Counselling services are being provided as per normal, with the addition of guidelines to protect everyone's health and safety during this time. We are closely following and adhering to the latest advice being given by the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee. The AHPPC is the key decision-making body for health emergencies and is chaired by Australia's Chief Medical Officer.
Trying to cope alone we often end up going around in circles. We end up after weeks, months or years still feeling stuck. Going to a counsellor gives you a chance to talk in private to someone who will really listen and who has real understanding and skills in the areas of dealing with relationships, personality and life's difficulties.

Services
Counselling is conducted face-to-face however, sessions can be conducted via telephone or Skype for remote and overseas clients. I provide counselling for couples and individuals. You are welcome to refer friends or family to my practice too. Therapy for couples includes individuals counselling where it is indicated, you can request an individual session at any time during relationship sessions.
I'm feeling so frustrated and lonely because after all this time, I still can't find a partner. Individual counselling can assist you to become a more effective partner, resolve long standing patterns that have been holding you back. Find the intimacy that you have desired, avoid making the same mistakes, improve communication skills, cope better with conflict, help you to find relationships that are mutual and nurturing, let go of the past.
This document is designed to help you get the most benefit from our work together. The first section is on how to prepare for and maximize the value of our sessions. The second section summarises some brief concepts about relationships and productive couple's therapy. Your job is to create your own individual objectives for being in therapy.
All beginnings are wonderful we are told, and so it is with a new relationship. Couples in love spend huge amounts of time getting to know each other by sharing intimate knowledge, plans, dreams, and their past. They often feel that were somehow meant for each other and intensely connect around common values and meanings.
As a clinical counsellor I do believe that couples can recover from an affair if each person is willing to look honestly at themselves and acquire the skills they need to see themselves through this shattering crisis. Couples tend to define what constitutes an affair for themselves; sometimes that definition may differ even between the couple.

Happiness isn’t in new handbags…
“When I first met David it was in my mind to seek a healthy relationship with my partner, we talked through some difficult situations I was faced with in my personal life. I felt that he was supportive of the decisions I made but helped me see what impact they were having in my life and issues that I couldn’t see.
I was never happy with myself and the decisions I had made, I was sometimes ashamed of myself, I didn’t feel good enough at times and felt as though I had to prove myself, I was comparing myself to other women and I felt at fault for things
