It was the best thing that happened to me in a long time. Within a few weeks of working with Nicole I felt so much better and had more clarity about what really mattered. I finally felt like I was moving forward in life again, making changes to my mental attitudes, my emotions were becoming less overwhelming, and things started to improve at work. I think a lot of this was due to having a much clearer head, feeling less overwhelmed by emotions and making better decisions than before. Things have improved so much, I can honestly say I am a totally different person now. I highly recommend Nicole for anyone experiencing high levels of stress or overwhelm.

It dealt with my individualist needs and he really paid attention to detail. Rob over delivered on his promise. He exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend him.

I joined Rob's coaching program, with a series of goals in mind. I wanted to become more…read morecharismatic and achieve deeper connections with others, I wanted to be a story teller and to be the life of the party, I wanted to be rid of self-doubt, fear and anxiety and I wanted to be able to confidently approach, speak to and date women. I saw myself as someone who was wasting potential and I wanted to challenge myself and pull myself out of my comfort zone, to become the best version of myself that I could be. The moment I decided to follow through with coaching was when I saw Rob himself talking to others and making meaningful connections. The way he carried himself, his body language, his strong eye contact, the emotion he evoked out of others and most of all the positive energy he bought around the table was infectious. I was in awe and thought to myself 'this is kind of person I want to be like'. When I told close family and friends about the coaching I was receiving I expressed to them that it wasn't so much that coaching was to fix my problems but that I was taking coaching as a way to invest in myself. I was extremely driven and determined to improve multiple areas of my life and through coaching rather than looking at it as a process to 'fix things' I explained that it's an exciting ride of learning things about yourself that you didn't know existed. Learning to be in tune with your self being given tools, techniques and lessons to improve yourself and as a result a more fulfilled life. The growth I've personally made receiving coaching from Rob has been immeasurable. For the majority of my life I have been quite introverted and shy by nature, I struggled to maintain eye-contact coupled with closed off body language I was extremely reserved and unapproachable. I used to dread going to social outings, always with the mindset praying for it to be over, finding myself mentally exhausted. Now I find myself excited to connect with others, getting to know other people, having great self-confidence and building meaningful relationships. My big moment of realisation of what I had achieved was when I was at a social function. A friend of mine pointed out that they couldn't imagine me as passive or introverted, that was the trigger that made me realise almost the entire evening I was telling stories, engaging with people I hadn't met before and was being the 'life of the party'. It was this moment that made me think to myself 'look how far you've come'. What I was most surprised about was how the results in coaching happened more naturally and incidentally in my day to day life. After conversing with others I'd realise once the conversation had ended that I applied techniques learned from coaching without really even thinking about it. For example the first couple of months after receiving coaching I noticed I was putting more emotion into conversations, telling stories, listening intently, I even found that I managed to open someone up emotionally who was unconsciously 'blocking' conversation due to socially learned habits. It was these 'aha' moments that allowed me to appreciate and continue the exciting coaching process with Rob.

They have slandered and vilified me and even tried to discredit me in public where my business would have been in jeopardy. This has gone on for two years over a simple FB response to a meme. Having agreed to go to family counselling after two years, I was hoping for a little bit of remorse on their part - but found instead that they have doubled down, given me an ultimatum to plead 'guilty' to their judgement, and the Psychologist Ross Leembruggen was an an absolute bully - he totally took the kids 'side' and treated me like a piece of crap for almost an hour. I, my pain, my feelings and the inherent unfairness of what was being done to me was totally invalidated by him - and the kids lies were adopted as if they were gospel truths that I needed to listen to, accept and validate. I felt as though I was in Stalinist Russia - my 'guilt' was pre-established and all I needed to do was agree to it. Having de facto lost my kids was a shock as it was about the most trivial of things - but this guy didn't even think my concerns were worth considering - kept telling me that I wasn't 'listening' to what was being said. I listened alright and I concluded that Dr. Leembruggen has narcissistic tendencies and he totally identified with my son and daughter's tendencies in the same direction. Leembruggen appeared to be threatened by my level of self-esteem and clearly aimed to reduce that for his own reasons. IF YOU WISH TO BE PSYCHOLOGICALLY BEATEN UP AND INSJULTED for your personality, achievements and your successes in life, and even your tone of voice, visit this guy - he'll soon drag you down. I am in grief as an abused and bereaved elder and there is no-one in my circle of friends who doesn't see and understand the horror of what my kids have done to me on a whimsical pretext - except this so called 'Family Counsellor'. He has no insight into his own bullying character, is probably ideologically captured (hence subjugated to permissible 'groupthink'), and when I told him it didn't actually feel like 'therapy' to me he only became more belligerent.

I was first referred to Psychology Melbourne a few years ago and hadn't thought to write a review…read moreat the time, but on reflection it's one of the best things I've ever done for my mental health. It's not cheap, so I would recommend seeing a GP first for a mental health plan to get a referral for around 8-10 sessions partly covered by Medicare. I saw Dr. Nicole Chavannes, with a view to keep off any medication and deal with some issues I was struggling with. I have had some previous experience with psychologists where I didn't feel heard, but was able to talk very openly and honestly with Nicole without ever feeling judged or brushed off. She did warn me I may feel worse before I felt better and that's exactly what happened. She asked all the right questions and unearthed a lot of pain I didn't even realise I was carrying around, which at the time felt horrible but ultimately helped me move on from what I was dealing with. Just before I completed my last session I was made redundant very suddenly from a job I enjoyed. I cancelled my appointment because I had lost my income and Nicole herself rang me to make sure I was ok and offered to arrange a bulk billed session if I needed to come in and chat about it. I definitely felt like my health and wellbeing was put first, which I hadn't experienced at other clinics and the main reason why I put off seeing someone for so long. I feel comfortable enough to come back here again to tackle any problems or general 'ickiness' and would happily recommend them. They also run group classes on relationships and other mental health issues, which are cheaper to attend than private counseling and more educational than group therapy if you don't want to share with others.

Had a great treatment with Nicole. Was seen promptly and I felt very comfortable the whole time…read more Will be back again.
