When counselling couples, our primary goal is to help guide them towards an invigorated partnership by key processes and strategies of approach aimed at reigniting their love and commitment through working cooperatively on barriers to their intimacy.

Key issues addressed along the way may include, for example; effective conflict resolution, creating and respecting boundaries, and communication skills. In cases where relationship separation and/or divorce is the preferred outcome, we assist couples to come to as healthy a resolution as possible.

Families

Key family issues that he regularly assists with include: discipline & behavioural issues, conflict resolution, family dynamics, separation & divorce, step-families, and school issues.

For families, we will often use a variety of individual sessions—including separate sessions for children—along with larger group sessions for multiple family members.

Groups

At Bundall Psychology Centre we also provide opportunities for group therapy sessions on specific topics at different times throughout the year. Focus areas for these sessions include; anger management, stress management, anxiety & depression, post-trauma recovery, parenting, communication skills, and assertiveness training.

With 3-10 participants per group, sessions are scheduled to run once per week, for 10 weeks. Details of the next group therapy session available and how you can be involved can be obtained by contacting our office.

A full assessment usually requires 2 to 6 consultations, depending on its purpose. Components of an assessment include the completion of assessment items, followed by a review and discussions relating to those items, often culminating in a written report.

In addition to private clients, we often receive requests for psychological assessments from a variety of other sources, such as; Workcover, the Department of Veteran Affairs, probation & parole offices, solicitors, and schools.

This wide range of referrers reflects the many possible objectives for psychological assessments, which can also include high-performance functioning, team dynamics, and group cohesion in contexts such as corporate industry and elite sport.

Following a comprehensive assessment of a client’s psychological state over several sessions, robust psycho-legal reports are produced.

We also provide psychological rehabilitation services and related treatment of criminal behaviour, with referrals from probation & parole offices and related criminal court-ordered treatment plans. He works with perpetrators toward the primary goal of establishing authentic and enduring rehabilitation and reform.
