experiences affect them today in their daily lives (see her website).
Couples and Marriage counselling Sydney
Couples counselling is a form of therapy that helps couples with relationship problems. Many people find it helpful to meet with a trained professional to learn how they can understand their partner better, improve communication and work on their relationship. Individuals may also benefit from couples’ counselling if they are experiencing stress or anxiety in their relationships. In such cases, addressing the underlying cause of these feelings through individual therapy can help resolve the problem before it hurts the couple’s relationship. I have many years of experience working with people who are struggling with various issues, including:
- Stress and anxiety in relationships (e.g., feeling misunderstood by your partner)
- Other mental health problems, such as depression or anger management issues
Conflict Resolution and Mediation Sydney
Conflict resolution is a process of managing and resolving disputes. Mediation is a form of conflict resolution in which an independent third party helps the parties reach an agreement on their own without going to court. It can be used in many situations, including family law and commercial disputes.
