Keith Abrahams - Positive Ways

About me

Executive and Career stress are my fortes. My mission is resolving trauma and I support organisations that work with the full spectrum of mental and emotional health challenges.
My clients remark, ‘Keith just gets me’, complimenting my warmth and gentleness, yet also my varied life experiences, breadth of expertise and an understanding of how tough life can sometimes be.

The most common reasons clients seek help from me are related to stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and work-related issues. This might be related financial stress, promotional issues or challenging life, business and career choices. Often these challenges have their roots in issue, loss, self-esteem and traumatic events.
I support clients in overcoming challenging stages in their lives. This might be related to stress, anxiety, anger, addictive behaviour, obsessions and phobias or feelings of depression.

Often, clients arrive at such challenging places, perhaps due to loss of a job, business, relationship or because of the passing of someone close. Grieving needs to be understood and acknowledged, as it does for those who have suffered a trauma, which needs to be calmed as well.

Clients who consult me value my combination of senior executive & business experience and psychological insight. They come from different backgrounds, with the majority being self-referred executives, professionals, managers and business owners. Many others are parents and caring partners, who value my empathetic life experiences and want to lead effective, calm lives. Not only can I help them resolve that stress, but I teach the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction approach, enabling them to maintain their emotional balance and good mental health into the future.

Which is one of the main things that I do; as a Human Givens therapist and CBT Coach, I help clients make good sense of what is going on, explaining why it has such an impact and agreeing with them ways that they can resolve their unhappiness and move forward. This empowers them.

Often, employers engage me to support work-based counselling and stress reduction programs. My clients have included both large, national and multinational organisations as well as smaller organisations too.

Whilst most clients, value this solution focused approach, which normally takes 5-6 sessions, others want to deepen their healing further and may seek to explore their spiritual needs with me.

As part of my commitment to community, I support a social enterprise that makes affordable counselling available to those who are struggling emotionally and financially. Email me if you know someone who might benefit.
