Group Sessions
Couples Sessions
Things not going well? Is there a power imbalance? If you’re arguing more often than not and you can’t resolve your differences, maybe it’s time to get help. Are there power and control issues? Before you rush into anything, ask yourself these questions; What is the problem? How do I feel? How does my significant other feel? What do I want to happen? Duration up to two hours.
$150 per session.
Anger Management
Anger is normal. It’s like being happy or sad but sometimes disappointment, stress, negative thoughts and triggers become overwhelming so we need help. Counselling will present you with other perspectives. It will assist you to better deal with difficulty. Consists of three 1-hour sessions, short course.
$450 Flexible session times by appointment.
Post Separation Counselling
After separation can be a difficult time for everyone especially children who may experience a range of emotions. Working through conflict is never easy and after separation is a particularly trying time.
This counselling is for people who want to be the best parents they can be for their children.

Testimonials from our clients
EmmaJane
Excellent service, fantastic education program and incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate facilitator Frank Halabi.
Lez P
Calm environment to learn and grow as an individual with bad behaviour history. Great program if you want to speak up and change your ways. Became very assertive rather than aggressive.
Daniel L
Frank at Speak up group has different program that helps me from parenting to Men's behaviour change which has given me a lot of knowledge to help me to understand better way in a relationship which can help you to turn a bad situation around. I highly recommend this to a couple who find out they have tension in their relationship to join this group and even couples who are planning to get married or move together to join some sessions, it may help strengthen their relationships.
Andrew Parker
Frank's Men's Behaviour Change program has so far helped with a few tools I can use towards my relationships, it's also a good environment to talk about issues and things you're going through as he and the group are very open and honest.
Emori
My name is Emori and I have been coming to the Speak Up Men's Behaviour Change program for a couple of months now.
Anton Fleischer
Men’s behaviour change is a game-changer. Instead of going into a downward spiral of emotions when I felt like I was losing it, the program showed me how to take accountability and see the signs that were right in front of me that I was oblivious to, and how to handle them without resorting to violence.
Tamati Kahurangi
The course was very productive, enjoyed the group sessions immensely and have learnt a lot about myself and some of the behaviours I felt were ok in relationships, but now looking at it know that they were eroding my relationship with my partner, and since finishing this my time with her and my daughters is much happier and harmonious.
Thanks a lot Frank.
Fardin Megalos
I can't say enough about Men's Behaviour Change Group. Men's behaviour change has really helped me personally and really altered the way I deal with things when they start to get to me. I can now stop, think, assess and deal with the situation mindfully rather than just off the cuff and end up in me having to make amends.
Eileen Gao
My partner was initially apprehensive of your program and wasn't sure what he would gain from it. After just one session with Frank he was confident that he was able to learn and absorb all the information presented and looked forward to attending them. Can vouch that this is worthwhile for anyone to gain better insight into how they deal with relationships. Thank you!
Awad Khan
After just a few sessions my partner and kids saw a positive change, my friends also commented on my change in how I deal with things when they often would become overwhelming and how my patience had gone from zero at times to remaining calm and embracing better communication rather than resort to raising my voice or worse.
Mark Joseph
Time and money well spent. A well laid out program that embodies all the essential tools and concepts that can help you better deal with situations that can be stressful, relationships being a common one of these, even if you can't always see it. Thank you for being there for us.
