- [Will Your Relationship Survive After Quarantine Ends?](https://counsellingandrelationships.com.au/will-your-relationship-survive-after-quarantine-ends/): After Lockdown Relationship Breakups There is absolutely no doubt that there will be a surge in relationship breakups after lockdown is lifted. The freedom of ‘getting out’ and living as normal a life as possible is going to alter and influence people’s attitudes, and possibly propel them to behave differently in their ‘newfound freedom’. Feeling like you have been given an ‘out of jail’ card will trigger a greater sense of hankering for new beginnings – particularly with individuals who already displayed self-centredness, lack of co-operation, disregard for other’s feelings, or just were bad communicators. So …. What is a […]

- [Making Relationships Work](https://counsellingandrelationships.com.au/making-relationships-work/): Our relationships stand out as paramount in importance and high priority. The following are some thoughts about what makes a relationship work and how you can maintain a solid foundation: Be perfectly clear about your own needs, and match those with your partner’s needs from the onset of the relationship. Many people choose a partner because of a feeling, and an attraction, however they don’t tend to ask themselves “What are the important things I value and need to evidence in my relationship to be content with my partner in the long term. It’s not too late to still have […]
- [The Heart of the Matter](https://counsellingandrelationships.com.au/heart-matter/): Christmas is fast approaching and I felt it was time to get to the ‘heart of the matter’ when it comes to our expression of Christmas love, cheer and what it means to give from the heart. The heart has, in the past, been a reasonably misunderstood organ whose sole function was to pump and circulate blood for survival. Needless to say we would not be here if that integral function ceased. Interestingly, the heart actually affects us in more ways than we realize. It has now been deemed to be our ‘second brain’ as there is more evidence to […]
- [Politics in Relationships](https://counsellingandrelationships.com.au/politics-in-relationships/): Here we go again, another election and another possible change of government. I should imagine that the medical profession has revised asking suspected concussion patients the question, “Who is our Prime Minister?”. It may not be the best question to ask given the many changes of leadership. Speaking of changes, one of the critical strategic plans in politics is that parties make promises that capture the attention of enough voters for that particular party to lead the nation. I have heard moans and groans about “here we go again”, “they’re all the same”, and “they promise everything before they’re elected […]
- [New Mindset = New Results](https://counsellingandrelationships.com.au/new-mindset-new-results/): “If you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’re always going to get the result you’ve always gotten.” Approaching situations or individuals the same way over and over again and then expecting different results is highly frustrating. Building on a sound information base, a willingness to open up to new possibilities, exploring options, and moving forward with sound practical skills & strategies makes the world of difference. Engaging in life with a renewed perspective lifts unnecessary burdens and turns difficulties into mere short term challenges that are able to be resolved.
- [To Forgive, or Not to Forgive](https://counsellingandrelationships.com.au/forgive-not-forgive/): This truly is an interesting question and has raised much controversy amongst professionals and individuals in society. In my opinion there is no ‘one solution that fits all’. Nearly everybody has been hurt by some action, word or deed. Perhaps you were bullied at school, or your parent constantly criticised your parenting skills, your colleague sabotaged a project, your son/daughter showed little respect or gratitude, or your partner had an affair. These wounds can leave you with lasting feelings of hurt and anger – sometimes leading to bitterness, or for some hate and even vengeance. Holding on to these negative […]
- [Children Caught in Parental Conflict](https://counsellingandrelationships.com.au/children-caught-parental-conflict/): We all have a sense of self. Whether this sense of self is positive or negative is based upon our experience in life and our perceptions and assessment of ourself. Sometimes this assessment may be distorted or tainted by events and happenings in our environment, and possibly inherited emotions passed on from previous generations. Our self-concept is a factual description of how we perceive ourselves, regardless of how others may see us. When parents who are living together, or are separated/divorced, are engaged in conflict – children hurt and are in pain. Initially, they may not show obvious signs of […]
- [Have the Relationship of Your Dreams](https://counsellingandrelationships.com.au/have-the-relationship-of-your-dreams/): Your fantasy relationship can be with the person you are with right now! You may be actually looking at your dream man or dream woman but somehow the fire in the relationship has been slowly diminishing. Relationship Counselling is about bringing the fun, passion and excitement back into the relationship. You can exchange a monotonous, routine relationship for an emotionally connected one with greater intimacy and fabulous sexual engagement. When you learn to awaken the feelings that you already possess and become more aware and mindful of each other’s needs the “sky is the limit” for your relationship potential. Krystyna’s […]
- [EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)](https://counsellingandrelationships.com.au/eft-emotional-freedom-technique/): EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a surprisingly simple, self administered technique that has amazing results. It can be applied anytime, anywhere. Gentle and easy to learn it erases anxiety & fear. This remarkable new healing technique is based on the ancient art of acupuncture combined with modern psychology. Studies performed at Murdoch University WA, and numerous reports from overseas show compelling results of improved well being and performance. Energy blockages in the body are released, allowing blood circulation and body electricity to flow freely. This promotes emotional and physical healing. Krystyna Noah’s approach to using EFT engages the client in […]
- [In Search of Self Esteem](https://counsellingandrelationships.com.au/search-self-esteem/): Self esteem is an emotion. It is the degree that we consciously or sub-consciously accept and like ourselves, despite our mistakes and human frailties. It determines what we think about ourselves and how we behave toward others. Krys uses a number of invaluable tools and approaches to turn negative self talk, and negative thoughts into positive action. She teaches clients how to break the destructive cycle of remaining in “think” and “feel” for too long. Getting stuck in this cycle inevitably leads to anxiety, low self worth, and depression. Some approaches and strategies include: Recognising negative self talk & the […]
- [Does Great Sex Constitute a Great Relationship](https://counsellingandrelationships.com.au/great-sex-constitute-great-relationship/): What do you want in a relationship? Have you thought about what your real needs are? For many couples when the seriousness of commitment and responsibilities eventuate the sex tends to take a dive. Why does this happen? People come together with their values, their fixed ideas on how things should be done. They come together with their expectations and assumptions. Their individual perspective is a result of their life’s experience. Quite often this can be then thrown onto the partner and the partner is expected to accept it – like it or not. At times it can come across […]

