About Julie

Julie's aim is to assist couples in enjoying more enriching and intimate relationships and provides a successful process that explores the underlying issues that need to be addressed and worked through. Imago Relationship Therapy is not a band-aid fix solution, however when both people commit to using the tools given, effective and transformative change can commence immediately. Couples can feel emotionally safe, empowered and encouraged that they can connect more deeply and address their challenges and differences without polarisation.

​Relationships in general, other than marriage can be supported and guided in addressing unresolved issues, in order to work towards healing, resolve and reconciliation.
Julie also enjoys assisting couples contemplating marriage, who may seek pre-marriage guidance before entering a long- term relationship. Counselling is also offered for needs such as grief and loss, assertiveness, effective communication, anxiety, depression, and generally finding a healthy balance in life.

​In previous years she also supported employees at L.D. Operations & Lake Coal Pty. Ltd., in which she provided general counselling and critical incidents recovery.
