Life Balance Counselling was formed in 2009 in response to a consistent and significant change in the New Zealand family structure. Solo parenting, blended and step families are on the rise, as is parenting in semi-absentia and over long distances. The societal pressures of changing relationships, abuse via cyber and text bullying, sex, drugs, eating disorders and general angst seem to be on the rise for our children and teens. It can be easy to fall into a rut of despair.My name is Eleni Zachary and I am a registered member of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors. I work with individuals, couples and families to help them make balanced decisions, strengthen their relationships by improving communication, and make changes that will bring greater harmony, peace and happiness into their lives. Together, we look at your ways of thinking and behaving, and how these make you feel, and you decide if they are really helpful to you. If they are not, we work together to change them.People often feel there is a stigma attached to asking for help. Consider your call to me to be a healthy step toward building a more comfortable path for your life.Your issues may not change. But the way you interpret, cope and react CAN change.Visit www.lifebalancecounselling.co.nz for more information about my practice.I look forward to receiving your enquiry.