- [Hypnotherapy](https://counsellingandrelationships.com.au/hypnotherapy/): What is Hypnotherapy? Hypnosis is a natural state of mind – a focused state of attention. It taps into the unconscious to make suggestions for change. The client is deeply relaxed and is totally aware and mindful of all that is happening. It is scientifically proven to be an effective healing tool, and empowers the individual to change undesirable patterns of behaviour, replacing them with constructive, pro active ways of dealing with situations. During Hypnotherapy you are in control. Suggestions are made, but only if those suggestions are acceptable to the hypnotised person. Contrary to popular belief, you can’t be […]

- [Sex and Intimacy](https://counsellingandrelationships.com.au/sex/): Krys brings enthusiasm and perspective when working with couples experiencing sexual difficulties. Sex is not the foundation of a healthy relationship; it is a natural extension of a relationship in which giving and receiving mutual support and comfort are common. A great sexual relationship needs to be embedded in a vibrant overall relationship where intimacy is nurtured. Intimacy in a Relationship Krys engages couples to review the importance of intimacy in their relationship, being vulnerable with each other and disclosing who they really are. Krys assists couples to trust one another in expressing their emotional, verbal and sexual needs. Couples […]
- [Stress and Anxiety](https://counsellingandrelationships.com.au/stress/): Between trying to balance work, family, friends and everything else, stress has become common in our society. Letting stress alter your lifestyle can cause depression and fatigue. A recent Psychological Association survey of 1,850 people found that a disturbing 70% of respondents reported having physical and psychological symptoms of stress. The survey had some good news …….. 60% of those polled said they would be motivated to change, including learning to manage stress more effectively, in order to feel better. Krys engages with her clients to clarify what the stress triggers are. Potential triggers could include painful circumstances like illness […]
- [Self Esteem](https://counsellingandrelationships.com.au/self-esteem/): Self esteem is an emotion. It is the degree that we consciously or sub-consciously accept and like ourselves, despite our mistakes and human frailties. It determines what we think about ourselves and how we behave toward others. Krys uses a number of invaluable tools and approaches to turn negative self talk, and negative thoughts into positive action. She teaches clients how to break the destructive cycle of remaining in “think” and “feel” for too long. Getting stuck in this cycle inevitably leads to anxiety, low self worth, and depression. Self Esteem approaches and strategies Recognizing Negative Self Talk & the […]
- [Grief and Trauma](https://counsellingandrelationships.com.au/grief/): Krys’ compassion, empathy and caring assist devastated clients to advance through the process of loss & grief. Her gentle demeanour helps clients to open doors to their painful memories and experiences so that healing can commence. This allows a natural progression of recognition and transition when working through issues of loss, grief, abuse and trauma. Krys has completed specific courses and programmes dealing with these issues. She has also presented workshops to other professionals. An environment of confidentiality and respect is adhered to, and is imperative for continued disclosure and building of trust. Krys has worked with survivors of sexual […]
- [Depression](https://counsellingandrelationships.com.au/depression/): It is very easy to get into an unhealthy vicious cycle. When actions and interactions have negative outcomes over and over, we feel anxious and low. If these negative feelings are not dealt with, and not interrupted, there is a high chance that it can progress to depression. The more depressed we feel the less motivated we are to engage in the kinds of activities that will have positive outcomes. This, of course causes us to feel even more depressed and in turn we become less active – it then goes on and on perpetuating inertia and negativity about life. […]
- [Anger Management](https://counsellingandrelationships.com.au/anger-management/): Krys’ ability to see past presenting issues is instrumental in connecting with individuals with anger issues. Anger is a natural and appropriate response to a number of situations including being lied to or otherwise betrayed, and in those times it would be unhealthy not to feel anger and give it a voice. Verbalising the emotion and working it through is how to relieve the physical and mental stress anger creates. Krys facilitates the opportunity to resolve the problem with the other person and move past being angry. Unhealthy anger, conversely, results when people flip out automatically as a reaction, or […]
- [Communication Skills](https://counsellingandrelationships.com.au/communication-skills/): Good communication is vital in relating to others. Without these skills, continual frustration, misunderstanding and aloneness prevail. Krys helps clients to communicate with confidence, clarity and credibility. Workshops Krys runs Communication Workshops and has achieved tremendous praise for outstanding results. She encourages individuals to take risks and to step forward in expressing their needs and wants in a respectful adult manner. Krys also supports individuals who have difficulty in social interactions. She teaches individuals how to approach new situations with confidence and assertion. Many relationship breakdowns occur because of poor communication skills. Effective Communication Krys encourages Effective Communication which allows […]
