I like to help people who are anxious to be helped. You nudge a ball in their direction and they see its value. Instantly they pick it up and run with it. I also enjoy people who are keen to try strategies that will work for them. A sharp imagination and a good sense of humour helps keep anxiety at bay and is a great assist in using hypnosis.

I get it. You're struggling with balancing work and life and trying to make sense of how to not be so frustrated and angry about the state of your world when it all seems too much. Then trying to explain it all to someone (perhaps your partner) when it gets too much but who can only offer a sympathetic nod or unhelpful advice such as 'just get over it' or 'you're being dramatic!' (which rarely helped in the history of advice!). The problem is not having space or the ability to try and untangle your thoughts amidst trying to just stay afloat in an ever-increasing complex world with competing demands on your attention and sanity.

If you are struggling with the pain of loss from the death of a loved one or another major loss, then you are likely to be feeling overwhelmed, isolated and anxious. Grief is a natural process we all encounter, but it isn't necessary to do it all alone. Struggling with daily life, having to continue to manage family, and work while feeling stressed and unable to cope with everything that has been happening over the last few years as well, just adds to all the grieving. The good news is that you are not alone. There are options for you to find your own pathway to self-healing through pain to peace

If you're considering therapy you're likely entertaining the possibility of change! Many clients have a sense of feeling 'stuck' - that what they've been doing isn't sustainable - old coping/survival strategies aren't workable and use up valuable energy, e.g.. avoidance of/distracting from/suppressing/whiteknuckling/ruminating on: thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, urges, images, memories. These maintain negative cycles, keep our emotional brain vigilant to 'threat' and our nervous system mobilised in a stress response. What if we could imagine a future we'd like to participate in, regardless of what's showing up in the present?

Successful relationships are the basis of our well-being and good mental health. When relationships are stressed and conflicts start to escalate, the pain can be overwhelming. You are so busy every day helping others that you may feel like you haven’t enough to give to anyone at the day’s end. When your focus at work is helping others, it can feel even more lonely and distressing to feel disconnected at home with your partner. If you're finding that the same problems, the same arguments, aches and disappointments are on repeat mode, it's time to reach out for help.

Marriage Counselling
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
