SERVICES
SOUL CENTRED PSYCHOTHERAPY is based on what is meaningful to you and not on any preconceived notions about value, wealth and happiness.
The aims of this therapy is to find a grounded, joyful and meaningful relationship with the 'pushes and pulls' of life's demands.
Talking and listening, dreams, stories and myths, trance (hypnosis), energy work, active imagination, drawing, movement or whatever it may be that allows you to find and develop the personal resources to get the best out of life that you can.
Medibank Private rebates are available.
CLINICAL SUPERVISION
Regular supervision is an important resource to support the practitioner in their work with their clients.
The nature of working as a psychotherapist and counsellor can be relatively insular due to it's commitment to confidentiality. Supervision provides a venue for professionals maintain confidentially whist celebrating positive outcomes and discussing and attending to any difficulties, complexities or challenges within their practice.
Whilst attending to the needs of the practitioner, the weight of responsibility of supervision is always towards the best outcomes for the client.
Clinical supervision is a requirement of many professional associations in Australia including PACFA.
Supervision is usually tax deductible.

GROUPS
Dream Group
Please register your interest with Michelle for the next available group
"Dreams are neither deliberate nor arbitrary fabrications; they are natural phenomena which are nothing other than what they pretend to be. They do not deceive, they do not lie, they do not distort or disguise, but naively announce what they are and what they mean. They are irritating and misleading only because we do not understand them. They employ no artifices in order to conceal something, but inform us of their content as plainly as possible in their own way. We can also see what it is that makes them so strange and difficult: for we have learned from experience that they are invariably seeking to express something that the ego does not know and does not understand." Carl Jurg
These small groups are run in 5 week programmes.
A safe, confidential environment is provided to explore what your dreams mean for you. Please register your interest with Michelle for the next available group.

This question is asked by many women in our modern times. This group is open to all women. Those who have not had children and those who have; those who are questioning whether to or not; those who have decided and those who are ambivalent; and those on the threshold and those beyond.
Some outcomes have been:
Women who were ambivalent about being a mother or not became clearer about their choice and preference. Some women discovered that certain obstacles "magically" disappeared. Women experienced a greater depth of understanding about who they are to themselves, within relationships and within the world around them.
