Chris Redemski

Let me help you learn how to choose to live with no regret, learn to laugh while you practice wellness, and find out how to do what you truly love.

I will listen hard with a soft heart. I have lived life in all its tough stuff and will help you with your problems without judging you. Whether it’s dealing with past pain to stop it contaminating the present, making a tough choice, or committing to a new goal, you’ll find me caring and sensitive of your needs.

I provide counselling for adult men and women for a wide range of issues including:

• Fear
• Trauma/PTSD
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Grief
• Change

Sometimes just getting out of bed to face the day can be hard. I can help you stop the cycle and find your way back to feeling great.

 

Change Successfully

Don’t know how to get where you are aiming for?
Don’t know where you want to aim?

People can be engaged with change for many reasons. Sometimes we are seeking a change and want support to actually get there. Sometimes it’s being forced upon us, like a job loss or a partner leaving and involves emotional turmoil. Sometimes it creeps up on us, like the change from one stage of life to the next and we realise we are not making the adjustment very effectively.

Whatever is bringing you to change I can help you through all the stages of getting to where you want to be. I have a lot of experience helping people to manage the emotions change brings, as well as defining their goals and working out the steps they need to take to get there. When you need encouragement and support to keep going or take the next step, I’ll be right there with you. And if you trip up I’ll help you pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and teach you the motivation skills to move forward again.

Trauma and PTSD

Trauma is any experience that was overwhelming or threatening that caused you pain or fear to the point that you felt helpless and hopeless.

Losing someone very close to, you emotional assault, physical assault, abandonment when you were a child, being bullied; and the list goes on. Natural disasters such as earthquakes, fires, war, any accident that causes physical harm also causes trauma.

When these events occur our energy system gets frozen in the body at the cellular level which then causes pain (negative energy like depression, fear, numbness, detachment, not able to form any healthy relationships). These negative blockages affect all areas of our lives without us realising it. The nervous system is affected (sympathetic and parasympathetic systems in our body kick in when we suffer emotional stress which causes us pain, this repeats itself over our lifetime). I am able to navigate you through the healing journey.

Live Without Fear

Are you afraid of life?
Afraid of the unknown?
Afraid of the future?
Afraid of people?

If your fear is out of proportion, or even out of control, I can help you to look at what is causing it, teach you strategies to control it, develop an understanding of it, and start to live free of it. It can revolutionise your life to be free of fear. You will begin to experience inner security, have time to put energies into positive things, be able to handle challenges far greater than those you can manage now, and take effective steps to improve your life.

Counselling for Men

As a male counsellor I understand some of the struggles that come with being a man in todays world.

In my experience men really want to believe they can fix themselves. But they can’t, hiding behind a glass of beer in the pub is not going to cut the mustard. They just keep feeling alone. Whether it’s a mate/friend/guide or counsellor, if you want to change you need someone to see what is behind your mask. So that is the most critical thing I aim to give the men who come to see me, a place where you can feel safe enough to be real, so that we can work on sorting out your problems together.

About Chris

I bring a lot of life experience to my work as a counsellor. Before changing careers I had successfully operated my own company installing large air-conditioning systems in major building projects, and very early in life worked in the printing and trucking industries. This background of strong work ethic means I’m able to understand the pressures in todays society, in particular men – and makes me readily available to relate to people of all ages, cultures and backgrounds.

It was through experiencing hardships, and finding myself unable to enjoy everyday life, that I  sought help. By attending counselling sessions, I learned to understand what was causing my dysfunctions and navigate through my traumas to find a happier way of being in the world. Reflecting on this time as being deeply affirming and life changing, I was inspired study to become a professional counsellor, in order to help others who are experiencing difficulties.
