Depression and Other Mood Disorders
Although it is part of the human experience to sometimes feel sad or low occasionally, when these feelings prevail for long periods of time it can become hard to cope and perform everyday tasks.
Anxiety and Panic Attacks
Anxiety is the most common mental health condition in Australia with, approximately, one in four people experiencing anxiety during their lifetime.
Relationships
Conflict in any type of relationship is inevitable, yet it is the main issue underlying relationship dissatisfaction.

Motivation, Habits, Self Esteem and Confidence Coaching
Healthy self-esteem is often characterised by feeling confident, able to ask for what you need, able to speak when you need to and your view of self not being heavily impacted by negative experiences, that is, the ability to ‘bounce back’.
Anger Management
Do you often feel angry but unsure why? Have you been described as having a ‘short temper’? Anger is one of our natural emotions but it can become destructive when we become burdened by experiencing anger or frustration as a default response and too often.
Trauma
Around 12% of Australians experience trauma during their life. After a life-threatening or violent event, severe psychological distress can persist.
Grief and Loss
Grief and loss can be experienced through a range of situations, for example, divorce, career redundancies, miscarriage or infertility, significant disability, moving cities and loss of friendship.
Pain and Illness
When suffering with chronic pain and illness, patients have often undergone a myriad of tests and treatments which do not improve the pain, this can be frustrating and confusing.

It has been considered the ‘gold standard’ talking therapy, endorse strongly by Organisations including World Health Organisation and National Institute of Mental Health.
