Family Therapy
As a family therapist Gloria sees each family as a system, and each person in it a part of an interconnected whole. Because of these connections, the consequences of one person’s actions and behaviour can affect the lives of all the people who are significantly related to them.
Gloria sees families of all kinds including children and specialises in working with separated and blended families. Gloria has a Masters in Clinical Family Therapy from La Trobe University and trained with the Bouverie Centre, Melbourne.
The collaborative law process allows both parties involved and their lawyers to enter into a contract not to go to court and to reach agreements to the benefit of the whole family.
