Why relationship counselling in Geelong is not just for couples

Valentine’s Day isn’t just a celebratory hallmark event — it’s commonly a signal to many of us of what is missing in our personal relationships or in ourselves. Instead of being presented with roses and romance, we are confronted with loneliness, pressure, comparison, or quiet grief. Relationship counselling in Geelong is here to assist during this phase that maybe challenging for many.

How counselling can help you?

Regardless of your relationship status, it is important to take the time to evaluate, review and prioritise your needs.

Taking the first step to seeking out counselling can be daunting for many and often is triggered by a key event or when an individual feels out of balance.

A psychologist can help you navigate this difficult or confusing time and help you better understand yourself, your interpersonal relationships and your situation.

Helen Handsjuk individually tailors her approach so your needs can be understood and a practical resolution found.

• You will learn how to effectively pay attention to your thoughts, emotions, and actions. In simplified words, see this as Helen seeking out raw data and needing to better understand who you are, how you function and interact with the world
• Once this is established, Helen works with you to translate and synthesise this information.
• Finally, she will then work with you to find the best way forward

Remember, application takes discipline and practice. This process takes time, commitment and patience. It is vital during this time to be kind to yourself.
