Couple Counselling

Couple Counselling is an area I am particularly interested in, and passionate about. Together, we can work to confirm, strengthen or restore your relationship through focusing on;

  • Building intimacy, friendship and trust;

  • Learning to communicate better;

  • Fostering mutual respect;

  • Building deeper connections;

  • Managing conflict.

I am skilled in a range of therapeutic approaches designed to improve your relationship. When working with couples, I draw from Emotionally focused therapy (EFT), Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy (PACT).

Reconnect Relationship Retreats

I offer an engaging 2-day Couple Retreat several times a year at Mandoon Estate, in conjunction with Joondalup Counselling.

Whether you want to jump start your relationship, or you are in the midst of a crisis, Reconnect Relationship Retreats deliver you months of therapy in just a couple of days. We offer an engaging two day retreat that gets to the heart of what makes relationships strong, meaningful and connected.

Our evidence-based approach to relationships will provide clear strategies to improve and strengthen your relationships. The two days are filled with practical, simple tools and exercises to confirm, strengthen and restore your love.

This is NOT group therapy. In order to make this cost effective, there are several couples that attend the Retreat, however there is no group sharing at all. You work only with your partner and the therapists.

Please visit Reconnect Relationship Retreats for further information.

Individual Counselling

I have been providing individual counselling to adults for over 20 years. My areas of interest and expertise include: 

When working with individuals I utilise a number of different approaches, including, but not limited to; Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Emotionally Focused therapy (EFT), Mindfulness and Mindfulness Based Cognitive therapy (MBCT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). The choice of therapy depends on the individual and their goals for therapy.

Phone or Video sessions

I am able to provide sessions, by Zoom conferencing, or via telephone, on request.

Training

I have conducted training within hospital, corporate, school and community settings in the areas of managing depression and anxiety, stress management, suicide prevention and self harm, sexual abuse and assault. Training programmes are specifically developed for your organisation and needs, please contact me directly if you have a training need you believe I can assist with.
