If any of this feels familiar,
you’re in the right place
- Anxiety or low mood is quietly taking over more of your days, and “just relax” isn’t working
- Your child or teenager is withdrawn, angry, or struggling, and you don’t know how to reach them
- You’re worried about your teen’s eating and feel powerless to help
- Your relationship keeps hitting the same argument on repeat, and closeness feels harder to find
- Your family feels tense, disconnected, or stuck in conflict
- You feel like something deeper is going on, with your child or with you, and you want answers
- You’re exhausted from “trying harder” without anything really changing
It’s easy to believe you’re failing. But maybe you’re just worn out.
Why “pushing through” hasn’t worked
You’ve probably told yourself to try harder. Talk better. Wait it out. But whether it’s anxiety, your teen, an eating disorder, or your relationship, here’s what I’ve learned in 20 years:
You’re not failing. You’re stuck in a pattern. And patterns don’t break with effort. They break when someone helps you see them.
When you feel overwhelmed or unsafe, at home or inside your own head, your body takes over. And it always looks the same:
Real change starts when someone who’s seen it a thousand times names your pattern out loud.
None of this is a quick fix. The work that follows is genuinely hard. But it’s hard work that actually goes somewhere, instead of the exhausting kind that keeps you in the same place.
What is the free consultation?
A private 15-minute phone call with me, Glenn Munt. I’ve been doing this for over 20 years. It’s not therapy that drags on for months. It’s not surface-level advice. It’s a real conversation about what’s going on with you.
min
You share your story
Tell me what’s going on, in your own words. No forms. No jargon. No judgement.
min
We talk about your direction from here
We’ll talk honestly about what’s going on and the direction that could work best for you from here.
min
You leave with a next step
You get a clear next step. Maybe that’s a session with me. Maybe it’s something else. Your call.
Most people tell me the same thing after a first session: they feel calmer, and more hopeful than they have in a long time.
Whatever you’re facing, the first step is the same
I help with all of this. You don’t need to know which box you fit in. That’s what the call is for.
Anxiety
Constant worry, racing thoughts, that weight on your chest that won’t lift.
Depression
Low mood, flatness, or losing interest in the things that used to matter.
Child & Adolescent Counselling
A young person who’s withdrawn, angry, anxious or struggling, at home or at school.
Adolescent Eating Disorders
Your child is struggling with food and you feel powerless. This is exactly what I specialise in.
Couples & Relationship Counselling
Same arguments, growing distance, or feeling together but alone.
Family Therapy
Tension, conflict or disconnection that’s affecting the whole household.
General Counselling
Everything’s piled up and you just need somewhere to start.
Not sure what you need?
Perfect. Tell me what’s happening and I’ll point you in the right direction. That’s the whole point of the free call.
What to expect from your first session
If the idea of a first session makes you a little nervous, good. That means it matters to you. Nearly everyone who sits down with me feels it, and it almost always settles within the first few minutes. Here’s how I run it, so nothing catches you off guard.
Most people tell me the same thing afterward: they feel lighter, like they’d finally said it out loud to someone.
But what do I even say?
You don’t need a script, a diagnosis, or a tidy story. “I’m not really sure where to start” is how a lot of these calls begin, and it’s a perfectly good place to start.
Just tell me, in plain words, what’s been going on. If it comes out as a bit of a jumble, that’s alright. Making sense of the jumble is my job, not yours.
I ask the questions. All you have to do is answer as honestly as you can. Whatever it was that made you book is reason enough to be on the call.
There’s no wrong way to do this. Just pick up when I ring.
Who this is for
Maybe one of these sounds like you:
That’s what this fifteen minutes is for.
No pressure, no big commitment, just a real conversation to help you figure out where to go from here.
G’day, I’m Glenn

Don’t take my word for it. Take theirs.
“Glenn is truly a phenomenal human being. I’d recommend him to anyone. Such a kind, caring, thoughtful, gentle & insightful man. His experience goes well beyond his years. Glenn’s approach I would describe as relaxed yet professional. Truly one in a billion!”
“I’m really glad I found Glenn. He’s helped me work through a debilitating grief and find better ways of coping with anxiety and stress. I particularly value his insight, experience, compassion, humility, wisdom and sense of humour.”
“Glenn was easy to talk to and confident he could help us to improve our relationship. The exercises we practiced in sessions were really helpful and focused on teaching us other, more productive ways to resolve our issues. Our relationship has never been better or closer. We highly recommend Glenn and Thinking Families.”
“Can’t recommend Glen and the team at Thinking Families high enough.”
Here’s the worst that can happen
You spend 15 minutes on the phone. It’s free. You hang up knowing more than you did before.
That’s the downside.
The upside? I name the pattern you’re stuck in and tell you straight whether I can help. If you want to keep going, sessions come with Medicare rebates, flexible hours and weekends.
No pressure to continue. No lock-in. No awkward upsell.
Either way, you win. You literally cannot lose.
Every reason you’re about to talk yourself out of this
I’ve heard them all. Here’s my honest answer to each one.
“Will therapy actually be hard?”
Honestly? Yes. Therapy is bloody hard work. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something.
But here’s the thing. What you’re doing right now is hard too. The difference is, the hard work of therapy actually gets you somewhere. In the long term, you know you’ll feel better. Staying stuck just gets you more of the same.
And the call itself? That part’s easy. It’s 15 minutes of talking. Start there.
“I should be able to handle this myself”
You’ve been handling it yourself. That’s exactly why you’re this tired.
You wouldn’t set your own broken arm. Getting help from someone who’s done this for 20 years isn’t weakness. It’s just the faster way through.
“It’s not bad enough yet”
You don’t need to hit rock bottom to deserve help. In fact, the earlier you call, the easier the work is.
Waiting until it’s “bad enough” just means doing this later, from a worse starting point, more worn out than you are now.
“What’s this going to cost me?”
The call costs nothing. Zero. And you don’t owe anything after it.
If you decide to book sessions later, Medicare and private health rebates can cover a good chunk. I’ll tell you exactly what you’d pay on the call, so there are no surprises.
“I don’t have time for this”
The call is 15 minutes, and I call you, at a time you pick. Booking takes under a minute.
If you go ahead with sessions, there are flexible hours and weekend appointments. Think about how much time the problem itself is already costing you every week.
“Talking to a stranger feels weird”
It does. For about two minutes. Then it’s usually a relief.
Read the reviews above. “Easy to talk to” comes up every single time. And sometimes a stranger is exactly what you need. Someone with no side to take and nothing to gain from telling you anything but the truth.
“I’ve tried counselling before and it didn’t work”
Then you already know the wrong fit wastes your time. That’s exactly why this starts with a free call, so you can hear how I work before you spend a cent.
If I’m not the right fit, I’ll tell you that too, and point you somewhere better. No hard feelings.
“My partner won’t come” / “My teen refuses to talk to anyone”
You don’t need them on board to make the call. Come alone.
I’ve spent 20 years working with reluctant partners and teens who “don’t do therapy.” I’ll tell you how to approach it. And often, one person changing the pattern is enough to shift the whole thing.
“Is it confidential?”
Yes. Everything you say on the call stays between us. Same as it would in a session.
Your details are only used to arrange the call. Nothing else.
“Do I need a referral or mental health care plan?”
Not for the call. Just book it. No GP visit, no paperwork.
If you go ahead with sessions and want Medicare rebates, I’ll walk you through exactly what you need. It’s simpler than you think.
“What if I don’t know what to say?”
Then say that. “I don’t really know where to start” is how half these calls begin.
I ask the questions. Your only job is to answer honestly. There’s no way to do it wrong.
