we are updating our website over the next few days, so things a little skewiff .. please ring 043 555 0084 or email us at info@hobajing.com.au for up to date information
we are more than one choice or age or event but sometimes the echos of a singular experience can be so loud that it renders the rest of our lives, our knowledges and our successes invisible. At hobajing, we call that a problem story, and its power can feel like no other story will ever told.
sometimes the problem story doesn't even come from our own experiences but from a heavy consuming fog stalking us through birth, gender, culture, religion and other terrains.
by combining your expertise (after all it is your story) with our skills in engagement, reflective practices and narrative therapies, we bring the problem story out into a space where you can openly speak about your fears, desires and frustrations and then, if you're up for it, explore how to do more of what works for you and less of what doesn't.
live sessions are available face to face in Robertson NSW or by phone, Zoom or Teams. There are also offline options with a three day or seven day turnaround using Slack, email, Dropbox and even snailmail. All delivery modes are available for counselling and live delivery is available for cultural supervision and professional supervision. See below for more info on services or click here to learn a little more about our style.
.. often it doesn't. I am a female Aboriginal Australian over 50 and have supported many clients with different faiths, birthplaces, genders and ages. Sometimes though it is the client who feels they can more open if the counsellor has gone through what they have.
I know what it's like to be born during the stolen generations, during the times when girls and boys were the only recognised genders, when there was no white passing and when teen pregnancy was worse than bank robbery. I have overcome addictions, self loathing, divorce and many other adventures. I don't agree that there is more benefit in talking with someone who shares certain values or experiences, but I do encourage people to find the type of counselling that they need. If my sharing of my life helps yolu with that, I see it as a benefit.
