And what I've noticed is how many people struggle with their relationships - that could be the relationship with their partner, their child, their parents, their co-workers, their mates or the biggest and most important relationship of them all...
The great thing is, with years of experience and a real desire to empower others (some use me as a life coach), my expertise on the mind and human behaviour allows me to help others get real, positive and life-changing results using techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused strategies and a Humanistic and Person-Centred approach.

I specialise in Male and couple counselling.
I developed Core Value Therapy Approach which looks at unlocking values in men's lives. We might not even know our values yet when they are breached, we breach them back. Values can be Respect, Truth, and Recognition. These values control we think, behave and feel.

You've spent years being told you were too much, or not enough. Too scattered, too emotional, too forgetful- or holding everything together on the outside while quietly drowning inside. ADHD in women looks nothing like the textbook version. It hides behind perfectionism and people-pleasing. It shows up as overwhelm, emotional dysregulation, and a bone-deep exhaustion no amount of sleep fixes. And for too long, it's been missed- in classrooms, GP offices, and therapy rooms.

I specialise in helping couples, families and family members move on from chronic stress to sustainable resilience.
I have been working in the fields of family therapy and stress-related disorders and conditions for more than twenty-two years, since being an army chaplain both in the South African and Australian Defence Forces during times of military conflict (I served for extensive periods on the front lines of battle and experienced the horrors of traumatic incidents, death, loss, brokenness, anger and excessive aggression behind retaliation on the front line). Touched by the distress of those around me, I realised that we have to be proactive and therefore intentionally develop sustainable resilience before facing extreme distress!

Paulette says, “Whether it’s for self-definition, self-discovery, making sense of the chaos in your life, for emotional release, to help define a renewed sense of direction, to deal with loss and grief, or to be a nicer person for your partner, family or workmates to be around, there are thousands of reasons why people want to get more out of life.
I am passionate about neuroscience that enables us to become aware of the neurophysiological circuits that drive us mostly unbeknowns to us at a conscious level. Psychoeducation is paramount to gain resilience and self-regulation. Those who become well-equipped to change their unwanted, undesirable behaviours are people who understand how to use their superpowers for quality-of-life instead of mismanaging them in ways that can have devastating effects on their wellbeing and life trajectory. Together we can work on reacquainting you with your former self or reinventing a new You poised to navigate life with a greater ease.

FAQ - About Couples Therapy
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
