Adam Kreuzer
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Diploma of Counselling, Professional Certificate of Adolescent Counselling
Parenting can be challenging. It's not always the exciting, positive and happy experience that is portrayed in the movies. The birth of a child can be a deeply traumatic and stressful experience for many parents and these feelings can continue throughout the life of a parent. I provide safe, therapeutic support to parents as they work through their issues, problems or challenges related to parenting. Together, we come up with action plans to regain healthy control and build more effective relationships with your children.

Parenting issues encompass a wide array of challenges and let's be honest as much as we love our kids, they can be hard work at times! As a parent myself I can completely relate to the highs and lows the journey our children take us on. I provide an empathetic and compassionate space for you to investigate the complex challenges that are faced and look at the situation through an open mind and non-judgemental lens to support you in discovering clarity and awareness in a situation you may have felt bound within. Seeking support in this area can help empower you to be the best version of yourself no matter the situation or how old your children are.

Irene Valis
Counsellor/Therapist, Gestalt Psychotherapist, PACFA Certified Counsellor, Life Coach
As a wife, mother and daughter, I resonate with the joys and challenges of parenting.
I tried so hard to be a good mum that eventually I lost my way a little and made child-rearing like a mission to accomplish rather than a journey to be savoured and experienced.
This awareness led me to seek support and put the oxygen-mask on as they say.
Now my parenting experience has completely shifted, it is a lot more relaxed, satisfying and fun - and my children and husband feel it too.
My mission is to nurture and support other women who are mothers or are planning to be mothers to foster and engage in safe, respectful and loving relationships first within themselves and in turn their children and their family.
I also support mothers who have recently become empty-nesters and grappling with a sense of loss of identity and purpose.

Jumping Hurdles Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Clinical Supervisor, Master of Counselling
Parenting is not easy. Having the skills and knowledge to enable children to grow up making the correct choices and become responsibility is the answer to being a good parent. Parenting assists parents to focus on planning so that things go right- it enables tem to become a rereflective listener, enables them to be soloution foccused and not a rescurer. Importantly it gives them the skills not to be a dectective to their children but a support person their young can rely on.
