Counselling

INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING
We sometimes seek out counselling when we are troubled or faced with difficult decisions. We might also seek help in growing and developing ourselves. Whatever path is taken, it is a unique journey – your own journey – but sometimes an ally helps.
Building and maintaining emotional and mental wellbeing is, not unlike physical fitness, something we all need to work at. It might be challenging, revealing, comforting, strengthening and maybe even life changing. Deep listening, respect, compassion, supportive suggestions for a way through, and a safe place to land – these all help.
The Selfworks methods we offer that may support Medicare rebates include:
- Psychologically Focused Counselling
- Person-Centred Counselling
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
- Emotionally Focused Therapy
- Psychotherapy (Jungian, object relations)
- Compassion Therapy
- Mindfulness & Meditation
- Therapeutic Yoga & Pilates
- Play & Sensorial Therapy
Our lives are shaped by the relationships we have with others.
They can bring great joy, but also hurt and suffering. Love, safety, security, warmth and intimacy can give way to frustration, disconnection, ambivalence, pain, anger and despair when things go amiss. Unattended, intimacy can disappear.
We encourage you to invest in your relationships like you would in your own physical, mental or emotional health. We advocate early action to retain and regain trust in each other, and to rebuild your relationship – hopefully even better and stronger than before.
We also understand that relationships end. In those instances, we help you uncouple graciously and, if relevant, provide support and guidance around post-separation parenting arrangements.
REUNIFICATION THERAPY
Reunification therapy is a structured and supportive process designed to help families restore trust and rebuild relationships after conflict or separation. Our experienced therapists work with parents and children to address misunderstandings, improve communication, and foster a healthy emotional connection.
Through tailored strategies, we focus on the unique needs of each family, ensuring a safe and respectful environment where everyone feels heard. Whether navigating the aftermath of separation or repairing fractured bonds, our goal is to guide families toward healing and lasting connection.
COURT ORDERED COUNSELLING
Court-ordered counselling provides families with professional support to address challenges and improve relationships as part of legal proceedings. This type of counselling is designed to meet court requirements while focusing on the emotional wellbeing and best interests of all involved.
We provide post separation court ordered family therapy and individual therapy that is designed to fit the unique needs of families, parents, and children. This can include issues such as parenting after separation, setting boundaries, developing communication strategies and protocols, supporting couples to uncouple and parent their children in a child focused manner as well as support to repair and rebuild parent/child relationships.
