Sydney Couple and Family Specialists

Individual Counselling

Here is how Individual Counselling can help you:

• We can assist you to highlight the key source of what is causing your unhappiness – so you feel you at least understand and are aware of it.


• Then we can provide you with the strategies to deal with it. Realistic, practical strategies that offer you some control.


• You’ll receive support to manage relationships – whether they’re with a partner or spouse, family, friends or colleagues – so they are healthier and good for you.


• We will help you navigate important life transition phases – such as having children, your kids leaving home, menopause, retirement and more.

Adolescent Counselling

As counsellors for teens and their parents, we have supported and transformed teenagers for distraught parents as we challenge resistant adolescents. It can be done – no matter how far ‘gone’ they may seem.

Through teen and parent counselling, we can help you:

• Understand this developmental stage that your adolescent is going through and why your child is acting like they are.


• Re-establish your power as a parent and give you some strategies and tools that really work.


• Help you explore what their behaviour is telling you, so you know best how to respond.

Consultancy

The techniques used in Family and Couples therapy is also relevant to people who work closely together. More and more organisations are recognising that using a consultant Change Agent can improve productivity and assist with staff issues. The consultant can help resolve issues through effective communication training, mediation, conflict resolution and critical incident de-briefing.

All coaching and consultant training is delivered by Jacqueline McDiarmid. Jacqueline worked in management for several years before becoming a Psychotherapist. That experience means she has an ‘insiders’ knowledge of office environments, plus specific, professional problem-solving skills.
