"A single conversation across the table with a wise person is worth a month’s study of books".

Narrative counselling looks at the language of the client and the counsellor in constructing an empowering story: “A narrative approach to counselling is … one that takes seriously all of the dimensions of humanness (intention, relationship, temporality [or time-line], feeling [or emotion] and morality) that are involved in a process of storytelling. More specifically, a narrative approach draws attention to the ways in which people use language and talk to construct their lives. A narrative approach to counselling is one that promotes sensitivity to the use of language on the part both of the person seeking help and of the counsellor who supplies that help”.

What is counselling about? “Counselling represents a unique and invaluable form of support with respect to life in complex societies, through making available a relationship which offers a blame-free safe space for reflection on problems in living, and the development of solutions…”

Here are some video clips to help you to get a flavour of the ABC Coaching and Counselling Services approach to counselling and therapy:

1. This first clip is a brief introduction to Dr Jim Byrne, ABC Coaching and Counselling Services, and the counselling services on offer.

2. In this second clip, I describe the importance of taking responsibility for your own life, as the essential foundation for any form of successful counselling process.

3. Here is a brief introduction to Cognitive Emotive Narrative Therapy (CENT), which is the form of counselling and therapy created and used by Dr Jim Byrne. There are at least 16 videos on the 16 Counselling Videos page.

4. This is Part 2 of ‘What is Counselling?’ It was produced by me to update my statements about the way I think of counselling. In particular, I mention the importance of Attachment Theory, and the counsellor being emotionally available to the client.

Multimodal and integrative approaches to (attachment) counselling are likely to prove more effective than those that emphasize one or other modality – thinking, feeling, acting, hearing, seeing, touching, or speaking. “More than a hundred years ago, Freud argued that the brain develops through experience, and that it may change as a result of psychotherapy; ever since, various approaches to psychotherapy (and counselling) have competed, each laying claim to being the most effective. It would, however, be more productive to develop multimodal intervention forms based on principles that incorporate neurobiological growth, regulation, and integration”.

You will see results immediately even if you have never had a family dog before! If you have tried but failed to train that darn dog THESE are the professional Secrets you want!


The same strategies I used for years to handle dozens of unruly dogs at a time in my dog grooming business, are revealed to you in this simple to use step-by-step system.

Are you at the end of your rope with your dogs insistence on grinding his snout into every guest that comes through the front door? Or do you have a new puppy that is not potty trained and just dont know where to begin?

If you are like the many dog owners I met every week in my dog grooming business, frustrated with a misbehaved dog, then you are certainly not unique. I know because I saw it every day. For example does your dog

Has this behaviour got you at the end of your rope? … And generally just driving you absolutely crazy?

Our family dog Luke was full of energy that just didnt know what to do with himself when we brought him home as a young puppy. We didnt want to go through the painful experience of a misbehaved puppy so we trained him to avoid all the pain and made owning a family dog the enjoyable experience that it is suppose to be.

Available to you now in this cutting edge book are the same secrets I used day in and day out to manage sometimes as many as 25 to 30 dogs in my dog grooming store. My book is written in easy to understand everyday language to help people like you who came to my store day in and day out with dogs that just needed a little help in the training department.

I had to write it because I saw so many unhappy dog owners who could simply turn it all around into a pleasant situation if they just had a few simple secrets. Most of my customers were amazed at just how easy it was to turn their dog from a nightmare to a good dog! It was my duty to share these secrets and strategies so you can start to enjoy a well-trained dog or puppy fast.

Frankly I was amazed at the positive feedback and results my customers were getting when I first started sharing my training secrets. But I also know that your dog will even love you more for it.

Thanks to the training secrets that I share in my book Dog Owners Boot Camp even first time dog owners are achieving miraculous success. You to will discover just how easy and fast it really is to have a well-trained dog as a pet.

I was at the end of my leash with Max when I got your book. I was almost going to put him up for adoption but your training tips showed immediate results. Within 2 days Max was not jumping on guests anymore. My wife was amazed and it really has made a complete difference in our house

Working with so many dogs at the same time such as you have can be a real challenge. You can easily lose your patience in a dog-grooming store so your information was a real saving grace. It has made my job so much easier and less stressful. Another great bonus for me is how much better I have been able to train my own dog Copper. It has made it easier when I get home each day to enjoy seeing Copper rather than just not wanting to see another dog. Thank you it really has made a big difference

Imagine. what it would be like for you to open your front door and have your dog sit at your side, well behaved while you greet your guest. You are in control. Your dog obeys your every command. No, you are not dreaming in color its easy to do!

