Services

Counselling will work to the extent that you are prepared to show up and be yourself and then make some changes.

What you need from a relationship therapist or counselling service?
You need someone who is specifically trained in the areas you need help with. Check that your therapist is an expert and not a generalist, then make sure you trust them and that you have a sense of affinity with them. Often you can request a 5-10 minute phone conversation with a counsellor before seeing them to help you work out if they will be a fit.

Steven’s individual sessions start at $225 for anhour and for couples counselling, his sessions start at $350 for an hour 20mins.

His longer sessions, such as the Relationship rescue sessions and the intensive relationship counselling sessions cost between $550 for 2 hours 20mins and $1850 for 8 hours.

That largely depends on you, however Steven has a high success rate when it comes to helping couples move out of distress and back into connection.

He specialises in working with couples who have had affairs, where there is a serious or catastrophic trust breach.  He has a track record of close to 80% where his clients, move from crisis to safety and reconnection. The process involves work on your part too. You will have new behaviours and methods of communication to practice between sessions and you will need to be honest with yourself and Steven, for him to really help you move forward.

Absolutely, unequivocally yes!

There are perhaps few things in life that are simultaneously as wonderful and terrifying as the impending arrival of a child.
Children come in many ways, an unexpected surprise, the result of years of waiting, IVF, adoption.
And every child is different and the bonds we form (or fail to form) will impact us all in different ways.

Unfortunately a common casualty of the parenting relationship is the couples relationship bond.  Sleep deprivation, differing parenting styles, financial challenges and lifestyle changes can all conspire to erode the love and intimacy connection between couples.  These factors conspire to lead to a divorce spike around the time children are 3-5 years of age.

However despite the uncertainty there are now literally decades of good quality research about how to  connect well with baby but more importantly to maintain and strengthen the parenting and couple connection.  In this area it is truly possible to have your cake and eat it.

This is an area close to the heart of most of our team – we love babies.

This is an extremely common situation as it reflects the very dynamic in most relationships – that there is one person who is a ‘pursuer’ and one that is an ‘avoider’. Don’t hear that as criticism or a problem, but  if you are the one seeking counselling services, try making a direct request to your partner to attend for your sake, e.g. “I know you are not keen to attend counselling, or don’t think we need counselling. I would really appreciate it if you would attend one session with me for my sake.”

If there is a particular problem you are seeking counselling for, and your partner is resistant to counselling, ask them, “How do you think we could resolve this?”A Then, agree to try their plan and ask them to support your plan of counselling as well.

What is unlikely to work is becoming angry or upset and threatening them, saying, “You need to get help!” Try to remember that your partner for the most part wants you to be happy is not refusing to spite or hurt you.

Not ususally as Steven is an couples expert. If you need help finding other counselling services, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
