1:1 Counselling that is evidence based with treatment plans directed by identified goals. Goals and treatment plans will be discussed with clients/families following the first session.

This can involve all members of the family in individual sessions, all family members together sessions or some members together sessions. Following an initial session a plan with identified goals for the family will be developed in collaboration with the family unit.

1:1 or Family Counselling (not including the person using violence) to allow for the individual and/or family to rebuild and heal from the violence they have experienced.

I can also provide 1:1 counselling for people who use violence. This will be discussed on intake around what support you feel you need, safety and your goals for accessing counselling. I will not collude with violence but look forward to working with you to motivate change.

I have several year’s experience in this area and offer trauma informed counselling that can use different creative and traditional therapies to support the family unit in healing and growing together to develop a safe home again away from violence.

I can provide group programs as well as workshops with a focus on topics such as

-Emotional Regulations and Co Regulations for children and families

-Tree of life

-Anger

-Building Healthy Relationships/Friendships

-Drumbeat/Rhythm2Recovery programs

If you have a topic in mind for your group/organisations, please reach out and we can discuss further

This will include a needs assessment, be drive by your goals and could include being connected with appropriate services to support you, advocacy to other agencies such as GPs, Specialist services, Education Providers etc
