Counselling

The most effective Counselling happens when you find the right Counsellor. It is a therapeutic relationship that helps you navigate all other relationships. You and I can traverse the hard stuff of life together. You do not have to do it all alone.

Life Coaching

Solution focussed, goal oriented, practical support to get moving and achieve your dreams. This might be a physical project or an emotional goal. This process is both structured and creative. Depending on your goals, coaching may include values clarification, goal setting, identifying barriers, building confidence, exploring decision-making, developing new habits and creating an achievable action plan.

Life coaching is not about telling you what you should do. It is about helping you discover what is right for you and supporting you to take the next step with greater clarity and confidence.

A life coaching session is a collaborative conversation within a supporting, practical space, focused on your goals and the life you want to create. Together, we can explore what what you really want, may be holding you back, recognise your strengths and values, challenge unhelpful patterns and develop realistic steps towards meaningful change. 
Initial Session Fee: $260 (90min)
Follow up Fee: $220 (60mins)

Perinatal Home Visits

Getting to an appointment with a new baby can feel overwhelming. As a mother, this is a time for being flexible and understanding, as everything changes, and then changes again, day after day. My offering of flexibility and understanding is this: A 6 session care plan of fortnightly home visits for mothers who are within 12 months after giving birth. Mothers of babes who are no longer with us are equally cared for.
Home Visits: $240 (90min)
6 Visit Care Plan

My approach 

Different Counsellors approach the same problem in very different ways. Let me tell you how I work. Or call me for more information. 

Solution Focussed

I do not believe that you need to talk to me about everything. I do not believe that you need to talk to me forever. I believe in targeting the most meaningful areas of challenge and change. I believe that you have the innate strength to build both skills and resilience so that you can be the expert and the captain of your own decisions. I believe in giving you a soft place to land, a safe space to feel, a warm place to be and be seen. 

Process Oriented

I believe that growth and change are possible through processing and experiencing, not just talking. I believe that your nervous system holds the key that can unlock the blockages of the past. I use psycho therapeutic techniques that take the pressure of you having to cognitively strategise and analyse and theorise. I will help you feel your way through the impossible moments and survive them, as you come to witness your own wisdom, truth and light.
