A family therapist who speaks your language
Searching for your “awesome” but can’t find the time for you? Struggling to take that first step on the path to recovery? My name is Owen and I’m an NDIS funded therapist with specialised expertise in Autism and Bipolar Disorder. I help families, couples and kids address and overcome problems and issues, leading to positive outcomes.
It’s all about people, not agendas. Here at Owen Kessels our counselling for family services and therapies are grounded in teamwork, listening and working with you to achieve your goals. We offer support for individuals or groups dealing with a wide range of relationship and mental health issues by tailoring therapies to fit your needs. We believe that for effective familial therapy there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
What does a family therapist do?
As an NDIS funded family therapist, my main objective is to help people overcome difficulties within the family unit or in other relationships. I provide counselling for family members which focuses on replacing negative thoughts and emotions with positive, life-enriching ones. But most importantly, I’m dedicated to achieving positive results through consultation and teamwork!
The benefits of effective familial therapy and counselling are extensive and cover many difficult situations such as abuse, child behavioural issues, mental health issues, divorce, changed family dynamics, parental issues, PTSD etc. By developing coping skills and improving communication, families and couples are better able to deal with stressful issues.
The principal goals in family therapy are to:
- open lines of communication
- establish the free exchange of thoughts and emotions
- overcome family hurdles and barriers
- improve family dynamics and engagement
- reverse negative patterns of behaviour
- achieve positive outcomes
By working closely with families and individuals, identifying and building on their strengths, uncovering opportunities and adopting an inclusive team approach, together we can help you develop a plan and ultimately achieve your goals.
Expert, adaptive counselling for family and emotional wellbeing
Why should you choose me and my team? As a therapist with personal experience in mental health issues, I don’t just talk the talk…I walk the walk. Let’s take that walk together and achieve the emotional well-being you deserve.
Need to talk? We’re here to listen. Ask us about our unique Creek Escape or free gardening mornings. It’s time for you to shine…to find your awesome! Call us today on 0423 737 018 or contact us online and let’s put you on the path to recovery.
