Psychotherapy (Children,  Adolescents, and Adults)

Synergy Psychological Services offer guidance and therapeutical services in order to assist clients in dealing with difficulties and in facilitating optimal adjustments, growth and maturity at any stage of life (children, adolescents and adults). Whilst approved methodologies are given priority, therapeutic techniques are adapted according to individual needs.

Marital / Couples Counselling

Maintaining marital satisfaction requires effort and commitment from both partners. Furthermore, the development of certain skills is important to ensure open and constructive communication. The emphasis of therapy is on helping couples to learn and apply new skills, focusing on the present and working toward the future.

School Readiness Assessment

A holistic development profile of the prospective learner is obtained through the examination of cognitive, emotional, behavioural and social development aspects. Information is gathered by means of clinical interviews, psychometric evaluation and collateral data.

Scholastic Problems Assessment

This assessment is utilised to identify learning and emotional problems, as well as social deficits and/or behavioural problems which may influence the learner's scholastic achievements. Various aspects that are essential to optimal scholastic performance are closely scrutinised. Information is gathered by means of clinical interviews, psychometric evaluation and collateral data.

Subject Choice Assessment

A dynamic decision-making approach is followed in order to guide learners in selecting appropriate subjects. This process includes the attainment of self-knowledge, examination of appropriate subject information, integration of information and decision making. Recommendations are based on the assessment of interests, aptitudes, study patterns and study attitudes.

Career Counselling Assessment

An integrated, dynamic approach to decision making is followed in order to guide learners through the process of selecting a career. The process is supported by background and vocational information, the development of self-knowledge, integration of information and decision making. Recommendations are based on the assessment of interests, aptitudes, personality traits and vocational maturity.

Group and Family Counselling

Group/family therapy moves individuals in creative and life-giving directions. It provides a safe setting that demonstrates to individuals that they are not alone and that there is hope for creating a different life. The major therapeutic goal of group/family therapy is to actively and directly challenge the group's/family's patterns of interaction, forcing members to look at their own behaviour.

Parental Guidance

The focus of parental guidance is not solely on the child's problem behaviour, but educates parents to adapt their behaviour. Parental guidance is a practical and interactive process that helps parents to effectively manage problems, as well as optimising the development of their child. This can be presented in group or individual settings.
