Children's Counselling
EARLY CHILDHOOD INTERVENTION & BEHAVIOURAL MANAGEMENT
Children are very impressionable and easily influenced in which it exposes them to a lot of vulnerabilities in their young life. Given that they are still developing and learning it is difficult for them to make sense of their emotions and understand their situations.
Children develop challenging behavioural patterns that can stem from birth, environment and social pressures. Children do not have the skillsets in order to develop coping mechanisms on how they handle stress, anger, sadness or isolation.
Often, parents are searching for assistance and support for their children and for themselves to implement inventive ways to manage out of control behaviour.
At Advance Minds we help them work through their emotions, thoughts and situations. We work with children who may have emotional, behavioural or mental health issues, who have experienced trauma and/or are facing dysfunctional or stressful home environments. We also help those children who are experiencing bullying at school or are have social difficulties such as making and keeping friends.

Couples Counselling
When two individuals make a commitment to each other, it is a long-term investment that requires respect, patience and understanding.
Relationship issues can be mentally and emotionally exhausting. We tend to find ourselves wanting to give up after being together for a long period of time……
A common problem that we all face, is that couples are fixated on their children, careers, social relationships and social media that we neglect our relationship, which can cause strain and disconnection between the couple.
As we get older our needs are evolving, therefore what our spouse use to enjoy has now lost interest. We need to reconnect with our spouse and grow with each other.
The primary focus of attending couples counselling is to not prove who is right and who is wrong, rather learning how to communicate with each other and find a compromise.
Couples counselling is a great investment for the long-term. We shouldn’t wait until we are heading into divorce court in order to try and repair our broken relationships. Though most of us do!
Advance Minds has built a program for couples who are willing to pull their sleeves up and work. Unlike, other couples counselling, Advance Minds takes the time to identify the needs of each participant before commencing into couples counselling. At Advance Minds we don’t like our clients to walk out with open wounds when the situation is already hostile.

Women's Counselling
Women are strong, resilient and nurturing they have the ability to move forward carrying the mental, emotional, physical and financial responsibilities of our grandparents, parents, siblings, children and spouses.
Because women are nurturing by nature, they have a sense of accountability for those whom they care for the most, even if the behaviour is not returned, and will often remain in long term relationships suffering from domestic violence.
Women make sacrifices against their own will, in order to ensure the happiness of those around them, neglecting their own mental and emotional wellbeing.
