Counselling Session

Attended by: Individuals, couples or families (individuals must be a current/past student OR over the age of 18).

Brief summary:

For too long, the narrative around counselling has been that you only see a counsellor if there is something wrong.

Proactively, we see a mechanic for our car service, a dentist for our teeth, a doctor for our body, an accountant for our taxes, and we all need to be part of the societal shift towards seeing a mentor/coach/therapist/counsellor for our mind. This is just common-sense.

I maintain a safe, open, non-judgemental environment. A counselling session can be fun, you might laugh and you may cry, you may gain different perspectives and also new skills and strategies for relationships and life. And, most of all, I hope, you will find a few more of the jigsaw pieces in the puzzle known as life.

Sessions are tailored to your needs.

The session can be fast-moving or gentle; I can be frank, candid and sort problems quickly, or we can take our time and explore issues slowly. You set the tone. You are in the driver’s seat.

Our key aim is for society to view counselling as a sign of strength and an investment in wellbeing. I look forward to seeing you soon!

Melissa is a registered ACA Level 4 Counsellor, has a Masters in Counselling and has run a counselling practice since 2008.

Melissa’s key focus areas are relationship counselling (including marriage and couples therapy and how to deal with a break up), in-law challenges and parental alienation.

Teenager and Young Adult Masterclass: 12 – 16 years

General Summary
The 12 – 16-year-old Teenager and Young Adult program is a 32-week leadership program with a rigorous focus on the challenges of being a teenager and young adult in our competitive (and sometimes cruel) world.

The eight SHINE Modules present key life skills including the development of EQ (emotional intelligence), SQ (social intelligence) and AQ (adaptability/adversity intelligence). Our focal topics include sociology, positive and negative ways to deal with emotional pain, how to deal with anger, leadership (poor and excellent examples) across the world, forensic psychology, what healthy relationships look and feel like, dating in the future, alcohol, drugs, résumé/folio enhancement, building your reputation, application of common-sense, how to be diplomatic during conflict, good decision-making, entrepreneurship, withstanding peer pressure, and so much more.

We cover 1040 concepts in the 32 weeks.

The philosophy underpinning the Teenager and Young Adult program is to challenge each individual to proactively consider subjects and perspectives outside their (traditional) frame of reference and comfort zone so that they are empowered and ready to handle the kind of scenarios and challenges likely (and some unlikely, but best to be prepared) to occur as a teenager and young adult.
