Vision Phoenix Consultancy

Vision Phoenix Consultancy was established in 1997 to provide psychological and educational services to people who wanted to make significant changes to their lives. Initially the service catered for adults, adolescents and children experiencing difficulties with relationships, poor self esteem, anxiety, depression, trauma, phobias and a range of other emotionally debilitating conditions. Later, psychological and educational assessments were offered to children who were encountering difficulties with learning.

Support was provided through:

• psychological consultations to individuals, couples and families

• a lending library of books and articles that were reader friendly

• courses designed specifically for the needs of clients such as conflict resolution, negotiation, goal setting and so on and

• by referral to other therapists who could assist with some of the physical effects of the problems being experienced.

Massage therapists, for example, could provide relief from muscular tension created by anxiety, kinesiologists provided body balance, naturopaths were able to assist with nutrition and homeopathic remedies.

In 2009, Principal Psychologist and Trainer, Elizabeth Collins, in reviewing the business needs of Vision Phoenix Consultancy, decided to move the focus from therapeutic interventions, to Life Coaching, personal development and well-being programs.

These programs were designed for people who, while not experiencing major psychological problems, were not as fulfilled in their lives as they would like to be.

The Personal Power Through Life Coaching Program offers you the opportunity to:

- review your life,

- set clear, realistic and achievable goals,

- let go of beliefs that hold you back and

- free yourself from past mistakes.

It takes you through a series of levels so that you can gain a deeper understanding of your values, your personality and one of the most powerful influences on your thoughts, actions and feelings - your unconscious mind.

Over time, the program will be added to by a series of audio and visual materials that expand upon what you have learned. You will be able to choose the area that you would like to know about in greater detail - whether it be managing your money and increasing your wealth, improving your relationships or the many
ways to manage stress in an increasingly complex and demanding world. 

Elizabeth Collins

Elizabeth helps you plan and design the life you want. Too many people become stuck in a life that is not of their conscious choosing. It happens when you are not clear about what you want, when you aim for the impossible or when you try for the achievable but your plan is poor or non-existent.

She facilitates the changes you want through high powered learning that takes you from the desire to the reality.

Elizabeth has a passion for learning, teaching and behavioural change. She attended the University of Sydney where she gained her BA and MA in Psychology and her Diploma in Education.

As her interests expanded beyond the individual and the family to wider systems, she studied organisations and completed her thesis: The Counselling Styles of Australian Managers gaining her MA in Management at The Graduate School of Management, Macquarie University.

Learning has been an ongoing part of her life. Going beyond the traditional requirements of professional development in psychology and education, Elizabeth has embraced studies in Buddhism, Meditation, Yoga, and has explored the basic workings underpinning complementary therapies such as Kinesiology and Bach Flower Essences.

Her studies in the more traditional fields of her profession include
Family Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Emotional Freedom Technique, NLP, Conflict Resolution and Accelerated Learning and Mind Mapping.

All these skills are used in the Life Coaching Program and the products generated from this program.
