"The Quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives"

Esther Perel

Reconnect Counselling is a counselling service for individuals, couples, families and businesses in the Byron Bay area including Bangalow, Ballina, Lennox Head and Lismore in the Northern Rivers area of New South Wales. Reconnect counselling  also works with people face to face from the Gold Coast and west of Casino. Services are also provided for people outside the Byron Bay area online or by telephone. I offer a counselling service to many clients from the Lismore office who live in locations such as Casino and the western district of Lismore.

Reconnect Counselling also offers intensive communication and counselling  retreats. Another service offered is a pre-marriage counselling course, specifically tailored to your individual needs.

Some of the issues that counselling can help with include:

  • Continuous arguments and conflict
  • Differences in libido that are causing conflict
  • Infidelity
  • Lack of emotional and physical connection
  • Not making the time to spend together, resulting in the feeling that you have grown apart
  • Family issues such as blended families (see my blog on this topic). Extended family influence and cultural differences.
  • Differences in approaches to bringing up children
  • Resentment, this is one of the main issues that can destroy sex and physical connection in a relationship.
  • Grief and loss
  • Clarification on career choice
  • Why you may be choosing partners who are not a right fit for you
  • Self worth and self esteem Issues

Grief Counselling

Are you mourning the loss of a loved one? Has your relationship ended and you are struggling with the loss? Grief counselling can help support you through this difficult time. A lot of work in counselling is to do with loss, not just death, loss of a job, mobility home etc. Many people can resolve some of these issues by talking to friends or family, however there is a tendency for people to expect the person grieving it to be "over it" by a certain time Talking about the loss   (especially the death of a loved one can help) can help the person move through the grief process. So if you find yourself "stuck" in your loss I can help and support you in the healing and finally integrating the loss into your life not merely "getting over it".