Imagine Taking your dog for a walk no more constant tugging at the leash and wanting to chase everything Hooch sees. Can you imagine what it would not be like having a sore arm from trying to restrain your dog?

When you are walking with your dog in a park you dont have to worry about him straining at his leash to see the other dogs because he will stay in your control awaiting your commands.

Can you see yourself in that park, no more embarrassment, the envy of all other frustrated untrained dog owners? Because if you dont you will want to get your copy of Dog Owners Boot Camp and start right now!

How many people do you know that think training their dog is yelling louder each time they give a command? They think the dog is hard of hearing so they keep yelling the same command over and over again and expect different results. Is this not the definition of insanity?

They give a command and when the dog…

Effective Teen Parenting Because Growing Up is Optional for Boys Download

Take the Struggle and Frustration out of Parenting Your Teenager. Issues like Technology Binging and (Lack of) Responsibility MADE EASY! It’s a Real Game-Changer!

This is a Unique Approach that Will Take The Confusion, Frustration and Worry Out of Parenting a Teenage Boy…. How to AVOID THE TRAPS AND Do Your Best Parenting Yet!!


You’re about to discover the secrets to raising happy and healthy young men. This is loaded with strategies and insights that you will not hear anywhere else;

To: All parents and adults in the life of a teenage boy. He deserves something special during the often challenging teenage years AND I know you want to avoid the unnecessary RISKS such as drugs, alcohol abuse, violence and depression (let alone the risk of passivity and under-achievement)!

Shows the why and the how of two important gifts a boy needs to become a healthy man, aware creative parenting and rites of passage. Practical, concise and full of creative wisdom drawn from Andy Roy’s years of experience working with men and boys. Healthy manhood is optional – It’s Time delivers the man-making tools our boys desperately need.

If you have ever worried or stressed about the many radical changes in your boy through his teen transition…

Or if you just want the very best for him and just know deep down there is a missing link in the chain here.

Or if you’re fed-up with settling for less and would prefer to feast on a banquet than nibble away at scraps… then I have good news for you:

…This will be the most important message you will ever read. Big Call? Maybe. Here’s why…

Rick and his wife Veronica had BIG problems with their 13 year old son Max. His behaviour was extreme and it was causing such grief in their family that no-one was having any fun… this was splitting up the family and life was a continual drama and challenge.

When they came to see us Rick said to me straight up ‘This is the last throw of the dice for us, we’ve tried EVERYTHING.’

He had got to a point in his life where he thought he’d grow old and lonely and have a son that doesn’t visit or even talk to him. He was devastated….

Veronica was very anxious and looked like she had already given up. Max’s frequent emotional episodes and stubborn refusal to participate at home was driving them nuts… then there was school. Being called into ‘the office’ many many times was embarrassing, exhausting and very worrying. Max was out-of-control and they were powerless to do anything about it.

So what happened next was simply beautiful. We put Max and his family through a process that challenged them all. Max tried his old tricks and his parents struggled not to buy-into the old dramas.

It was feverish and heavy. Max didn’t like this life at all and was suicidal, he had no place on earth where he felt OK, he was failing school and his relationships where a complete mess…. he felt worthless and stupid.

You see a big part of Max’s problem was that EVERYONE is in transition, not just Max. The load bearing down on him to do all the changing had overwhelmed him and he was fighting back.

When he could begin to see his mother and father honestly struggling with the changes they needed to make, Max was free to handle his own changes.

I won’t say this came easily for him to start with but I will say there came a pivotal moment in time where Max stood up and made a conscious and courageous decision. Rick was still worried and you should have seen his face when Max stood up and announced ‘I can do this dad’!

Veronica and her mum were shocked at what happened. There was Max doing the dishes, asking others if he could get them something…

Veronica later told me of the long list of ‘white coats’ they had seen and that they had spent a fortune getting no-where. She even paid $800 for an assessment that told her the family needed help! She could have told them that for NOTHING!

‘No-one taught us what you have taught us’ she said. ‘Why is this not taught everywhere?’

To say they were relieved and delighted is an understatement. You couldn’t wipe off the smile from Rick’s face! Here was one happy man!

Three years later and Max absolutely loves his life. He is doing very well at school, has a girlfriend who his parents love and he’s Mr Popular with her family. He even has his sights firmly set on studying engineering after school… just like his dad did!

So we had some work to do to get them all into a new place, and I mean them all. Rick and Veronica needed to make some changes themselves and once they knew how to do this, it just changed everything.

Here they are telling the story 3 years later…. it was such a delight to catch up with them again.

What we did with them is different AND it’s not rocket science. If they can do it so can anyone.

