Managing strong emotion and reducing aggressive behaviour/reactions for  adults so family members are not scared and want to be close;

Getting on better in marriages and generating more love and intimacy;

Taking responsibility for wounding behaviour and making effective attempts to repair a wounded relationship;

Handling parenting challenges better;

To get an idea of the specialised skill development Owen pursues some of his professional development record is here.




Owen does NOT specialise in some fields and and lacks training and experience in the areas of:

Pregnancy termination counselling

Fixed delusional thoughts

Serious or life threatening eating disorders

Polyamory

Gender identity or sexual preference issues. (a client’s preferred goals in this area will be respected and not determined by the therapist if counselling is still sought)

Intravenous street drug use

RIsky alcohol use if the potential client will not seek involvement in an outpatient alcohol and other drug programme

Gender transition

Psychometric testing for assessing specific learning difficulties

People younger that 18 (NB Privacy Laws now require files of children be held until the former client is 25 years old; whilst the clinician has many years experience counselling this age group I am too close to retirement to be able to handle subpoenas into my senior years)
