Bad things happen to the best of us. The resulting trauma impacts our lives in ways we could never anticipate. Relationships suffer as a result. Symptoms of a deeper issue affect how we relate with our children, our partners, our parents and ourselves. We are passionate about helping people achieve healthy, safe and joyous relationships.
We cannot dismiss the pain, but we can certainly walk through it together with confidence and with courage. When you visit - this is your space; a nurturing, gentle, non-judgemental and confidential space. Talk and be heard. Explore how past trauma, grief or loss may have affected your ability to communicate, connect and move forward with your loved ones.

Services
Trauma can occur after exposure to natural disasters, family violence, childhood abuse, or the death of someone close. Sometimes past trauma reawakens when relationships are stressed. Healing these emotional wounds takes time, strength and guidance. If you have experienced trauma, you know how difficult it is for loved ones to understand what you are going through.
Are you standing in the cold over a dwindling fire because you can't agree on the firewood? In other words, are you fighting without ever getting to a resolution? Has unresolved trauma, grief or loss caused you to drift apart? You could be finding it hard to communicate, resolve differences, agree on important decisions, or you can't figure out how to parent together.
Scores of families have one thing in common: there are many different views to the same problem. In counselling everyone gets to have their say - no matter how young or how old. All members of the family group have a chance to talk, listen and negotiate solutions. If you have experienced trauma and it is affecting family relationships, counselling helps find a path towards the ones you love.
