I have more than nine years experience working as a counsellor.
I have worked as a relationship counsellor for Relationships Australia where I counselled both couples (straight, gay, lesbian, married, defacto, dating) and individuals, on all matters of the heart.
I possess an Honours degree in psychology.
I really enjoy being able to assist others to become more self-aware, and to feel good about themselves and their relationships.
I currently run an online counselling service (www.daleecounsel.com.au) which offers web based counselling sessions for personal, relationship and family issues via live chat and email.
PERSONAL DETAILS
Although I am now happily married, like most, I have experienced the pain of heartbreak, and the highs and lows of life and love in general. From these experiences, I know firsthand just how much of a difference the perspective and concern of others can make.

Do you think my ex wants to terminate our friendship as well???
Q. Hoping someone can help me out here. My boyfriend broke up with me about a year ago but we have remained casual friends, email occasionally but no physical contact. He emailed me today and said since he had been nothing but problems for me (not ...
A. 2 March 2008: Hi Ultimately, I guess you will have to accept it is his prerogative to end your friendship, if that is what he wants. From your post, however, I can see that ending the friendship is clearly not your preference. Let him know that. Tell him that... (read in full...)
I don't know what she's doing on her nights out...
Q. I need to bounce this senario of you. What do you think is happening or what I should say or do about it? My girlfriend of 5 months goes out with work friends once or twice a month, problem is I don't know who they are, or where she goes. To make ...
A. 2 March 2008: Hi I would encourage you to talk to your girlfriend about your concerns, but do not 'demand' (or even ask) her to change her behaviour at this point. Such a request would be premature and motivated by your own fears and insecurities, which may not ... (read in full...)
Does he like me or does he have a girl in every town??
Q. So, how do you tell if a man likes you for more than just sex? When this guy i have had a short long distance relationship with(it was supposed to be a one night stand, or so i thought)and i met up last weekend, he had roses waiting for me. Gr...
A. 11 February 2008: Hi
From what you have shared (e.g., his communication with you between 'hook ups', his offer to help you move, and his gift of the roses) there definitely seems to be signs that the man you are seeing is interested in you, beyond the bedroom.... (read in full...)
Could my cousin be bi and have feelings for me??
Q. I'm a 13 year old girl and I need people's advice. I think my 17-year old cousin is bi or someting or maybe she has feelings for me. Whenever I sign on msn she always clicks me and says hey or hi. What do you think?...
A. 6 February 2008: Hi
Based on the information provided, I would have to agree with you that your cousin probably does have feelings for you; feelings of friendship, that is.
I imagine that there may be quite a few other people who say hi or hey to you on MSN (i... (read in full...)
How can I respond sensibly to my girlfriend when she asks why I look at porn sometimes?
Q. Hi this looks like a nice site. Hoping I can get some sensible advice. I'm living with my girlfriend, and we have been talking about getting married. Been together more than 2 years. She can be cool, knows I go to strip clubs with the guys some ti...
A. 6 February 2008: Hi
It sounds like you really care about your girlfriend and want to reassure her that your porn usage isn't a problem, right? This may be tricky, given that you know it already IS a problem in her eyes.
Only you know what need/s your behavio... (read in full...)
I'm in love with a man who's 14 years older than me, and he's married.
Q. I'm in love with a man who's 14 years older than me, and he's married. He seemed attracted but I cannot speak for him, so I will just speak for myself. I feel really sad about it, and everyone came hard down on me for it and stuff, telling me to ...
A. 3 February 2008: Hi
I'm a little unclear as to the details of your situation, but what I do gather is that you are feeling alienated by people's negative reaction to your 'friendship' with this man. The other point I pick up on is that you seem to be craving the ... (read in full...)
Why won't he call?
Q. I have been talking with my new love interest - a man who so far I like a lot. We have had at least 10 phone calls. I must say that I have initiated around 7 of these phones calls... I called him first. I made the last 3 calls... ending ...
A. 3 February 2008: Relationships by their very nature need to be based on reciprocity and mutual interest. Right now it sounds like your relationship is not very reciprocal at all and, as a result, you are [understandably] unsure as to whether there is mutual ... (read in full...)
He sabotages my efforts, and the time I spend with my kids! Is he abusing me?
Q. My boyfriend and I are having huge problems. I think he's abusing me.(not physically but emotionally)He's 50. And I am finding out he has some possession and control head problems. These issues seem to come out more whenever my family come around. ...
A. 3 February 2008: Hi Good on you for standing your ground. You need to be able to parent your son in the way that you see fit. You should not have to justify or defend your choice to provide your son with the help, guidance and caring, which you see he requires... (read in full...)
How can I pick myself up and regain my pride after ruining a fun relationship?
Q. Hi. I've just been through a break up that was mostly my own fault. I said something stupid, and so she dumped me. I'm left feeling stupid and embarrassed by it. How can I pick myself up and move on? I really hate that I have to accept responsib...
A. 3 February 2008: Hi
Unfortunately, you have just experienced firsthand that the consequence of reckless or thoughtless words/behaviour can be the loss of relationship you value. A tough lesson I know, but it will stand you in good stead for your future relation... (read in full...)
Should I go through with this marriage?
Q. I need help! I have been living with my fiance the past 2 years and engaged for 1 year. We are supposed to get married in 4 months! I just found out from a friend he cheated on me the first year and a half we were together. He has now admitted to ...
A. 2 February 2008: Hi This is a tough one and my heart goes out to you. I can understand how torn you must be feeling right now. The decision you are faced with (whether to leave the relationship or to go ahead with your plans to marry) is quite literally a life c... (read in full...)
I just don't feel we are functional together...what should I do??
Q. I am having trouble deciding what to do in my current relationship. My boyfriend and I have been together for a year and a half. We have been having trouble (miserable around each other) and I moved out of his place into my mother's. He wants to...
A. 2 February 2008: Hi Somehow I suspect you already know what you need to do for yourself and your future. Perhaps moving out of your boyfriends was an important first step in creating some distance and regaining some perspective? I think you show a lot of insigh... (read in full...)

A. 2 February 2008: Thank you for your post. I agree with the other answers which state that you are being badly treated, and that you definitely deserve better. I am not, however, convinced that you should leave - not yet at least. You do, after all, share two kids ... (read in full...)

Q. Will try to keep this short. In essence, husband had a three year emotional affair with my next door neighbour (and friend). I found out when I discovered text messages from her on his phone twp days before our baby was due to be born. We are ...
A. 2 February 2008: Hi there I am sorry to hear that you have to work through this current hurt, but commend you on your commitment to your marriage, capacity for forgiveness, and belief in your future. People who are well adjusted and who are able to take personal re... (read in full...)
Whose problem is it, that cheating happened without one of the involved parties knowing the other was committed?
Q. So I slept with my ex again, and it just so happens it was her first night back in town after break from school. We were at a party and she invited me to her house..... After a couple of days I texted her just to see what she was up to, having not ...
A. 2 February 2008: The way I see it, it is the two people in the relationship (in this case your ex and her current boyfriend) who have a responsibility to protect and be loyal to that relationship. As a third party to the relationship, who was not even aware of it... (read in full...)

Discovered noncommital boyfirend digs porno: is that why there is problems?
Q. For some reason, my boyfriend has always differed in only one sense regarding having a Christian relationship . . . sex. He is more liberated, claims it is beautiful between two people who love each other, yet believes marriage is not necessary. I ...
A. 2 February 2008: Attitudes towards, its usage, and the meaning placed on pornography seems to vary widely among relationships (and, of course, individuals). What is right for one couple is not right for the next. Some couples view pornography together and see it as ... (read in full...)
