Eastern Suburbs Counselling Services

Our Levels of Counselling 

We each carry a load, but in different ways. The condition of your life depends on how you react and take the challenges that life gives you. Here at Eastern Suburbs Counselling Services, our goal is to help everyone in Bondi Junction NSW go past their difficult situation.

Suzanne and Jill provide counselling and psychotherapy for individuals and couples who are struggling in various areas of their lives. It’s their ultimate goal to help everyone achieve their dream life.

Counselling for Individuals

Are you overwhelmed, confused or uncertain with the things going on in your life? Does the mere thought of identifying the cause of this feeling already pain you?

Going to a one-on-one session with your therapist gives you an opportunity to get things off your chest without being judged. Unloading yourself brings forth a sense of relief and open mindedness that enables you to develop a deeper connection with yourself.

The duration of your counselling and psychotherapy session will depend on what you wish to achieve from it. Two to 6 months of therapy will suffice for individuals who are working on a specific goal. But, if we're going to work on something more complex like different lifetime patterns, it's going to take us 6 to 12 months to achieve the best results.     

Benefits of Individual Counseling and Psychotherapy

• Develops self-awareness
• Connects you with your feelings
• Develops understanding of your feelings, reactions, needs and wants
• Improves your relationship with other people

Counselling for Relationships

Even the most loving couple had their share of trials and difficulties at some point in their life. The saying that finding the right person for you will result in a happy life is an age-old myth.

No two relationships are the same for the simple reason that each person is like no other. In our couples counselling sessions, we offer a nurturing environment where you and your partner or spouse can freely let out your feelings. 

In our first session, we prefer to see the both of you at the same time, as opposed to separately, so that we can address the root of your issue.

You might feel nervous at first as we ask you questions about your current situation, but know that everything you say will be kept confidential. Your answers will guide us as we develop an effective strategy for resolving any complication in your relationship.

Through our therapy sessions, we will be able to recognise how your attitude and behaviours are affecting your partner and your relationship as a whole. This will then help you see things in a different light and discover past events that led to your present situation. 

We provide different levels of counselling services. Our initial sessions and assessment are typically short in nature. After our first session, you can decide whether this type of therapy is right for you or not.

Should you decide to proceed with our counselling sessions, you must be able to set a regular schedule as this would be of utmost benefit to you.

Counselling for Pre-Marriage
