Services
It requires a commitment from both people, who are supported and encouraged to be open about their desires and needs, and where they want the relationship to go. This service provides a safe and supportive environment for women experiencing ante-natal or post-natal depression. Issues causing difficulties for a particular member or members are identified, and changes aimed at resolving the difficulties are explored.
The IMAGO "Getting the love you want" workshop is based on the set of tools created by Dr Harville and Dr Helen Lakelly Hunt, for transforming relationships. This therapy focuses on counselling to transform any conflict between couples into opportunities for healing and growth. This workshop provides couples the opportunity to immerse their relationship in an educational, relationship skilling event.
Sessions are private and confidential and provide an opportunity to work towards desired outcomes. All sessions are by appointment only and are available during the day and evening. With Individual counseling sessions, you can work with your therapist at a pace that works best for you and your journey.
A loss might include the death of a partner, a child or other family member. Loss might come with separation, divorce or the loss of day to day contact with children as they become independent. For some, loss of employment, income or title can also bring about this emotional response of grief. Dealing with the loss you are experiencing can be difficult to handle on your own.
Assist with exploring past relationships and to understand and deal with the challenges you face as a result of this reflection. Support you as you explore and begin to make choices and work towards changing unhelpful behaviours, for example through developing and practising effective communication and listening techniques.

Initially, my partner and I were fairly apprehensive about completing the recommended 'Get The Love You Want' seminar. We had never attended a workshop of this nature before but pushed ourselves to attend with the shared goal of bettering our relationship. We immediately felt welcomed by Francis who created a comfortable, calming and safe space for us to share. Francis' wealth of knowledge was astounding! Her delivery was empathetic, understanding and calculated. We learnt a considerable amount in what felt a short period of time. The information and processes Francis delivered were so unbelievably

I have been seeing Francis for over 4 months now and I am so grateful to have found her. I am a young mum of two kids, and my husband died of a heart attack this year. She has been helping me navigate through the most difficult and stressful time of my life. Being kind, understanding, caring, making suggestions and guidance towards the right choices as I try and figure out what's best for my family going forward.
I highly recommend her and have told so many people that I wouldn't be where I am in my grief journey if it wasn't for her help.
Thankyou Sincerely Andrea Clifton

Booked Francis Borg for couples counselling. Despite providing some useful information and tools, she was highly unethical. The first session went somewhat well, she seemed non judgemental and approachable. Francis also mentioned a couples workshop this session and how amazing it would be for us.
Due to running over time in the first session, we asked if we could book a little earlier so we could fit in with work commitments, we both have very stressful jobs that effect many other people and require our attention at specific times. She begrudgingly accepted a start time of 7am.

We saw Francis when our marriage was at our lowest. Looking back, she was an absolute God Sent Angel. We can truthfully say that Francis is a most empathetic councillor and really becomes invested in you as a person/couple and goes to great lengths in understanding the issues and to help. We highly recommend Francis if you are stuck and needing help moving forward!

My patner and I needed support in the way we communicted to each other and Francis has given us the opportunity to practice that in her sessions. We learnt how to listen to each other and to give the other a safe space to say what they are feeling with no criticism or judgement. We got to feel how loving it is to express appreciation to each other. We both have come away with a much better understanding of the value of taking the time to listen face to face, we are different in how we see life but that's ok and we revisited why we came together in the first instance. All this will not be forgotten

With the support of Francis Borg from Brisbane North Counselling I have achieved goals which I thought were impossible. I now have more confidence and my self esteem is at a better level. l have always felt comfortable talking to Francis about my issues and never felt judged for who I am. She has made a huge difference, and I am very happy I sought help.l have been with other counsellors in my life time, but no one has been able to identify my issues and help me through them like Francis. Thank you so much Francis.

My counselling experience with Francis opened my eyes. I now know how to recognise the forces that can pull a relationship apart, and Francis has shown me how to replace them with behaviours that are relationship strengthening. This is for everyone who wants to save a damaged relationship, and even for those who are simply looking to become better communicators within a working relationship.
