Growth & Connection

Individual Counselling

At Positive Interactions Counselling, I offer individual counselling services to help you navigate life's challenges and improve your emotional well-being. My person-centred approach focuses on supporting your individual growth and self-awareness.

Fees: $120 / 1 hour session

Couples Counselling

My couples counselling sessions aim to encourage positive communication, emotional understanding, and relationship harmony. I am dedicated to helping couples strengthen their emotional connection, recognise each others needs and attachment style, heal previous wounds, and resolve conflicts in a supportive environment.

Fees: $150 / 1 hour session (initial session 2 hours)

Men's Emotional & Relationship Skills

Men's emotional skills training addresses the challenges many men face in identifying, processing, and expressing their emotions. I recognise that men lack the emotional support networks that exist in society for women. This service provides a safe supportive space to help men navigate their emotional landscape, encouraging healthier emotional expression and improved relationships.

Fees: $120 / 1 hour session

Improve Your Wellbeing

Anxiety

Anxiety can feel overwhelming, affecting various aspects of your life. Counselling offers a supportive space where you can explore the root causes of your anxiety, understand your triggers, and develop effective coping strategies. Through therapy, you’ll learn to manage your worries, view situations from a new perspective, and build resilience against stress. My goal is to empower you to regain control, enhance your well-being, and navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence. Seeking help is a courageous step toward a more peaceful and fulfilling life.

Self-Esteem

Low self-esteem can cast a shadow over various aspects of your life, from personal relationships to professional endeavours. Counselling provides a compassionate and understanding environment where you can delve into the root causes of your self-perception. Together, we’ll work to challenge negative thought patterns and build a more positive self-image. Through our sessions, you’ll gain tools to boost your confidence, assertiveness, and overall sense of self-worth. Embracing therapy is a proactive step toward valuing yourself more fully and leading a more empowered, satisfying life. Everyone deserves to feel confident and worthy.

Depression

Depression can feel like a heavy cloud overshadowing your daily life, making even simple tasks seem daunting. Counselling offers a safe and supportive space to explore these feelings. Together, we’ll work to identify the underlying causes of your depression and develop personalised strategies to help you manage and alleviate symptoms. Through our sessions, you’ll gain valuable tools to navigate life’s challenges, rediscover joy in activities you once loved, and rebuild a sense of purpose and fulfilment. Seeking help is a courageous step toward healing.

Trauma

Experiencing trauma can deeply affect your emotional and physical well-being, leading to feelings of fear, anxiety, and a sense of being overwhelmed. Counselling provides a safe and supportive space to process these difficult experiences. Through therapy, you can develop healthy coping strategies, reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and regain a sense of control over your life. By working with a compassionate therapist, you can begin to heal, rebuild your confidence, and move forward with a renewed sense of hope and resilience.

Stress

Stress is a common part of life, but when it becomes overwhelming, it can affect your health and happiness. Counselling provides a safe and supportive space to talk about what’s on your mind, helping you understand the sources of your stress and develop effective coping strategies. By working together, we can explore practical tools to manage stress, improve your mood, and enhance your overall well-being. Taking the step to seek help is a positive move towards a healthier, more balanced life.
