WHAT CLIENTS SAY
“My husband and I flew from Perth to NSW to do a 2-day Relationship Intensive with Helen and Jon. I was 100% ready to end the marriage. This was our last-ditch effort to salvage our 14-year marriage. We needed someone to be direct with us, cut through the BS, and get the source of our issues, and that’s exactly what Helen and Jon did. It was a great experience in which we felt supported and came out of it with a “new” marriage and the skills to reconnect and rebuild our marriage. The space in which the intensives are held is beautiful. It was of benefit for us to be away from home and the daily stresses of life and work while doing this program. It was a lifesaving, and we will be forever grateful.”
“After some failed attempts at therapy, I was very fortunate to have found Helen. Only after a few sessions, Helen has been able to help me view things from an empowering perspective, gain clarity and help process my thoughts and feelings. I find Helen’s approach to be kind, caring, sometimes direct. It doesn’t feel clinical or judgemental like others have.”
“Jon has been instrumental in helping me achieve greater accountability and ownership over my actions and emotions. Through his compassionate and insightful approach, he has guided me in identifying and expressing the challenges that were holding me back in my daily life. Jon has provided active, practical solutions and encouraged longer-term strategies to improve my mood and overall well-being.His support has helped me reframe my week with purpose, reshape conversations to be more constructive, and foster stronger, more meaningful connections with the people around me. I am deeply grateful for his guidance and the positive impact he has had and continuesto have on my personal growth.”
“I was skeptical about going to therapy but I was in a dark place and I needed help. I’m glad I found Helen. She was easy to talk to and I would leave feeling lighter”
“Jon’s collaborative, practical, accountable, trustworthy, and non-transactional approach to therapy has exceeded everything I felt possible out of therapy. Jon’s ‘real life’ perspective and willingness to relate, creates an environment that allows me to share some of my deepest, darkest topics possible and unpack them. I foresee Jon being a consistent part of my life and future moving forward, and strongly recommend him and his services to anybody in need, regardless of the circumstances or history.”
“My experience doing couples therapy with Helen has been just excellent! Some words to describe Helen and her approach include: compassionate, dedicated, thoughtful, flexible, understanding and fair. She has helped my partner and I to improve our romantic relationship in ways that other therapists haven’t been able to. Thank you”
“My sessions with Jon have been invaluable in helping unpack my thoughts and feelings around things that were causing distress in my everyday life. I’ve found it extremely helpful to have someone impartial to speak to who has experience in matters of the heart and head, and have found Jon’s approach to be thoughtful and encouraging. Jon is the first counsellor I have seen and I feel quite fortunate to have found someone who is such a good fit for my mental health needs.”
“We were both amazed and impressed by how accurately Helen pinpointed what we needed to work on and could not stop rambling about how wonderfully understanding you were and how beneficial the session was. Already, things are much more stable and open than they were, and we’re so grateful to you. We’ll be recommending your services to anyone who asks!”
“I would highly recommend Helen for couple’s therapy. Her honest, open, and straightforward approach allowed us to be more open with each other. It wasn’t always easy, but she was warm, calm, and easy to talk to.”
“Over the three months I saw Helen my life and attitude towards life began to change. Not only was she a person I could open up to, she was also someone who could help me deal with my demons I had deep down within myself. She helped me let go a lot of traumas which I hadn’t looked at in a very long time. Helen helped me become a better partner and father. I am proud to say I am in a better place frame of mind than I have ever been. I continue to have sessions with Helen when I need them. She is a legend!”
“Helen has helped me deal with and understand my trauma, from childhood all the way to adulthood. She has been truly amazing with my journey in life. I would highly recommend her.”
“Jon’s compassionate and insightful approach has played a pivotal role in my journey towards overcoming addiction and regaining control of my life. His tailored support and practical strategies have not only helped me break unhealthy patterns but also guided me in discovering a renewed sense of meaning and purpose. Through Jon’s encouragement, I have developed healthier coping mechanisms, reshaped my daily routines, and found greater fulfillment in my relationships and personal goals. His holistic approach provides a safe and non-judgmental space to explore life’s challenges, empowering me with the confidence to move forward with clarity and resilience.
