Couple therapy, individual therapy, supervision and couples workshops for Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, and the Hunter.
couple therapy
I’m trained as an Imago Couple Therapist. In the sessions you will learn the skills to hear and understand each other more deeply, interrupting the reactive patterns of communication that lead to pain and disconnection. This leads to a stronger connection as curiosity and empathy grow, creating the opportunity for healing, growth and greater joy in the relationship.
Some of the issues couples bring to therapy are:
Communication difficulties
Arguments becoming more frequent
Re-building trust after an affair
Mental health impacting the relationship
Emotional and/or physical intimacy has become difficult
Conflict over parenting
Blended family challenges
Life balance difficulties when caring for children
Navigating relationship transitions eg, becoming parents and retiring
Individual therapy
In individual therapy I seek to understand each client’s unique context and work collaboratively towards the goals that are important to them. Supporting their journey towards healing and growth. I’m trained in several modalities including: Trauma Informed Treatment (parts work), Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping), Imago Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness.
Some of the challenges I support people with are:
Navigating separation
Relationship difficulties
Trauma and PTSD
Anxiety and Depression
People living with or impacted by Domestic Violence
Parenting
Blended Family Issues
Anger Management
