Menage Consulting

Psychological Counselling

Are you feeling distressed, anxious or traumatised by historical or recent experiences?

I can help you alleviate, transcend or transform these symptoms, and reclaim psycho-social and emotional well-being. Psychological counselling can be helpful for a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems, and other mental health concerns.

Good therapy relies upon us forming sufficient mutual trust and compassion to discuss and interpret personal matters.

I look forward to hearing your story and helping you revise retellings of it that firm your resolve to follow your preferred path towards life with less distress, or completely free of it.

Neurotherapy 

Neuroscientists acknowledge the brain is hardwired to adjust and adapt (Van der Kolk, 2014, van der Kolk et al., 2016). Neurofeedback provides biofeedback to the brain about its own functioning in the format of a computer game, which permits training that optimises brain function to happen. This in turn permits training protocols to be custom designed to address the patient’s symptoms and Electroencephalogram (EEG) results.

In the same way that training the body in a sport enhances performance, so does training the brain to enhance function, thus reducing or eradicating symptoms of many mental health disorders. Sufficient training sessions are required to establish viable neural pathways capable of sustaining long-term benefits to the patient. 

Family Therapy/Dispute Resolution 

I am a Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner accredited with the Attorney General’s Department. I am qualified to provide dispute resolution services in relation to both property and parenting matters.

I bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to my mediation practice, drawing on over three decades experience safely resolving high level conflict in families with children at risk. And assisting them to resolve their disputes in ways that respect their children’s rights to safely maintain meaningful relationships with each parent.

Coming to an agreement with your former partner through dispute resolution enables you to make your own decisions about arrangements for post separation parenting and division of your property.

In Australia, it is now a legal requirement to make a serious attempt to come to an agreement prior to initiating Family Court proceedings. Apart from being legally required, dispute resolution processes have the following advantages:

• – prompt conflict resolution
• – more cost effective
• – parties make their own decisions
• – less stress on parties and their children
• – improves the parties’ post-separation relationship
