Focus on Professional Environments Internationally relocating personnel  do not immediately have the infrastructure and resources they had before at their disposal, especially if there are language difficulties to begin with. Active Adaptation Counselling strives to bring perspective and awareness to the challenge of adapting in a new culture, helping  to avoid cultural misunderstandings, to safeguard a company's investment in its key people  - and to prevent 'early returns'.

Focus on Personal Difficulties We  have the resources within us to be able to cope with our lives. Sometimes - for whatever the reasons - we are unable  to tap into our strengths and resources. Working through our difficulties with qualified help in our own mother-tongue can be constructive in finding a way out of negative behaviour patterns towards more positive and functional  ones. The objective of personal counselling is to develop a therapeutic relationship - within which - the client’s cognitive, emotional and psychological experience of life’s demands becomes easier, so that more functional and positive behaviour patterns may be established.
