I am 100% committed to empowering you and helping you to overcome any challenges that are currently preventing you from achieving success in your personal or professional life.

RELATIONSHIPS and COUPLES COUNSELLING

Relationship and couples counselling is a process of developing more fulfilling relationships in which people work together to improve their communication skills, understand the nature of each other and come to terms with their personal differences. The couples I work with learn about how they can strengthen and support each other so that they can have a healthier relationship.

Career and Training Counseling

CAREER and TRANSITIONAL COUNSELLING

Career and transition coaching can be beneficial for those looking to change careers or those who are leaving one job to start another. If you are unsure of where to start or what type of work you want to do, this service can help you decide what you should be doing next.

“Kathy helped me to evaluate what I wasn’t happy with and to set some goals. But what was most helpful was that Kathy was able to help me take stock of what was going well, and finding the positives helped me to realise that the tasks ahead weren’t impossible. I would recommend her help to anyone looking to take stock of where they are heading, and what they would love to achieve in the future.”

“When I first contacted Kathy, my life was in crisis. I had several health issues. I was stuck, confused and couldn’t see a way forward. Kathy is warm and insightful, and I have found her to be an outstanding coach. Our coaching sessions are relaxed, extremely informative and productive. Kathy challenges me when needed and she is always supportive. 

She is my “secret weapon” to becoming a more confident, resilient and all-round happier person with a zest for life and open to future possibilities. I am continuing to move forward with a positivity and confidence. 

My relationships with my husband and others have improved more than I could have imagined. If I feel things start to slip, Kathy’s coaching and guidance reminds me of the values that are the basis for living a great life.”

“When I came to see Kathy, I was lost and overwhelmed with everything that was happening in my life. I had no direction and felt stuck in my relationships and job. After a few sessions with Kathy, I had a more positive outlook on life…even from the first session. We talked about goals and strategies which really helped me. I was able to focus on improving myself rather than overthinking my problems. I can’t believe the progress I’ve made in such a short time.”

Trent

I’m a single Mum and I was having difficulties with my 14-year-old daughter. Life was very distressing for me. I had 6 sessions with Kathy, and I learned some strategies that have helped my relationship with my daughter. The strategies were very successful, and our talks were friendly. I always felt very comfortable talking to Kathy. I am very happy with the outcome.

“When we asked Kathy to be our counsellor, we were having difficulties in our relationship. Things were not looking good for us. With help from Kathy, we were able to work through our issues and find harmony and fun…just like it used to be. Now we are engaged and very happy.”

“If you are having difficulties in your relationship with your partner, I thoroughly recommend having a chat with Kathy.”

Trent

“I am a young woman who has just finished grade 12. I have been quite lost with what I should do with my life and which pathway to take. Whether it was full time work, university or even a gap year. Kathy helped me understand the core values I have in myself, possible career path and successful future. Through a session with Kathy I gained clarity on what my real passions are and the pathways I can take to achieving my success. She even brought up suggestions that I could do and ways I could get there, that I had not even thought of before the session. In our short amount of time together, she allowed me to open more doors and ideas about where my future may take me which allowed me to gain a confidence in myself that I never knew I had. I really valued my time with Kathy as it was empowering, revealing and gave me a good concise view on my future.”
