Testimonial via text 2024: Individual Counselling and NLP: 'I don't want to get too excited and think that all my trauma is gone, and that when I feel down again, I'll get really down on myself because I've created this expectation that I'm like fully healed… But these last few days I felt absolutely free, I feel like I'm able to give more attention to other people and care for more people rather than just worried about myself and in my own head… Life is just feeling so much better at the moment. So thank you so much. - Jackson Margosis (Currumbin Beach)

Testimonial 2024: NLP: Parts Integration (Part of 6 Weekly Session Package - Ghita Life)
Hi Ghita, something good happened last night. I think our session really healed a part of me that was hurt by my dad. Anyway, so I called him and we had a big long talk - we talked about the world and eventually I even told him about our session we did. I never planned on telling him because I didn’t think he would understand or listen. But he listened - I told him how I didn’t want to be responsible or compared to my brother and how I’ve been having nightmares about being unheard by him for years. I think he heard me this time and I feel really good about it. It was like having a genuine heart to heart with him without any stigmas or resentment on either side and it meant a lot to me. So I just wanted to say thank you. You gave me the ability to forgive my dad and tell him how I feel, and I never thought that would be a possibility. Of course, there’s still a lot to work on, but it was a massive breakthrough and a part of my childhood heart has returned to me. - Lulu (Brisbane)
Ps. To think i was so reluctant to do that exercise and it ended up changing so much!

After just 5 sessions our communication skills are in a place we didn’t know were possible.

★★★★★ Google Review: 5 Weeks Couples Therapy Package 2024
'So grateful to have had the guidance of Ghita for our couples counseling. She was warm, welcoming, proactive and supportive. We really enjoyed her approach and achieved incredible growth in our relationship as a result. Thanks so much Ghita!' - Nicola (Banora Point, NSW)
★★★★★ Testimonial: 5 Weeks Couples Therapy Package 2023:
'Truthfully, I was ready to give up. Things were so bad. Since the five week program, we have nothing to fight about. The other day my husband used the code word 'Pineapple' to share something about his childhood: I stopped and listened without judgement - and I was fully present. Normally, I would half listen, avoid feelings and get defensive when he got frustrated. That would result in a whole day of ill feelings and sulking on both sides. The conflict would start with such small things. This has really changed how we see each other's triggers and motivations. We have never been so close. We don't take things so personally. We are stronger and we make time for each other.' - Suzie van de Schraaf (Currumbin)
★★★★★ 5 Star Google Review: Marriage Counselling: 3 Step Gottman Package 2023:
Ghita provided real strategies that can be implemented to prevent conflict and more empathy within our relationships. We were able to be truthful and honest within ourselves from better self reflection and then she gave us the tools to be able to communicate our needs effectively. We both learnt how to actively listen to one another and remember the other person's needs are different. Ghita was absolutely warm and welcoming, would definitely recommend her intensive 3 step program, it has saved our marriage. - Nicole Eggleton (Coomera).
★★★★★ Couples Counselling Testimonial 2023: "We did not understand the emotional type of Couples Therapy we tried before and felt that we were getting nowhere. My husband was the most frustrated. With the 3 Step Package we unpacked the issues fast and found out so much about each other, our own triggers and why we were fighting. I am so grateful for your help, it stops me thinking, reacting and jumping to conclusions. We are seeing great benefits." RM (Couples Counselling, Gold Coast).
Referral Feedback 2023: Hi Ghita, I was recommended to you by two couples: ----- & ------ and ------- & -------. They said you were phenomenal as a Couple's Therapist and saved their marriages. E.P. (Palm Beach)
Feedback Testimonial Marriage Counselling: Couples Intensive 2022:
We had been to Couples Counselling before with another counsellor. We felt we were being sold a package last time rather than doing the work, so we did not achieve much. I was convinced that we were separating and it was too late. This session was very different. Ghita nailed our problem and made us negotiate. After many years of arguing over the same thing, she showed us how to do deals. We should have done a pre-marital agreement long ago. I can see that now. I was of the mindset to leave, but one hour turned it around for us. We negotiated our personal time and even had a contingency plan for when things went wrong. Our homework was to fill in a full agreement covering all the other points we did not cover in session and to stick this on the back of a cupboard door. We both agree this session was nothing like what we expected. Thank you Ghita. - J & A Tovey. (Hope Island)
Feedback Text Marriage Counselling 2022: Thanks for today. We both found it really beneficial. - Leila and Louis (Coolangatta)

Email Testimonial: Marriage and Family Counselling 2021: I really appreciated your direct approach to the difficulties we were facing with our son still living at home.

(More info) Thank you again. - Andrea and Robert (Gold Coast)
Text Testimonial: Marriage Counselling: Couples Intensive 2020:
'My psychologist recommended you as some of her clients had done couples counselling and said that you were very direct and got straight into doing the work of unpacking the issues. I thought that was just what we needed for our situation. We didn't want the type of approach that would take weeks to make any progress. Thank you so much Ghita.' - Angela (Currumbin).
