Counselling and Support Services
Welcome to Better Connexion Counselling and Support Services. Today you are one step closer to making changes in your life that will lead to new ways of thinking, feeling and behaving.
Better Connexion Counselling offers a better connexion with
· counselling, coaching and support online across Queensland and
beyond
· face to face appointments at Milton, Brisbane, and Bayside
Sandgate
· counselling can also be offered in a natural environment if that’s
your inclination (walk and talk in nature – aka nature bathing)
Our service is supportive, respectful, solution-focused, non-judgemental and confidential. We will assist you in changing long standing behavioural patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
Additionally, the Support Services offered focuses on supporting NDIS participants (self and plan managed) in directing their lives. This may include assisting participants to reduce complexity in their support environment in the context of broader systems of support, whilst also assisting the participant to connect with NDIS supports, negotiate solutions with multiple stakeholders and build capacity and resilience.
ACA ETHICAL FRAMEWORK
Self-awareness and development through counselling and coaching is built on a unique relationship based on boundaries, trust and confidentiality. I adhere to professional supervision and ongoing professional development. For more on the ethics I adhere to, please refer to the Australian Counselling Association ethical framework
Meet Kathy Bermingham
Kathleen works from an integrative psycho-therapeutic approach, including person-centred and solution-oriented therapy. She is an ACA (Australian Counsellors' Assoc) Level 4 registered counsellor and holds qualifications in education, psychology, counselling and body work. With over twenty years of experience in counselling roles across crisis telephone counselling, private practice, university and school counselling, Kathleen has worked with people from all ages and backgrounds including people from Cultural and Language Diverse backgrounds. She is currently studying hypnotherapy and is excited about including this in the near future.
Kathleen works from two overlapping fronts. First is working in the counsellor client partnership. Assisting clients to access their own inner wisdom, rather than taking the role of expert, and moving toward flourishing (coined by Seligman, M, Positive Psychology). Secondly, is supporting those affected by anxiety, depression, mental malaise, relationship and anger concerns, grief and loss, life changes and more to find better coping and management strategies.
With compassion and kindness
While it is our belief that you have done the best you can to manage the difficulties that have led you to this place, all of us need help at times. Understanding that no one can change difficult experiences of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve the challenges in your life. Ultimately, you intuitively have the key to find your solutions, we can work with you in accessing these.
