I am passionate helping people to authentically express themselves and to create the relationships they want. I will support you to heal and transform your relationship with yourself and the people closest to you. I work with individuals and couples in-person and online individual sessions. I am the co-founder of 'The Courageous Man' & I also specialise in working with men who struggle in their relationships. Visit www.helenbrereton.com.au for more information and to book a session with me.
I am a registered Psychotherapist, a certified Relationship & Couples Therapist, and a Group Facilitator. I bring 15 years of professional experience and a lifetime of personal experience. I 'walk the talk' and I'm committed to my own growth as a human, a woman, mother, partner, daughter, and friend.
My style is warm, gentle, down to earth, and direct. I see individuals, couples, or any two or more people in any kind of relationship. I also specialise in all-day intensives for couples and families. Please book on-line on my website. NB I am currently not available to speak to people before booking.
