New Path-Waves gives each client individualized, special attention and helps each person in uncovering his or her potential. Usually this potential becomes stunted or suppressed by the misuse of drugs or alcohol.

The treatment plan begins by identifying the underlying issues of distress that move a person to chemicals and or other destructive behaviours. The plan then combines life-changing experiences that can revive and awaken the person’s sense of integrity, sense of self-worth, sense of purpose and also enhance his or her capacity for self-empowerment.

Counselling usually involves 2 people, the counsellor and the client. Sometimes it can involve the counsellor and several clients…group therapy. It takes place in a safe and private environment, where the client can take time out to examine, reflect and understand his or her difficulties and problems. The relationship is based on equality and respect.

The aim of individual counselling is to help improve the every day way of being of the client.
A major focus of counselling involves helping the client to identify and work through his or her problems and find effective coping strategies so he or she may reach more of their potential and restore a sense of well-being in their lives.

This can be achieved by helping the client to find solutions, make decisions, and to develop
effective ways to deal with the stresses of everyday life.

Counselling is also used to explore the ‘deep rooted’, ‘unresolved’ problems that can block the client’s personal power and capacity for self-regulation.

A HOLISTIC approach is adopted that acknowledges Spirit, Mind and Body components in the recovery and self-healing process.
