In Person Counselling in Cardiff, NSW
Does this sound familiar? You have struggled with mental health and self-worth issues your whole life. You are a people pleaser & perfectionist. You missed the memo on boundaries. You have been told you are "too sensitive, too much!" You have done ALL of the things! The psychologist, mental health care plan, the healers, juice cleanses, reiki, acupuncture, fasting, read every self-help book ever written. You are a seeker, a searcher, a believer. And although it all helped, you have been constantly let down & like a failure as none of it gave you the RELIEF you long for. You crave peace, calm and meaning. I know. I have been you.

I work with Couples and Individuals. Some of the common issues that couples bring to counselling are; communication issues, conflict, a break down in trust, affairs, mental health concerns that are impacting the relationship, lack of emotional and or physical intimacy, conflict and stress over parenting, grief, the impact of past traumas, transitioning into retirement and new relationships. The Imago Relationship Model facilitates a new way of communication that allows couples to understand themselves and their partners more deeply and bring greater safety, connection, healing, growth and joy.

Most issues that people experience have their origins in childhood when developmental needs were not met. Most parents mean well and do their best but because our culture is generally ignorant about the early needs of children the child has to learn how to adapt. For example a parent because of their upbringing may be easily angered. One way is for the child to move towards the parent by always trying to please the parent to ward off an angry episode. That is the behavior and the belief is "I have to be good or mummy will not love me." This establishes a mode that may not be helpful in later life in intimate relationships.

With a focus on exploring how early childhood experiences and unmet needs impact the way we function in our relationships, my passion is in working with people who are seeking to break dysfunctional family cycles and make changes that align with their values. Within the person-centered approach, I think it is essential to acknowledge the impact that societal stressors and generational trauma have on the individual. My aim is to help clients navigate the challenges of maintaining emotional wellbeing within a culture that often promotes isolation, burnout and disconnection from the self.
