Family Counselling Services in Melbourne

The pain of disconnection or conflict in a family can have wide-ranging impacts on emotional well-being and the capacity to build healthier relationships. I offer counselling support for individuals and family members who wish to heal the pain of conflict or emotional disconnection in their family.

Further information is available on this website about my relationship counselling services for couples and families. I welcome the opportunity to talk with you about your current concerns, and I encourage you to contact me with any questions you may have about my practice.

Extended weekend appointments - Giving the extra time your relationship deserves

In addition to daytime and evening availability, I also offer extended weekend appointments for families.  In turn, this provides family members the opportunity to offer to each other an unhurried, committed time together to work through a problem or worry with the support and safety of a skilled facilitator.

Families often find these extended sessions provide the needed starting point for safer, less reactive conversations about challenging, vulnerable issues that have felt “too big” to safely contain or address in a briefer session - or on their own.   The extended time creates an opportunity to experience “surviving” a challenging conversation while remaining present and connected to one’s own, and each other’s, feelings and needs. For some families, this experience has been transformative.
