1. Mind/Body Psychotherapy - Hakomi
Are you seeking:
- relief from persistent painful emotions and behaviours
- a deeper understanding of yourself and others
- greater freedom to choose what you do
- greater pleasure in everyday living and
- richer, happier relationships.
“It’s great to have a therapist! Someone who is on your team and has no agenda.”
Hakomi mind/body therapy is a respectful and sensitive approach.
Using the mind/body process you access and work with a special state of consciousness called “mindfulness”. With mindfulness you reach beneath your everyday habitual responses and experience the freedom to choose fulfilling, life-affirming paths.
The Hakomi Method will help you with:
stress and anxiety - go beyond the symptoms, and release the deep and unconscious causes
crisis work - with respectful sensitive support you discover what you really need and find greater freedom to respond
fears and phobias - find freedom by uncovering the hidden source of your fears
self-worth - discover the difference between your story and a state of openness that sees freshly and finds fulfilment
anger - experience ways to hold anger and reflect rather than being blindly driven and overwhelmed
couples and interpersonal issues - Discover how your deep vulnerabilities, fears and reactions, get in the way of connection. Get in touch with your needs and unique resources
trauma - trauma is not a life sentence. Overwhelming experiences can be transformed
depression - rediscover the aliveness and goodness of your own heart; bring a sense of fullness and choice back into your life
spirituality - open to a larger sense of being

3. Dispute Mediation
Carol is a Family Dispute Resolution Mediator accredited and listed with the NSW Attorney-General.
She has over 20 years' experience in a wide range of conflict situations - these include work place, local government development applications, non-government organisations and public meetings.
Mediation that is based on the Hakomi approach works in a safe and sensitive way, to uncover hidden systems and behaviours that keep a conflict going. Once the systems are brought to light, effective problem solving and development of practical outcomes can take place.
Carol also offers optional coaching for the participants at the conclusion of the mediation. This provides support for participants to develop the personal resources to uphold the agreements.
