Personal Profile :
There are times when you may need personal attention in a one-on-one setting as an individual, a couple, a family or as a group. The pace needs to be tailored to fit your unique needs. In counselling with Ron Cruickshank's Hobart and Online Counselling Service the focus is on allowing your inner wisdom to to enrich your personal growth and help you find resolution for your challenges in a way that is best for you.

Everyone has times when they feel anxious, fearful, tense, or angry and cannot seem to break loose from it. You may be experiencing an undesirable habit which seems to control you, or your mind may be returning again and again to review a scene which brings you upset or disturbs you. You may need insight on how you can create things differently.

In times like these it is helpful to be able to work with an experienced, qualified and accredited counsellor trained to help you find a way through the fog. Counselling provided by Ron Cruickshank's Hobart Counselling Service can help you gain insight and set the stage for you to take a look at unconscious thought clusters which may be behind the discomfort you are experiencing. After these thought clusters are brought fully into your conscious awareness, as your personal counsellor, I will help you get back in touch with your inner peace, joy, happiness, loving centre, and stay there!
