These sessions are for those wanting to restore friendships or close relationships. Sometimes ruptures happen in friendships and close relationships that feel too big to mend. Many times people walk away when they don’t know how to work through the messy waters that can appear when they feel hurt by others and/or hurt others. The desire to mend, repair and restore the relationship is there but you may feel unsure about how to do this effectively. Rachel will walk you through what it would take to restore a friendship/relationship and support you through the work you will need to do within yourself first. Then, you will consider inviting the other person/people into the therapy room. They would be supported to process their own work within themselves first, if they choose to accept the invitation. Once this is done, Rachel would host counselling sessions all together. An opportunity of restorative therapy is offered to all. Together you can map out a way forward, through the clearer waters, from there. If this is something you are considering, please contact Rachel today.

Rachel runs workshops in the local community for personal mental health hygiene, couples and parents. Workshop information will be added here.
