Your growth and change (honour how you have already adjusted),

Your new relationship (it doesn’t need to be like it was).

Janet - Relationship Counsellor

Relationship Counsellor Sunshine Coast

New View Counselling offers Relationship Counselling to all sorts of couples on the Sunshine Coast. Counselling is an opportunity to enrich and strengthen relationships, especially when times get tough.

Relationship Counselling is a chance to improve understanding of other perspectives and to feel you are being heard. It can be a place for expressing concerns with the aim of reaching a positive resolution. Through Relationship Counselling, you can hope that you and your partner can strengthen your relationship together.

There are many reasons that your relationship might be under pressure. It may be because of; the stresses in your family, your role as a parent, balancing work, relationships and lifestyle. Perhaps you are a FIFO worker? It might just all feel like too much and you need help to find your purpose together again.

A Relationship Counsellor such as myself, can help you if you are tired of the same arguments and feeling stuck and wishing life was happier.

If you feel personally rejected by your teenagers and feel like you have little influence on them, if you worry that kids at school have more of an impact on their opinions than you do, Relationship Counselling can help. With your parenting partner we will achieve solidarity and support for each other as you apply new approaches and strategy.

  • How do you manage the coming home, going away, here but not here relationship dynamics? Have you got kids that need managing, nurturing and loving and you find it hard to do on your own and then harder to do from the same page when your partner returns home? Does it break your heart that you are the soccer mum and the soccer dad all rolled into one, and there is always video evidence of the dance recital but very few shared mum and dad moments to stand and cheer. Who works harder, the parent at home or the parent away or is there even a worthy way to measure? I get you, I am a FIFO partner!

    How to Make it Work

    Balancing time alone and time together

    Communication, Communication, Communication

    Planning ahead (holidays, socialising, leave)

    Understanding each other’s world

    Regulating built up emotion

  • It can be hard to keep connected when the kids are testing your boundaries - and we consequently often forget to honour our own and remain united in love and compassion with our adult parenting partner. I offer parenting support as a specialty area because it took me too long to realise where to find the right support for my parenting journey. You do not need to do this alone.

    How to Improve Parenting Partnerships

    Do you experience the below challenges or do your kids experience them and it triggers you? By increasing your parenting confidence, you will feel more in control, emotionally balanced and have a more positive personal well-being reducing the impacts of:

    Parenting roles and expectations

    Parenting from different perspectives

    Anxiety about your child’s choices

    Improving Positive Personal Wellbeing

    It is a scary time when you doubt yourself enough to stay strong. You, or your teenager may be experiencing and showing signs of:

    Anxiety & Depression

    Self-harm & suicide

    Bullying & Aggressive behavior

    Drug & Alcohol Use

    Low self-esteem & motivation

    Self-acceptance & identity

    Grief & Loss

    Together we can explore current and future concerns about your kids and plan strategies to keep the family strong and safe while maintaining bonds.

  • Relationships are tough! We grow and change with each challenge but how do we get through some of the big ones, especially when we are still carrying the old ones? With new conflict resolution strategies, the next challenges will not be as hard, I promise.

    New View is a space for you and your partner to work together to increase intimacy, explore communication, and revive the spark you had when you were first attracted.

    Together we can increase empowerment and insight to enhance partnerships with important others (this may include extended family, teachers and community).

    Communication

    Attachment styles

    Loss of trust and inability to forgive

    Guilt and shame

    Redundancy recovery

    Conflict resolution

    Feeling alone and confused

    Reacting emotionally and loss of control

    Despair and feeling lost
