Struggling?

We support you to get your life back on track.

Compassionate counselling for individuals, couples and families.

How can I help?

We understand how difficult life can be and the impact of the past and present on our thoughts and emotions. Counselling seeks to tie together the different threads of your life. It helps you develop confidence and restore balance in your personal life and relationships. Therapy can help you take back control of your circumstances and make changes that are lasting and sustainable. Our caring and experienced counsellors will support you through your journey of self-discovery and towards harmony and wellbeing.

Taking the first step is difficult but we’re glad you made it.

We look forward to talking with you soon.

Dorianne Oliver

Dorianne is passionate, committed and provides a trusting space for clients to be open and honest about their struggles. Along with her insight and candid nature, Dorianne seeks to tie together the different threads of a person’s life, creating understanding and opportunities for change. Integral to self-awareness is the understanding that we are all influenced by our life experiences, relationships, and families. The attainment of a greater understanding of a person’s life and relationships creates space for insight and growth. Working within this process, and along with empathy and curiosity, she works with clients to meet their needs and goals.

Her therapeutic approach is customised to align with each individual’s uniqueness and differing needs. Dorianne believes that we all seek to live a good life, however, sometimes in life we may feel stuck and alone. Sessions with Dorianne provide an opportunity for growth, recovery, and self-actualisation.

Depression

Life Changes

Fears & Phobias

Couples

When two people come together in a relationship they bring unique experiences, upbringings, beliefs, opinions and worldviews. Sometimes it's hard to understand the other's point of view or agree on decisions that need to be made.

Relationship counselling works to bring understanding of ourselves and our partner and build healthy communication and conflict-resolution skills.

Grief & Loss

Relationships

Anger Management

Domestic Violence

Families

We believe families are like a system made up of many parts and when something is not quite right with one part, the whole system experiences stress. We work with families who are facing a challenge such as sickness, disability, grief or conflict and help them build sound communication and coping skills that will equip them to manage difficult situations as a team.
