Private Coaching · 1:1 · Chatswood, Sydney

You’re waiting on a change that might never happen.

You keep repeating the same patterns that ultimately affect your relationship. As much as you understand your own past, you still can’t find a way to respond with your true intention.

You may recognise this

You keep having the same argument, just with different words.

  • Your jaw tightens.
  • You go quiet.
  • You over-explain.
  • You say yes reluctantly.
  • You reach for your phone after the tension.

You can’t change what happens. But you can change how you respond.

Let me explain…

What people noticed afterwards

Awareness creates choice.

These are the changes people who trained with Harrison say they noticed, as written to him or said on camera.

What happens in the session

Pause. Recognise. Choose.

One recent moment with one person who matters to you. Sharing is optional.

  1. 01 Choose

    Pick the moment.

    One relationship, one recent incident.

  2. 02 Pause

    Feel your feet. Take a breath.

    A moment before anything else.

  3. 03 Recognise

    Notice what is showing up.

    What do I notice in my body?

  4. 04 Practise

    Rehearse something different.

    Choose when you will practise it.

You leave with the tools to see what is happening inside you, and what stands between you and saying what you actually mean.

Most people can already name their patterns. What they lack is the space to express themselves, and a way to practise. In the end, it comes down to practice.

For example

Early signal
My jaw tightens
Usual reaction
I defend myself
Alternative
I pause and ask what they meant

Straight answers

Before you apply.

What does it cost?

The session is $60. If by the end you decide it is not for you, you get a full refund.

Do I have to share?

No. Sharing is optional. You choose one relationship and one recent, manageable moment, and how much of it you say out loud is up to you.

Why apply, rather than just book?

Harrison keeps a small number of 1:1 sessions and reads every application himself. He calls you first, a short conversation. Nothing to prepare.

Is this therapy?

No. This is coaching. It is not therapy, diagnosis or emergency care, and it is not a replacement for any of them. If you are in crisis, contact Lifeline on 13 11 14.

Do I need to have trained before?

No. Plenty of people arrive having never trained. The practice is adapted to the person in front of me.

What if Harrison is fully booked?

You are first for the next opening. An application is never wasted.
