Individual counselling for relationship issues
Sometimes you find yourself unhappy in a relationship, but your partner isn’t ready for or interested in therapy. This might leave you feeling disappointed or even hopeless. The truth of the matter is that while you can’t change your partner, you can benefit from receiving your support and from strengthening your own relationship skills.
Anne can provide a listening ear and practical strategies that promote opening the door to different conversations and ways of relating at home. Gaining greater understanding about ourselves and relationships is never wasted. It provides knowledge and skills that can support all our relationships, not just our marriage or life partner relationship.

Telehealth
Even before Covid hit, studies on the effectiveness of counselling online or by phone had been conducted… and the good news is that telehealth counselling is just as effective as face-to-face therapy. In fact, there are some significant benefits of online and phone therapy. Not least is ease of access, particularly for those in remote or rural settings. Many clients also reported that benefits from the session transferred more easily to their usual environment when the session had been conducted virtually in that environment. From a practical point of view, many clients also appreciate saving travel time. An additional benefit of telehealth through covid has been continuity of therapy through lockdowns, isolations/quarantine and mild illness.
At Well Of Life, individual sessions can be conducted either by secure video platform or phone. Couple sessions are conducted by video only. Good internet connection, along with suitable camera and microphone are required.
Professionals - Work with Anne
As a health professional supporting patients in the perinatal period you want the very best for the families you support. Whether you’re an obstetrician, GP, midwife, maternal and child health nurse or allied health professional you want more than a healthy pregnancy, safe delivery or a great start to a new life. You want a baby to belong in a stable, loving home; one that supports growth and development into a happy and secure childhood, adolescence and adulthood.
The reality is that transition to parenthood is tough. John Gottman found that 60% of parents in the first year say they don’t feel as close as they did prior to baby’s arrival. For parents to learn evidence-based, practical skills for strengthening their relationship is a huge gift. John Gottman says that the greatest gift children can have is a strong relationship between their parents.
The Bringing Baby Home workshop supports couples, as they transition to parenthood, to strengthen their own relationship skills, building their capacity to be the kind of parents they really want to be.
Bringing Baby Home is a fun, engaging, evidence-based education program to support parents at this critical stage of life.
Anne is also accepting referrals for expectant, new, and early years parents for individual and couple therapy to support emotional and relational wellbeing.
Anne would be very happy to discuss how she can work with you to offer your patients and their families the very best of care.
