Relationships & Family

Control, Abuse or Violence

Conflict is an inevitable factor in every relationship. But conflict in your relationship should not result in abusive or violent behaviour. Domestic and family violence is not just physical – it also refers to verbal abuse, control, emotional abuse, isolation, sexual coercion, and intimidation.

Gambling Harm

Gambling harm has an impact on more than just an individual in isolation. When gambling becomes harmful it might begin to affect your relationship and family.

Maintaining Healthy Relationships

A healthy relationship with a significant other can enhance your life, making you feel loved and supported. Healthy relationships take time to build and need ongoing work to keep them healthy.

Navigating Change

They say change can be as good as a holiday – but navigating change can often leave us feeling uncertain, and even chaotic.

Senior Relationships

As we age it becomes necessary to have conversations with our family and friends to discuss important life decisions. A safe space and professional support can be beneficial to prevent or resolve conflict, and to plan for the future.
