Individual & Relationship Therapy
We specialise in a range of issues coming from a range of perspectives- individual, relationship and couple and family therapy.
Relationship therapy is not exclusively counselling for couples but can involve working with couples (opposite and same sex) as well as other relationships for example, friends, mother/father and child, siblings etc.
We offer pre-marriage counselling and relationship building and maintenance programs.
Some common issues that can be assisted by engaging in relationship therapy include:
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is for people who identify that they need assistance in coping with a change or life transitions or to gain an unbiased, non-judgemental and professional perspective from a professional therapist.
Individual therapy could be used to gain empowerment for work, personal, social, religious, philosophical or familiar issues.
Addictions
We are skilled in working with individuals, couples and families whose relationships are impacted by Gambling, Drug, Alcohol, Pornography or Sex addictions.
Family Therapy
Families are complex and dynamic systems. We enjoy working with families that are struggling with communication, power and control, separation, trauma, grief and/or loss. We will look at your family of origin to assist you to identify and develop loving, equal and healthy family relationships.

You may seek benefit from being able to discuss issues relating to how to go about initiating a relationship, dating and maintaining a relationship.
In love or just loving
Maybe your problems are about the intensity of the relationship. Changes to the relationship dynamic of intensity often occurs in most relationships over time. You can learn to rediscover and learn about yourself and your partner so that the relationship does not seem to continually going around in circles or stagnate.
Change in intimacy and sex life issues
This can occur at anytime during the course of a relationship for many reasons including, but not limited to - libido, infidelity, connection between partners, no time etc. However, therapy may assist you both to learn how to overcome these.
First or subsequent baby (including ante or post natal depression)
Research indicates that the most dangerous time for a relationship is around the time of a first baby. And that even if the relationship doesn't end for another 20 years, its troubles can usually be traced back to the months surrounding the first child's birth.
A mother in particular goes through changes which mean that her energies begin to focus around her child with less emphasis on her partner as it had been prior to the baby. Learn how to cope with this life transition more effectively and balance a new child and intimate relationship.
