Relationship Counselling Based on Experience and Compassion

Korey’s experience working with couples counselling in 1993 whilst on a placement with Relationships Australia. Ever since, Korey has developed a keen interest in understanding and developing strategies for the best ways to help couples who have been, or currently are, involved in a significantly traumatic or hurtful event.

To ensure she has the necessary knowledge to help each couple in their situation, she has undertaken further specialist training in working with couples. Her most recent areas of study were Clinical Hypnosis and Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples.

Furthermore, she has been working towards becoming a certified emotional focused couple therapist with the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy to provide this form of counselling.
