Relationship Counselling - appointments now available Australia wide. Does your relationship need a make-over or renovating? Do you want to create healthier communication, intimacy & closeness. Perhaps you’re grieving the loss of a once happy relationship & wondering how to get 'back on track'. My specialised training in relationship counselling & has helped many couples find love again. I use globally accepted evidence-based methods within a deeply caring & calm space. It's challenging making that first step, but relationship distress is very common & help within your reach. I look forward to hearing from you.
In person & Telehealth counselling for couples & individuals - also offering an approved pre-marital counselling program. Helping you develop healthy communication, 'actively listen' to each other & make 'repair' after an argument. Together we identify your specific relationship strengths & challenges, to formulate achievable goals.
No human relation gives one possession in another - every two souls are absolutely different. In friendship or in love, the two side by side raise hands together to find what one cannot reach alone. Kahlil Gibran
