couple therapy

Hi. I’m Duda – couples therapist, counsellor, life coach and professional trainer, offering face to face sessions in Sydney. Also available are online sessions for clients outside of Sydney or those wanting to attend sessions from the comfort of their home.

Whether you are looking for one on one sessions or group training, I have lived and professional experience across Australia, UK, Europe and have also worked with global companies.

THERAPY

Together, we look at your own values, feelings and needs and learn to separate them from the external noise of what you “should do”. We go into the “why” and “how” of what you’re currently doing and feeling to what you actually want to do and how you want to feel. Therapy is a space in which we look back in order to heal and then make choices that come from a place of confidence and self-acceptance.

COUPLES THERAPY

In couples therapy sessions, the focus is on the relationship. Both partners will have find the will to contribute to the change they want to see in their relationship. Truth to be told, it’s not easy for couples to seek help so I create an honest and transparent space where I guide the couple towards each side feeling safe to speak out and feel heard.

Couple therapy is challenging for everyone involved, it requires action-taking between sessions and an open mind for both parties. I take an objective stand in couple therapy and work with couples as a team for our one and only client – their relationship.

COACHING

In coaching sessions, the focus is on goals and the mindset. Coaching is about the dreams you want to put into reality and a progressive approach to strategise your future actions and changes in choices  in order to get where you want to get. It is future orientated and requires committed action during and between sessions.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

I work with the employers in establishing the needs for their staff. In our discussion we identify their teams dynamic and I create tailor made programs that would be the most relevant, engaging and results driven program for your staff. My eyes are all on your team to thrive and you getting the results.

In addition to group sessions, where needed we can create on-going face to face with a certain member of staff where we provide coaching on specific goals and skills.

About:

When people ask me about my life, my work will always end up at the forefront of the conversation. I believe it is my passion and the wisdom I have attained from a passion for learning.

To say that my life (personal and professional) has been exciting and interesting is an understatement. I have had a number of careers across the globe and I don’t seem to be stopping anytime soon.

Since an early age I have had a successful career; first as a professional singer and dancer, then as a business owner and life/coach counsellor in my private practice. My interest in professional development has always been linked to my coaching days. 

In addition to work, education was top notch from the early years and I have developed deep satisfaction in on-going learning.

Every success I had so far is due to grit and discipline, yes, but the main reason that I chose to pass on in my work still remains: on-going personal and professional development. 

All my talents and extensive work experience led me to combine my passions and use them to support others in their personal and professional life.

Being a counsellor enables me to build rapport, and provide a safe space behind closed doors where clients can meet themselves and find new ways to better their lives. To process the hard stuff, feelings, beliefs, thoughts.

Working with couples, I am passionate in helping couples develop outstanding communication dynamics and develop compassion for each other in ways that is rarely introduced in our society. Where most shy from working with couples, I find this work exciting and witness amazing results every day.

In coaching, my results driven part comes out and I work with high achievers in clarifying goals and obstacles that might have prevented them to take actions and we then develop a clear action plan to change the course towards their dreams.

Working as a professional trainer, I am passionate in supporting the business owner in getting their team to a level that would make their business thrive yet at the same time support their team members to grow in confidence and skills and mindset.