So this is a touching story and lucky for Max that his parents were persistent. It’s not an uncommon story and it’s time something really changed for our boys.

Do you know that there are more baby boys born than girls? Exactly 94,232 more boys than girls were born in the U.S. during 2004. It has been this way for the past 63 years and in this time 5,776,130 more males were born.

Do you also know that by the time they get to 21 there are more girls than boys? Even with more boys than girls being born, women still outnumber men in…

Feeding Picky Kids Download

A Personal Message From The Desk Of Christine Sullivan, Naturopath And Nutrition Medicine Consultant

Did you know that 80% of parents are concerned about their children’s eating habits? So you are not alone!


Even the most health conscious parents, no matter how hard they try, can have a hard time making sure their kids eat the right foods and get the right level of nutrition to keep them healthy and grow and develop into healthy adults.

BUT, you are about to find out that it IS possible to have a child who eats well…. by following firm but gentle and proven holistic, nutritional strategies.

Hi, my name is Christine Sullivan. I am a naturopath with over 26 years of clinical experience with families’, babies and children’s health, diet and nutrition medicine and am regarded as one of Australia’s leading practitioners in these fields.

Prior to my naturopathic training, I was a social worker working with families and children in care and in a children’s hospital as well as working with expectant and new parents as well as parents of toddlers. For many years I facilitated antenatal and breastfeeding support groups as well as support groups for new parents and parents of toddlers.

I have always had a special interest in babies and children’s health and eating disorders. As a child I was the ultimate picky eater and still have vivid memories of mealtime battles with my own parents, and doing the rounds of doctors and paediatricians regarding my poor eating.

I am also the mother of three now adult children. All three went through stages of very picky eating so I know what it is like as a parent to want your child “just to eat something!” and the sheer frustration and exasperation you feel when everything you offer seems to be rejected.

My belief is that good wholesome food, patience and a healthy life style can overcome most health problems.

Children seem so vulnerable but at the same time are so resilient and good food will certainly help them reach their potential.

In the extremely fast pace of 21st century living it is so easy to rely of fast and convenience food , losing sight of basic nutritional principles and the healing power of good food and instead looking for “a pill for every ill”.

Hippocrates said “let food be your medicine and your medicine be your food” so let’s use this principle with your picky eater!

As a naturopath and nutrition medicine consultant I regularly work with parents who are worried and desperate about their child’s picky and fussy eating habits and the myriad of health problems that frequently accompany this.

Through working with these families over the past 26 years I have developed a concept that I call KIDEOLOGY.

To me, KIDEOLOGY is the art and science of treating children holistically with good nutrition and with natural food as their medicine wherever possible.

So, with this approach in mind, I have come up with some unique strategies that parents can quickly and easily implement to overcome those daily heartbreaking power struggles with food.

When the families I see in my clinic follow the plan I will give you, within a couple of weeks their children begin to

Because I have seen such wonderful outcomes with my young picky eaters, I want to be able to share some of my secrets with all your worried and concerned parents out there.

Yes, that’s right…..it is possible to have your child eat happily and healthily once you are able to address the major underlying factors with holistic and practical guidelines from an expert in childhood nutrition.

Can you imagine how good it will feel to have your child happily eat well and to be free of tantrums, family mealtime battles and wasted food!

End all your worries over your child’s unhealthy eating forever – whether you are just battling through a toddler’s pickiness or whether your child’s picky eating is so bad that they hardly eat anything

The need for food is biological but picky and problematic eating has more than doubled over the last decade. Did you realise that most eating behaviour is learned? Lifetime eating habits are usually fully established by the age of 8 years.

All children can learn healthy eating habits and all parents, with a little support, can teach them.

8. How to plan and create delicious meals, snacks and treats your children and whole family will love to eat

10. Key nutrition basics that you need to know as a parent to set your child up with the foundation of robust health

11. Information on the main nutrients required by your child and their specific role in your child’s growth and development

15. How to create optimal health outcomes for your child – physical, emotional and behavioural.

This eBook is the closest thing to having me right there in your home or in a one to one consultation.

Every family and each child is different and will have different likes, dislikes and specific requirements. In this e-book I have taken into account the uniqueness of each family situation and each child so there are many options and tools to cover all family situations.

My son is 21 months old and I was looking for some suggestions to help him eat. Mealtimes were a great source of frustration for me. So much so that anyone who visited at a mealtime would be asked to feed him, just to give me a break from the stress. I was really looking forward to reading your book and putting into practice your suggestions.

