Alcohol Use Counselling in Mona Vale, NSW

You may show up to counselling immobilised & stuck, unable to move beyond entrenched unhealthy relational patterns or addictions deeply impacting your emotional, psychological and physical well-being. The repetition of these unsatisfactory behaviours, thoughts and feelings is what leads most clients through my door. MY TASK as your counsellor is to provide an environment that disrupts your current level of functioning & move you towards change and renewed progression. I observe your Discrepancies, Mixed Messages and Inner Conflicts within your Narrative and Behaviours, regarding the most personal dimensions of your LIFE Challenges.

Do you feel 'stuck' and overwhelmed, anxious or in emotional pain? Perhaps you know it is time to make changes, to create more harmony and connection in relationships, both with yourself and others? With care and empathy, and at your pace, we can explore your experiences, take apart the messy knot of problems, identify your strengths and options - and develop strategies to reach your goals. I also work with couples to repair ruptures and build loving, secure partnerships. When you feel ready to heal from pain, fear, shame, resentment, anger or grief that is getting in your way, and get 'unstuck', call me and we can get started.
