    Counselling Directory
    Posted: 9/18/2010 10:02:03 AM

    One of the hardest parts of dealing with problems at work, and the stress and anxiety caused by them, is coming forward and accepting that it has happened and you need help and support to recover.. Many may be in denial, and instead try to bury their problems instead of having to deal with the resulting problems.

    Counselling can be an excellent tool to help people overcome distressing issues that may have arisen in the workplace. In a safe, confidential environment, away from prying eyes and ears and free of judgment, you are able to discuss and work through issues, dealing with the effects the problems have had, and how to deal with them in the future and move on.

    But once sometime decides to undertake counseling there are numerous issues to consider – practical and otherwise. What about, for example, location? Despite counsellors’ assured complete confidentiality people may prefer to see a counsellor that is perhaps outside their local area, but still in surroundings they are comfortable in.

    Counselling can take many different approaches – from person-based to psychoanalytic, and it’s important to choose a counsellor with an approach the person will be comfortable with and respond to well.

    Counselling Directory was set up to provide a simple, easy, and most importantly un-daunting way of connecting people that need help with the people that provide it. A comprehensive searching tool, the site allows postcode, town and country searches, and produces a list of counsellors registered in this area. Each counsellor has a profile, listing a bit about themselves, their approaches, what areas they deal with, and all their training, qualification and experience and fees, all in one simple search.

    The site has also become a huge information bank – there are articles written by the counsellors, as well as comprehensive information on all kinds of distress – from depression to eating disorders to abuse, to help people identify their problems and become informed, not scared.

    Setting Yourself Up for Success in the Interview Process
    Posted: 8/31/2004 1:53:44 PM

    html:

    Most people are familiar with the traditional interviewing advice and tips -

    make eye contact, arrive on time, give a firm handshake, etc. These cardinal

    rules of interviewing proliferate job search information. While this advice is

    crucial, it is important to ask, is it really enough to get you a job in the

    current climate? Does arriving 10 minutes early really make you feel as though

    you have aced the interview? Does following these rules really set you apart

    from the rest of the candidates? Do they lower your overall anxiety and make you feel calm and confident? No, no, and no? Then, what are you to do?

    Effective interviewing results not only from heeding the traditional advice, but also from taking control of the situation. You can do this by

    Interviewing from Multiple Perspectives.

    5 Steps to Getting the Raise the You Deserve - A Guide for Women
    Posted: 8/31/2004 1:45:48 PM

    Women often feel their work should stand for itself and therefore tend to wait for someone else to tell them when (and if) they deserve increased rewards or recognition, such as a raise. Rewards and recognition are a crucial part of your job and play a significant role in your confidence and sense of control over your career. Unfortunately, you relinquish a lot of control by waiting for others to bestow favorable things upon you. As with many things in life, you will not know what is possible unless you ask. Of course, asking for a raise is a very anxiety producing and scary proposition for most. However, with the proper preparation and perspective, you just may be surprised at how successful you are. Berkman Fives has developed an effective and actionable approach to this process. This approach not only takes holistic perspective on the process, but also helps prepares you for effective negotiation.
