individual and couples COUNSELLING IN THE macedon ranges

Hi, I’m Francesca
Here to help when life gets hard.

Life has its tough times and big challenges. It doesn’t mean we have a mental health issue if we need a bit of extra support to navigate the tough times. It simply means we’re human. We’re not supposed to do the hard stuff alone.

I provide calm, compassionate support to individuals and couples going through a difficult time. I enable people to feel understood, seen and supported when life feels too difficult. I help people manage overwhelm, grief, loneliness and big changes in their lives like retirement or a relationship break up. I help couples communicate better and manage their conflict more lovingly. I help couples learn vital relationship skills prior to marriage, so that they can give their relationship its best shot. And I support couples in making their decision on whether or not to separate.

I’m a registered counsellor located in Woodend in the Macedon Ranges. My services include:

I may be the counsellor for you if you are:

New to counselling and seeking a safe and comfortable environment to discuss what’s going on in your life.
A couple who has forgotten how to be nice to each other and needs to learn better communication skills.
A couple soon to be married and wanting to learn essential relationship skills from the outset.
A couple trying to work out if their relationship has come to an end or if they should give it another shot.
Struggling with coming to terms with a change or loss in life like the end of a relationship, an illness, or ending a career.
Burned out, overwhelmed, stuck and needing to plan some next steps to make life worth living again.
Having to say goodbye to your beloved pet and wanting to make sure you honour and grieve them as they deserve.
Yearning for deeper meaning, purpose and connection in midlife or retirement.
