LifeCare is an established private counselling practice based in Brisbane. We provide professional counselling support and a range of counselling and psychological services to adults, young people, children and their families. All of the counsellors at LifeCare are highly trained and qualified professionals who hold current affiliation with their relevant professional accreditation authorities.
With a combined total of over 40 years’ experience working in a range of contexts associated with psychological wellbeing, it is not surprising that Susan and Rayleigh are frequently asked by colleagues, students, supervisees and clients to share their insights and knowledge in a more accessible way. So, here it is. This blog will provide regular commentary on various aspects of their work. Sometimes these reflections will be related to particular interventions, sometimes we will share opinions about a professional dilemma and sometimes we will simply share something amusing. We look forward to engaging with fellow bloggers and hope this forum becomes a mutually rewarding opportunity to share thoughts and ideas.
It is important for parents to remember that a child’s developing identity is enriched if they are free to enjoy a positive relationship with both parents. Has your relationship with your child changed after separation? Time to examine whether you are inadvertently alienating your child from their other parent.
Separation can strain and damage the parent-child relationship. Take steps to rebuild the relationship with your child and leave past conflicts behind.
Family Law is fraught with complexity, competing interests, suffering and potent, palpable anger. The process of separating undoubtedly qualifies as a high stress life event with many individuals experiencing significant anxiety, depression, increased substance abuse and difficulty regulating their emotions.
Our first priority is to ensure the health and wellbeing of our staff and our clients. The risk that COVID-19 presents means that we cannot guarantee a safe environment and we have therefore made the decision to temporarily close our supervised contact centre effective from COB Sunday, 29th March, 2020.
We are still able to facilitate supervised changeovers, counselling services and family reports and have strict protocols in place in this regard.
Please call the office on 07 3397 9665 if you require further information.
LifeCare's Children's Supervised Centre is currently available to conduct intake interviews in anticipation of improved circumstances. Once mandated, we will re-commence full services.
