Colin Wrennall

 

I am a Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Family Therapist with broad experience working with individuals, groups and organisations in both the public and private health systems. I have been in practice since 1990 and work with adults, adolescents and children. Treatment is purposeful and is targeted through assessment and goal focused processes in both brief intervention and long-term psychotherapy models.

I am currently working in my own private practice, Aurora Associates, where I see a range of clients: individuals, couples, families and children, whose therapy requirements range from long term psychotherapy, to short term, brief intervention counselling.
