Individual Relationship Counselling – online & Springwood

If you’re single or your partner is not willing to come to counselling, you may get a lot out of individual relationship counselling. Individual counselling can help you if you are:

Are you worried about any of the issues below?

• Lonely and think you’ll never have a relationship
• Think there’s no one out there who really “gets” you
• Feel too shy or unattractive and think no one would be interested in you
• Hurt by relationships, so you avoid getting close to anyone
• Scared when you get close to someone, so you withdraw
• Hopeless that your partner has left you and don’t understand what you did wrong
• Fear you will never love again or that no one will ever love you in the same way as before
• Feel damaged by previous relationships and you’ve decided that relationships aren’t for you
• Frustrated that you keep repeating the same relationship mistakes, but you don’t know how to stop
• Struggle to understand sex, desire, eroticism
• Afraid of repeating the same relationship patterns your parents had
• Think you’re better off single than having the pain of a bad relationship again
• Questioning your sexual identity, orientation or preferences
• Want support around coming out, sexual and gender orientation, being kinky, poly/non-monogamous
• Wonder if you’re as happy as you could be, but unable to pinpoint an exact issue.

If so, please call me on (0421) 961 687 or contact me. You may prefer to book a Zoom online consultation if you can’t come to my Faulconbridge NSW practice.

Individual Relationship Counselling – online & Springwood

The focus of individual counselling is on specific concerns or issues we all encounter in the course of our life and which we may want to change.

I assist you to understand and deal with the feelings, thoughts and behaviours you may experience in response to these issues. I work with you to develop your own resources to guide your way of moving forward.

Through the processes of Feedback Informed Treatment (FIT) you are assisted to gain insight, to become aware of choices you did not initially recognise, to increase personal resilience and to find more effective ways of putting these insights into action.

Issues for which people have sought guidance include:

• Communication and intimacy in relationships
• Grief and loss
• Life transitions such as breaking up of a relationship, starting a relationship, wanting children (or not)
• Parenting
• Sexual preference, sexual orientation, sexual identity
• Overcoming sexual dysfunctions
• Difficulties caused by trauma and abuse
• Self esteem
• Anxiety and worry
• Depression
• How relationship issues cause work and career stress

Other more general and personal development issues include:

• Stress management using meditation and yoga techniques. Please see my “Self Care” page for further information
• Spirituality and Mindfulness, please click “Mindfulness Therapy”
• Inquiring into living a more meaningful existence with greater awareness. Refer to my “Relationship Coaching” page.
• Coaches, counsellors and therapists can also contact me for Professional supervision.
