Deon Binneman Psychological Counsellor

Deon Binneman Psychological Counsellor Deon offers counselling services for relationships, trauma and substance abuse Deon is a psychological counsellor in private practice in Greyton.

He often employs the principles of what is known as Narrative Therapy. Narrative therapy seeks to be a respectful, non-blaming approach to counselling that does not impose the therapist’s value system on the client. It treats people as the experts in their own lives and believes that others have many skills, competencies, beliefs, values, commitments and abilities that will assist them to change t

heir relationship with problems in their lives. He consults with survivors (individuals and couples) of process and critical incident trauma. Process trauma includes:
• Divorce
• Troubled relationships
• Illness
• Bereavement
• Retrenchment
Critical incident trauma (sudden and unexpected trauma) includes:
• Assault
• Hijacking
• Robberies
• R**e

Deon also has a special interest in counselling for substance use and dependence. He has experience of working with adults, young adults and youth that experience problems with alcohol or other substance dependency.

Sometimes I hear people say, "We don't need to see a professional. We can sort this out ourselves."
I agree.
Ultimately, the two people in the relationship are the ones who will need to make the changes that matter. I also believe that we are the experts on ourselves and our own relationships.
However, stepping back from your relationship and looking at it together with an experienced, impartial person can make a remarkable difference. It allows you to see your relationship from a fresh perspective—to recognise not only the challenges that may be holding you back, but also the strengths you can build on.
Often, the answers are already there. Sometimes it simply helps to have someone guide the conversation and help you see what has been difficult to notice from the inside.
Deon Binneman's counselling practice is based in Sedgefield, and online counselling is also available.

Relationships can be challenging when partners have different expectations. Here are a few examples of this mismatch and it's effects:

Roles and Responsibilities: There may be conflict over household chores, childcare, or financial contributions if one partner expects traditional gender roles while the other prefers equality.

Future Plans: Disagreements over marriage, children, career ambitions, or where to live can cause tension in a relationship.

Communication Styles: There can be a wide variation of expectations regarding how often to communicate, how to resolve conflicts, and how to express affection.

Personal Growth: If both partners do not support or understand each other's expectations for personal growth, self-improvement, or pursuing passions outside the relationship, they may clash.

Communication, mutual respect, and the willingness to compromise are essential to resolving these differences. Counselling or therapy can also assist couples in navigating these challenges and finding common ground. Deon Binneman specialises in relationships and is available online.

I often hear and see the destructive effects of high-conflict separations and divorces. If a separation has been decided, it is of the utmost importance for couples to take an active role in shaping the future relationship they want after the divorce. The chances of a hostile relationship are very high if nothing is done. Everybody has heard a story about "my ex".
There will always be a relationship. Is a highly conflictual post-separation relationship the only possibility, or is there a possibility that it could be a less negatively charged emotional relationship that would be much better for everyone, especially the children?
In the separation phase, what should be avoided, and what should be done in order to ensure a better post-separation relationship? Your partner and you may find Deon Binneman's professional marriage counsellor services helpful during and after the separation process. It is for the children's sake and your own as well that you do not remain angry friends. He is also available online. You can find more information here bit.ly/3pCtpWT

Die een wat teleurgestel het,vra graag dat hy/sy vergewe moet word. Die ander persoon vind dit dikwels baie, baie moeilik om te vergewe. Hoe kan hy/sy dit vergewe en vergeet en wat word onder die term ‘vergifnis’ verstaan?

Eerstens, vergewe beteken nie om te vergeet nie, maar eerder om te verander hoe dit onthou word. Tweedens, die proses van vergifnis is nie iets wat in een oomblik gebeur nie. Dit neem tyd en daar is sekere goed wat moet gebeur voordat daar vergifnis kan wees en vir vertroue om weer te herstel.

Derdens beteken vergifnis ook nie ‘n mens kan nooit weer daaroor praat nie! As daar ‘n behoefte is om daaroor te praat, beteken dit nie dat jy nog nie vergewe het nie en ou koeie uit die sloot wil opgrawe nie. Nee, al het jy vergewe, kan jy nog steeds emosioneel daardeur geraak word. Daar sal wel op ‘n ander manier daaroor gepraat moet word. Vierdens beteken vergifnis nie dat dit nie so erg was nie.

Vyfdens beteken vergifnis nie alles is nou weer reg, die pyn is verwyder en die vertroue is herstel nie. Nee, vergifnis is ‘n proses. Indien jy jouself in ‘n moeilike situasie bevind waar jy teleurgestel is, oorweeg dit om met ‘n berader te gesels. Deon Binneman spesialiseer in verhoudings. Sien bit.ly/3pCtpWT om meer uit te vind. Hy is ook aanlyn beskikbaar. Jy kan ook 021-975 9936 vir 'n afspraak skakel.

Mense het ‘n diepgewortelde behoefte aan ‘n konneksie met ander mense. Wanneer die verbintenis aan iemand anders verbreek word deur dood, egskeiding of teleurstelling, dan kan hierdie verlies ‘n groot impak op iemand se lewe hê. Behalwe vir die emosionele impak, kan dit ook meebring dat mense hulle sosiaal onttrek, dit kan selfs fisieke gesondheid beïnvloed. Die verlies bring dikwels ‘n diepe verlange en ‘n gevoel van onwerklikheid, asof dit nie waar kan wees nie. Die verwerking van verlies is ‘n natuurlike en onvermydelike proses en almal sal meer as een keer in hulle lewe daardeur moet gaan.

Die rouproses kan moeilik en pynlik vir die persoon wees maar ook vir die verhoudings waarin mense verkeer. Terwyl hartseer en die daaglikse lewe met die verlies geneig is om mettertyd te verbeter, kan ernstige of langdurige hartseer baat vind by berading of terapie.

Indien jy besig is om verlies te verwerk, mag dit die moeite werd wees om met ‘n professionele persoon, soos Deon Binneman, daaroor te praat. Deon is ook aanlyn beskikbaar. Sien bit.ly/3pCtpWT vir meer inligting.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me. Do you agree? Can you recall a time when words were hurled at you that you will never forget? It usually happens during angry arguments, when one party feels hurt and retaliates by hurting the other party even more. Whenever there is uncontrolled anger in a relationship, it is a sign that there is a communication problem. Bad communication destroys relationships over time. This results in people drifting apart and experiencing more disconnection.

When people communicate effectively, a good relationship is built and a feeling of connection is established. If you want to improve your relationship, find someone who can help you communicate more effectively. Deon Binneman offers professional relationship counselling, Go to bit.ly/3pCtpWT to find out more. He is also available for online consultations.

When you are infatuated with someone, you tend to see their positive qualities most of the time. In this relationship, there is a strong attraction and a you see the possibility of long-term happiness. This, however, will not last forever. It doesn't matter how well a relationship starts, you'll eventually see both sides of the person, good and bad.
Where do we go from here? The same will happen if you just want a new (better) relationship. This natural experience of human emotions will not change with a new relationship. Having to live with differences (within reason) is what we have to do. We can live with the differences meaningfully if we know how. That is why relationships can be challenging.
If you are struggling with your relationship, it might be helpful to talk to a professional about it. You can make an appointment by phone (021-975 9936) or use the website, bit.ly/3pCtpWT