Your book gave me a much better understanding of the reasons he is probably a picky eater but also plenty of ideas of how to deal with it. Having nutritious snacks readily available all day was a good idea and certainly seems to be working. This is easy to do and I don’t…

The Bible of Cat Health Information Download

"An 87 year old Southern Belle on Her Death Bed Reveals the Truth About…

How to Have Happy, Healthy, Long-Living Cats… Without Spending a Penny on Vets, Medicines or Special Foods!


One of those typical, hot, hazy, mid-July afternoons in the South. We sat on the veranda that extended along the front and side of the two-story white home.

We sat at right angles to each other and our wicker rockers faced out over the lush green lawn. A warm breeze rustled the willow trees before wafting toward the house and cooling our skin.

Colorful gardens splashed the landscape as if they were dabbed on with an artist’s brush.

She paused to take a soothing drink and watched as a passing tractor kicked up dust on the road below.

She was a charming lady. Her eyes were bright and had a child-like twinkle that belied her 87 years.

As she spoke she gently stroked "Henrietta", her beloved feline companion who was nestled comfortably in her lap.

I was amazed and enthralled as I listened to Emma describe her colorful past and the fascinating history that wove in and around her life and that old estate.

It was some years after that when my own cat "Sunshine" was beginning to suffer from some strange medical condition. No one could figure it out. Not even the vets who just kept prescribing different medications (and running up a hefty bill!)

The conversation hadn’t been about cats at all. Everything else, in fact. But her cats … her cats were included in just about all of her stories throughout her entire life.

Looking back, it was so obvious. My goodness! "Henrietta" was almost 29 years old! "Old General" had lived to almost 40! The other 4 or 5 cats she owned at one time or another apparently all lived to be over 30 years old!

That 87 year old Southern Belle had discovered secrets to cat health and longevity!

How could I have missed it? I began to write down everything I could remember from that conversation.

When I was done writing I began to immediately do exactly what Emma did. I changed "Sunshine’s" diet and took care of her exactly like Emma would have.

And Sunshine is still with me and is as healthy and energetic as when she was a kitten.

Well my friend, if you love your cat, then this is the most exciting message you may ever read!

My name is Chantal Williams. Ever since the day I had that revelation about how to have healthy, happy, long-living cats … I’ve been on a mission. A mission to find out the truth about how to properly care for cats. The real truth … The whole truth… What really works …

More important, during this time, I’ve uncovered a lot of hidden treasures, hundreds of tips, techniques and secrets about caring for cats that no one else seems to know.

I’ve put these tips, techiques and secrets … along with all the "traditional" cat health information you’ll ever need … into a great guide … that will show YOU how to have a happy, healthy, long-living cat … without spending a penny on vets, medicines or "special" foods.

I wanted to know what I could do to help my cat live the life it was intended to live.

I’ve spoken to hundreds of people — from veterinarians to holistic healers, from nutritionalists to herbalists and breeders to successful cat owners.

Along the way I’ve learned a few things … actually, some little known, very interesting, insider secrets … that you need to know to properly care for your cat.

Funny thing happened too. Science finally "caught up" with that "down home" wisdom from Emma Johnson. Well, to be honest, the information may have been there all along and we weren’t using it or applying it properly. But what you will learn about the science of nutrition verifies that Emma was right all along!

Once I had gathered all of this critical information I realized that it just wouldn’t be fair to keep it private.

I love cats and I figured that to help as many as I could I had to share this information with other like-minded folks … like you. So I compiled it into a neat package just for people who love their cats … and called it Cat Health Secrets.

Did you know that most cats only live 10-12 years while their normal life expectancy should be 25-30 years! And we cause it! This premature death is entirely preventable!

Let’s take a short "breather". We’ll get back to more of what this remarkable book will teach you in just a moment.

If you are the type of person who always does what you’re told, who never questions anything … this book probably isn’t for you.

If most of your information about cat care comes from television advertisements and you truly believe that commercial pet food producers have the best interest of your cat at heart … this book probably isn’t for you.

If you are intimidated by authority figures like medical doctors, teachers or … vets … this book probably isn’t for you either.

Because the book call into question the "common wisdom". It asks you to at least consider the possibility that there may be another way. It will show you a whole new way of looking at some things.

No I don’t "go off" like some "rebel without a cause". Nor will the book have you out in the back yard sacrificing a chicken to cure your cat’s urinary tract infection …

If no one ever questioned "the way it’s always been done" and learn to think for themselves once in a while we’d still think the earth was flat! … or the sun revolved around the earth!

Come to think of it, if someone hadn’t questioned the current way of thinking hundreds of years ago….this might be your "reality"…

All of this might sound very bizarre to us today but they were all "real…
