MONIQUE RUTHERFORD Somatic Attachment Focused Expressive Therapy® & Training, Mullumbimby, NSW

Imbalanced. Predatory. This counsellor takes sides. This person, acting as a counsellor, formed judgements and took a strong one sided position in a situation between two families. This effected a mother child/ child mother relationship. This counsellor continued to see a child, despite the non consent of the mother, who needed support in her relationship with her child rather than further persuasive adversity. Monique acted in a way that was emotionally involved, judgemental, biased and controlling, dangerously inflaming a situation rather than de-escalating, supporting, listening, caring.
