My SERVICES
Are you struggling to resolve personal or professional problems on your own?
Do you feel that friends or family don’t understand how you are feeling?
Psychology
I conduct an ethical practice which respects both my clients and their needs for privacy and confidentiality, giving due consideration to legal requirements and issues of safety for the client and relevant others. I prefer to adopt a gentle, facilitative role that encourages clients to deal with their fears and any other issues in an empowered manner.
Emotional Therapy
I can assist clients with whatever issues they wish to explore. I utilise a variety of therapies including CBT, ACT, TRTP, brief solution-focussed therapy, art therapy, visualization, hypnosis, meditation, mindfulness that assist people to deepen their warm-up to change and feel differently both physically and emotionally. Encouraging people to stay grounded in the present enables them to effect whatever change is needed and increase their spontaneity.
Self Development
This is offered on an individual and group level by the practice. There is the opportunity to grow on all levels and live a more satisfying and productive life. Take your life into your own hands and create what you only dream of today.
Adolescents therapy
I have been working with adolescents since I began my employment with Education Queensland over 30 years ago, and it has continued into my private practice. Adolescents are an amazing bunch with whom I have spent much time. They can be brash, shy or belligerent- but always worth listening to; for they are our future. I love my work with adolescents and bring humour, respect and enjoyment to my therapeutic practice with them.
Relationships
We are always in relationship with other people no matter how isolated we feel. Nowhere are our communication skills, empathy and tolerance more tested than in intimate relationships. I enjoy facilitating change with couples because the work is challenging and rewarding. I offer the opportunity to open up to richer, more rewarding interactions focussing on honing clients’ intuition and use of creativity and innovation in how they relate to their partners.
Children and their behaviour
We want only the best for our children and to help them to deal with life’s challenges with confidence and balance. Like adults, children can get stuck and struggle with difficulties that arise. With humour, persistence and gentle care, I assist children to move beyond their personality and behavioural struggles and build their life toolkits- creating more options and providing techniques and strategies to competently handle anything that arises. More than anything children need to learn how to trust themselves.
Counselling
There can be times in our lives when we struggle to cope with difficult events and the associated emotions. I can assist with this by facilitating you through the rough periods and providing you with appropriate tools to manage life in a more focussed and rational manner. Life can be a bed of fragrant roses but there will always be thorns. This is not a negative thing. Just a challenge to be met with resourcefulness and self-belief.
Parenting
We treasure our children and want them to be happy, healthy and to positively esteem themselves. I offer help to parents to manage more effectively how they parent their children and give them stability, opportunities to express themselves and set clear, loving boundaries so that our little ones feel safe and nurtured.
If you never thought counselling will help you, think again. Nearly everyone faces some sort of stress and can benefit from therapy.
