ABOUT RUSS

Russell Voss

Russell Voss

I know what it’s like to feel endless throbbing pain, from thought ‘overload’ and stress.

In the year 2000, after a relationship bust-up, I found myself at the ‘T’ junction of life. During the ‘fall-out’ I started spiralling down and felt lost, alone, scared and had no idea what was actually happening to me. I didn’t know who to talk to or where to go, to get help. Nobody is taught how to identify these types of issues, let alone how to deal with them. Thankfully, I turned ‘right’ at my ‘T’ junction and not only lived to tell the tale, but vowed to understand what happened to me and to ‘be there’ for others, BEFORE they got to this place. This is my passion and purpose, and I can certainly guide you to a happier place also.

I know that relationships are not always straightforward and they don't come with an Instruction Manual!

I have chosen to work with men, in a relationship, with children, because this is where the most of the damage is done by social conditioning. If their relationship spirals down into the depths of despair, and ends with anger, sadness, fear and any other destructive behaviour, the children learn from these role-models and events and spend the rest of ‘their’ lives, dealing with this trauma and their behaviour also. Hence, the 63% divorce rate in Australia (ABS 2021)

MISSION: “To help couples heal their life, rediscover love and happiness and be amazing role-models for their children, for a happier community – globally.

VALUES: “My business is based around the values of empathy, unconditional love, integrity and compassion”.

I know that relationships are not always straightforward and they don’t come with an Instruction Manual!

Getting support through tough times is the smart thing to do, and alot of the time, when we can look at the role that ‘we’ play, and create a better version of ourselves, the changes this can bring, can make all the difference, not just for yourself, but for the people you interact with also.

I can give you the tools to move forward, and I have powerful processes that will speed this change up dramatically, on both conscious and unconscious levels.

“It takes COURAGE to make changes in life…but the rewards are astronomical”

If I can achieve transformation in my relationships…so can YOU!

From the year 1985, I’ve experienced several discontinued relationships, and I don’t use the word ‘failed’, because I learnt from everyone of them. They helped me to establish boundaries when there was abuse. Taught me that things don’t change when we get married and step families take dedication, understanding and negotiation. It’s ‘ok’ to maintain my integrity and my decisions, as discussed at the beginning of the relationship. That blending different Cultures can challenge your beliefs and values, and the lesson, of being able to part ways, ‘without’ anger or blame, and still love and respect the other person. However, the most invaluable lesson of all, is the understanding that ‘we are all, beautiful people, and doing the best we can, based on our life experience’.

To have an amazing relationship, I had to KNOW and HAVE, what qualities I was looking for in my partner, and develop a friendship and trust BEFORE allowing intimacy to totally mess with my hormones and thinking…and you know what…it actually works. These experiences were invaluable, and I am deeply passionate about sharing this with others and showing couples how to rediscover, what they had…in the beginning..

tailored to you.

powerful-techniques

I know the feeling of endlessly walking on eggshells in a relationship.

I will show you how to set boundaries, get your life back on track and create habits, routines and powerful techniques that you can incorporate into your daily routine, that you can use for the rest of your life.

It takes dedication and time to make long lasting change, so I can offer single sessions if there are minor challenges you would like to overcome.

For major life challenges, I provide an array of cost effective packages for a longer period.

My Life Transformational Mentoring

Relationships don’t come with an instruction manual and they can throw a lot at you. It’s normal to have life challenges, everyone has them, and there is absolutely no shame in asking for help, it’s actually the SMART thing to do. Working together in approx. 90min sessions, I will discuss what is happening for you, provide valuable education and utilise processes and will help you achieve your outcomes.

This type of therapy addresses relationship challenges, such as:

  • anger, abuse, blame and forgiveness
  • communication breakdown
  • grief and trauma
  • anxiety
  • differing opinions around family planning
  • lack of purpose or direction in the relationship
  • loss of trust and infidelity
  • poor boundaries

This kind of support & mentoring can help you:

  • feel uplifted, lighter and happier
  • feel healthier and energised
  • gain new hope and direction for your relationship
  • able to forgive and move forward
  • gain renewed purpose and raised self-esteem

Added benefits from the dedication and time you put in, could also result in the ceasing of addictions, weight loss, improved extended family relationships, career advancements, Spiritual development, personal development and the list goes on and on. It really IS, the smart thing to engage in.

IF I CAN DO IT…SO CAN YOU!

FAQs

Frequently Asked

Questions

How can your Therapy help me?

A whole range of relationship challenges can be overcome through education and the removal of the unconscious triggers. Even those that might seem overwhelming or impossible. These may be to do with communication, grief and loss, past and current trauma, confidence or anger and abuse. We will identify what you want to change about your relationship, identify the root causes and then work to remove or dissolve those.

How hard is it to make change?

We will set you up to make effective long-term changes. As with all therapy, mentoring or coaching, and even the gym, you will only get out, what you put in. Booking a session means you have already decided you want to make change, which is a big and smart step. Together we will identify the changes you want to make and then apply the strategies to get there. It may be challenging at times, but if you stick with it, the results can be truly amazing…believe me…and your children will be forever grateful to you!

Who do I work with?

My services are open to anyone, but most of my clients are men that have relationship issues and heading for separation or divorce. They have children and are around 35 years of age or older. Some have experienced previous relationship or family breakups, previous trauma. Some have had long-term struggles with anger. Some are just looking for a fresh perspective.

The people I work with are committed and seeking the tools to move forward personally or in their relationship, for building resilience, understanding and long-lasting positive changes. They have already decided to deal with their anger, fear, sadness or grief, that are creating their challenges.

Younger people can also benefit from my Mentoring. I have worked with people of all ages, from those in youth services and high schools, all the way through to those in aged care. I work with anyone who is serious about making changes to improve the quality of their life and relationships.

How long are the sessions?

Sessions generally run for approx. 90 minutes. Additional fees will apply to sessions over 120mins.

What is the duration of the sessions?

‘Profound’ results from this type of Therapy will require a commitment of around 3-5 sessions. This varies between each person or couple, depending on their discipline. We work together to determine how long sessions will go for. The more effort you put in, the better the outcome. However, the processes I use are very powerful and profound results have been seen after one or two session.

How often are the sessions?

It depends on your current situation. A good example is one sessions per week in the initial stages, then once per week, extending to once every two weeks in the latter stages.

How much are the sessions?

I only take a limited number of clients. The quality of the sessions come from over three decades of research, personal application and professional experience. Session packages vary in cost, depending on the amount of sessions required.

Do I do online sessions?

Yes. I do sessions via Mobile, WhatsApp, Zoom or Messenger, whatever is suitable for your needs.

Is there a Covid-safe plan in place?

Yes. Face to face sessions will only take place in person if it is deemed safe to do so based on the latest health advice. My Warrnambool premises undergoes regular cleaning and is cleansed thoroughly after each session. However, the majority of my clients are Australia-wide and have online Zoom session.

What is the booking process?

Please feel free to contact me via my ‘contact’ page. Thank you.
