What is Brief Therapy?
Brief therapy is short term counselling or therapy. The aim is to identify specific concerns or problems and, with the therapist’s help, to find coping strategies or solutions to help you move forward in your life.
Brief therapy enables people to make changes if they wish to, or break long term patterns of behaviour that are not helpful in their life.
It has an overall aim of self-help, so that clients feel more able to take care of themselves emotionally and psychologically in the future.
Brief Therapy is private and confidential. As a counsellor and member of accredited professional associations, I am bound by strict codes of ethics.
I am a WorkCover Counselling Provider, able to work with clients under the Workers Compensation Scheme.
How can Brief Therapy help me?
When you come to see a counsellor/ therapist, you have a dedicated time and a place to come to that is entirely focused on you.
Some people find that talking to family and friends is helpful, but many people want to discuss certain things that they prefer not to disclose to people they know well.
My role is to help you find coping strategies or create an action plan or simply listen and give you the time to express and explore your views and thoughts.
Do counselling and therapy take years?
Many types of counselling and therapy (or psychotherapy) are longer-term processes and may last for months or even years.
Brief therapy may identify issues from your past that are affecting your current life or current situation, but does not explore these in greater depth.
Often clients find that being able to identify a cause or the start of a pattern of behaviour is all they need to know to enable them to move on in their present situation.
They may later choose to have longer term counselling or therapy to fully explore the past.
What are some advantages of Brief Therapy?
If you are ready to explore issues and address any problems, this type of therapy can lead to changes and increase understanding and self-awareness in a short time.
How many sessions are needed for it to be effective?
Most of my clients attend for between 4 and 6 sessions, usually one session a week or a fortnight. Brief therapy is a process, so it is important to attend regularly so that effective progress can be made.
Between sessions I ask my clients to attempt certain tasks which are aimed at trying out new ways of helping themselves.

What is Life Coaching?
There are many types of Coaching. Life Coaching is a short term, goal focused process, which helps a person to clarify their direction. This may be in a work or professional context or in their personal lives.
The coach supports and helps the client to develop options and make decisions. The client sets goals and the coach helps the client to achieve them.
When can coaching help me?
It can help at any crossroads in your life or any time when you feel the need to make some changes.
It might coincide with your children starting school, finishing school or moving away. A relationship may have ended and you want to review your personal or work options. You may have a professional opportunity or challenge that you are not quite sure how to manage.
Coaching is private and confidential. As a coach I can help you to plan a pathway and then you work on your goals or targets between sessions.
How many sessions does it take?
That varies from person to person and depends on the goals or focus of the coaching, but usually coaching happens for between 6 and 10 sessions. At the first session you will agree to a contract, which sets out the aims and goals of the sessions.
How is coaching different from counselling?
Coaching is focused on helping you to work towards specific goals. If you have emotional problems or if you are at a point of crisis then counselling may be more effective.
How can a coach help me?
When you come to see a coach you have a dedicated time, and a place to come to that is entirely focused on you.
I will help you to establish realistic goals and targets and work with you to devise plans to meet these goals.
You may have weekly, fortnightly or monthly sessions. At the end of each session you will agree on some tasks or other work to complete before the next session.
A coach and a client form a partnership and work together to help the client make positive forward moves in their life.
What happens in the sessions?
In coaching there are several ways of working.
You may complete questionnaires or charts or draw up plans.
You will discuss issues related to the area of the coaching.
At the start of each session you will review your progress and further develop your plans, thoughts and ideas.
Sometimes the coach acts as a mentor; at other times the coach will help you to define patterns that exist in your life that may need to change to help you become, or feel, more effective in specific areas.
