If Cyclone Gabrielle or recent weather events have caused or worsened ongoing stress for you, we can offer counselling services free of charge. For some people, getting on with life can mean not realising that the after-effects of past weather events continue. If you can relate to anything in the list below, it’s possible this could be the case. We’d like to offer you the opportunity to explore this further and see if there is a link if you are unsure.
Our counsellors work with whānau and individuals in Napier, Hastings, Wairoa, and Central Hawke’s Bay.
Maybe you’re experiencing:
– Feelings of nervousness or worry
– Trouble sleeping or having disturbing dreams
– Increased frustration, anger, or sadness
– Increased arguments, or using substances or gambling to cope
– Financial concerns weighing you down
– A desire to be alone or avoiding other people
– A need to be with others constantly, avoiding being alone
– Feelings of hopelessness and tiredness
– Work stress
– Less patience, more irritability
– Worry about your children’s well-being
You may be experiencing different feelings, and they might come and go. These feelings are understandable given the stress of recent weather events and it is perfectly normal to think and feel this way.
If you, or someone you know, could do with some support – we’re here. Make contact through our counselling enquiry form and we’ll be in touch to match you with the counsellor best suited to your needs.
