Counselling Relationships

We are a young married couple and just had our first baby, our relationship was crumbling before my eyes and I honestly believed our marriage was broken. Then we were recommended Dana, both me and my husband were nervous to attend our first session as neither of us had done anything like this before - but the way we saw it, we truly had nothing to lose considering the state of our marriage. Dana also welcomed us to bring our baby with us, which was so comforting as he suffered major separation anxiety from me. The minute we walked in and met Dana we were instantly relaxed, she made us feel so comfortable. Within attending 2 sessions, everything began to click. We were learning so much - not only about our relationship, but ourselves. We attended weekly at the start and now we attend fortnightly just for regular check ins. I couldnt recommend Dana enough, Im emotional writing this, remembering how far weve come, and how Dana truly saved us. Because of her we are even better parents to our son. Thank you so much Dana - from the bottom of our hearts.

UPDATE (26/10/2021) Dana - Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We both know how hard we've both been working these past weeks. On your guidance, I have changed my life forever! Yes very tough to undo some 49 years of self-limiting belief and behaviours, but I TRULY feel like a beautiful butterfly beginning to emerge from a self-imposed limiting chrysalis! You are truly amazing! Thank you. Glen ORIGINAL POST, un-edited (Approx 21/6/2021) (This is not a recommendation for your path leave the recommendations to Dana. This is a google review only) In Summary: 1. Make sure youve seen other medical-professionals before Dana, because when you experience what Dana is capable of you will realise one of 2 things 1) other providers are professionally distant or textbook clinical, OR 2) YOU werent ready for real change 2. Be prepared to WORK for the change you want! Your provider cant do it for you 3. Dana is my last stop! Shes changed/ing my world for the better! * * * * * * Tradesman, university science degree, masters in business and $95M in project management turnover = (must be) happy, fit and healthy right!? After years of turmoil in most facets of my life I think Ive always known something was odd and have sought 3-4 medical-professional views over the last 10 years needless to say, I didnt gain a lot from those views (this may also have been my own preventative attitude). It wasnt until another marriage crisis with my wife (with whom I have 3 kids) arose and I found Dana (the positive google reviews is what ultimately drew me to Danas practice). After an individual session or 2, I dragged my wife with me into Danas practice Nup! Nothing! Continued turmoil! (Covid landed, and) 12months later I went back to Dana with the attitude that if my marriage is going to fail, I might as well try and make it a happy and/or tolerable failure. Dana and I commenced working together on what I/me needed and OH MY...do we still have some work to do! As a foundation of our work, Dana suggested we commence with a view of my personal Schemas. From this we have established some VERY DEEP SEEDED root-cause and effect relating back to (what I thought was a normal) upbringing. No, we cant change the upbringing, but with holistic understanding, you can plan, work, and follow a VERY different path. With much internal peace and calmness - I hope you find the change agent you need, for I know how positive it feels to have found mine. Kudos Dana! Glen

After being single for 17 years and trying numerous counsellors, experimenting with various therapies, trying too hard, not hard enough, internet dating (argh!!) and giving up, Dana took me on an unexpected journey to uncovering my core issues and bingo...by our sixth session I opened myself to love and am now with the most divine man I've ever met. Dana gets it, is exceptional in finding what you need to work on and why. She held my hand and guided me to looking at parts of myself I was too scared to go on my own. I felt safe with her and surrendered myself to the process. Working with Dana, doing the homework and daring to go there, has changed my life for the better.

I had a horrible experience with this lady. The session took a wrong turn and I end up walking out on a couples session. This lady never bothered to get in touch with me again to ask about my well-being or mental health. Not recommended.

Dana has made us feel very comfortable in all sessions, she really gets us both and has helped to improve all aspects of our relationship when I honesty though there wasn't much hope left for the marriage . She is so lovely and you get a sense of ease the minute you walk into you office. .I can highly recommend her .
