WHAT IS PSS?

Bold, results-driven and evidence-based solutions for women, men and couples.

PSS is about real connection and change without the BS. No pop psych fads, no hand outs or fluff - just real, raw and radical innovative solutions. Whether “forced” to seek change from crisis or frustration of stuckness, PSS can help shake things up.

Using a life audit approach developed over 15 years of counselling and psychotherapy practice, PSS offers innovative solutions to create lasting change. Cutting through the positive thinking jargon, “pseudoscience” wellness warrior and politically correct crap, common in today’s coaches and counsellors, PSS utilises evidence-based techniques, information and accountability via real-time application to get you back in the driver’s seat of your life.

PSS encourages you to look at what’s happening through a broader lens, take radical responsibility and act. Examine your values and beliefs and get clear on the stories/ narratives you're telling yourself, interrupt and evaluate where they came from to change deep-seated triggers and reactions. Learn to RESPOND (not react).

PSS has unique communication techniques specialising in rupture and repair for conflicting families and partners. You’re invited to consider your diet/ nutrition, pathology, gut health and inflammation, how you move your body, relational dynamics and how it all compliments and plays into mindset, mood and psychological shifts. 

Maybe you tried spirituality, maybe you do pilates every day, journal, intermittent fasting, and all the “things” but you are still angry and reactive. You're not having a lot of sex or don’t care if you never do again, you're not sure whether you’re fulfilled in your marriage, you don't feel very appreciated. Perimenopause and hormonal fluctuations have started, with symptoms such as  irritability and weight gain or right up to hot flushes and wanting to end your marriage…. Is it life events, the people in your life, a lack of purpose or meaning or are you projecting through the filter of I'm not happy or satisfied or fulfilled with myself? Is it them or me and if you are doing all the things and you’re still angry and inflamed should we review what's actually working?. 

That’s where PSS can help cut to the reality of what’s happening and build strategies and self awareness and change you can bring back into your home, relationship, career, children and future.
