Counselling
/ Intervention
We provide
a non-clinical aspect of counselling to our clients
who are in need. Herein we deliver psychosocial
therapy without any medical intervention. Our
techniques and strategies are systems-based which
emphasizes on cognitive-behavioural and relationship-based
intervention approaches. The intention is to empower
the clients and alleviate their concerns; thereby
bringing out their self confidence and esteem,
while maintaining confidentiality. Yet again this
area possesses a wide range of issues that need
to be addressed such as the following:

Pre-marital
Counselling
Marriage is a sacred bonding between two
individuals. It is essential to understand this partnership
between couples that will drive towards a healthy relationship.
Counsellors at MFS are driven to educate the couples
with various intervention strategies spiritually, socially
and emotionally. Therefore we encourage all individuals
who are soon to be getting married to seek pre-marital
counselling.
“O mankind be conscious of your duty to your
Lord, Who created you from a single soul, created of
like nature, his mate, and from the two, created and
spread many men and women”. (Al-Quran 4:1) |

Marriage
Counselling
A sound family life is a base of a Healthy
Functional Society. At some point in time, marriages
may face issues and concerns, therefore it is important
to understand the dynamics that cause problems. As every
partner in a business has to give in their share to
make the business run successfully; so as in the case
of a marriage, it is essential that both, the husband
and wife put in their efforts to resolve conflicts.
Sometimes conflict resolution can accomplish with the
help of a mediator such as professional counsellors
and religious scholars. At MFS we respect our clients’
values and beliefs while working individually or jointly
with couples; also provide knowledge and education that
lead towards a strong marriage. |

Comprehensive
Family Support
Counselling for family Support can be
a very elaborate approach. Intervention skills and strategies
can be applied in regards to Parent-Teen, Youth, Single
parent and gerontological issues-such as dealing with
the elderly. Our therapeutic aspect is multi-disciplinary;
wherein our sessions provide one on one assessment and
analysis. We also consider every intergenerational phase
of family counselling, jointly. |

 |
Anger Management
Anger is a completely normal, human emotion.
However, we as counsellors at MFS believe that anger
can be suppressed, and then converted or redirected
into a constructive behaviour. Our intervention strategies
focus on relaxation, cognitive restructuring, better
communications techniques and behavioural management.
In some cases where applicable we may refer to assertive
training programs and psychological counsellors. |
|
Stress/Time Management
Stress is a very common phenomenon developing
among families and individuals of all ages. Studies
have indicated that stress can be a major cause of depression
and burn out. It is essential for every individual to
recognize the causative factors or stressors related
to stress. Talking about these issues or taking a break
from one’s chaotic agenda can be a very effective
stimulus. Stress and time are co-related and can be
coped with proficient scheduling. Counsellors at MFS
focus on the positive and negative aspect of this subject
matter while applying proper intervention skills to
assist our clients. |

Anxiety
and depression Counselling
As psychosocial counsellors we identify
the symptoms of anxiety and depression in our clients.
We deliver non medical therapies and apply effective
counselling skills as interventions. Assessment is carried
out where necessary and referrals are made accordingly. |

Settlement Counselling
We provide wide range of counselling services
to our immigrant community in order to make the process
of settlement easier. One of the major consequences
and challenges our Muslim community face is the risk
of culture shock. We at MFS help our clients holistically
to overcome these barriers. There are numerous services
that we inform clients regarding job search and career
advisements. For further details please check the family
support services that we provide mainly immigration
