Counselling in 3002

I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with more than 15 years experience working in the area of Trauma. I have experience working with adults who have suffered from childhood sexual abuse, physical abuse and neglect, as well as those who have been affected by a recent traumatic event. I have a particular interest in trauma and how it impacts on a person's ability to have a harmonious relationships with themselves and others. https://www.breathcounselling.com.au/

I work with adolescents and adults who are experiencing challenges with how they relate to themselves, others and their environment. I value my clients as unique individuals and aim to foster a sense of hope, determination and resilience in people to make positive changes in their lives in whatever capacity is meaningful to them. I work a lot with people to help them identify, manage and regulate difficult emotions. This also involves a deeper understanding of emotional reactions and an opportunity to benefit from learning from past experiences.

Life can be challenging - professionally and personally. Having worked in corporate, private and forensic environments, I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to address current situations and work towards a better life. I love learning about my clients - and tailoring my knowledge/skill based to assist to achieve positive outcomes reduced anxiety, improved sleep, mood, self-esteem/sef-efficacy, phobias, eating disorder and interpersonal effectiveness. Combining counselling, biofeedback/neurofeedback, EMDR & VR to help provide you greater understanding of yourself and others, increased skills and coping strategies.

I see individuals, couples, families and other groups who are seeking help with a range of both individual and interpersonal psychological issues.

Integrative psychotherapy is delivered interpersonally and is well suited for individuals with developmental and/or relational trauma and neglect. I'm warm in my approach and endeavour to create a collaborative and attuned therapeutic relationship, one which prioritises an experience of feeling safe and understood. I hold a strong perspective that psychotherapy has dynamic potential for change and well-being, with this perspective being continually reinforced through my own continued journey, research and training.

In 1997 at RCH I set up groups for socially isolated teens with ASD, anxiety, shyness, bullying, sensory deficits, cognitive & receptive language deficits & so on. Teens say that they enjoy the "judgement free space", the belonging. Their confidence grows in the groups. Parents say that they are keen and organised to come to the groups, it is the highlight of their week. They relax. I delved into the needs of socially isolated teens through my Psychodrama thesis called "Friends Are The Best Medicine". I also run Tuning Into Kids/Teens groups for parents & Family Therapy. Telehealth is available for kids/teens/parent/families!

I draw from a range of psychological theories and techniques to fit with clients’ needs as each person's experience is unique. My focus is to foster a collaborative, respectful and empathic therapeutic relationship with clients to support them in developing the insights and emotional shifts that are necessary for lasting therapeutic change.

I am passionate about helping individuals heal from incidents they have experienced as traumatic. I have a particular interest in working with first responders and veterans, as well as those who have encountered distressing interpersonal difficulties, often within their family of origin.

I am a fully registered counselling psychologist with over 20 years experience working with individuals, couples, families, and elderly clients. My aim is to help clients develop therapeutic goals and work with them to achieve lasting change. Drawing on my own experience of life transitions, I bring a personal perspective to counselling, helping people from different cultural backgrounds. My approach is friendly and practical in order to create a safe and comfortable environment in which to explore difficulties and realise positive change.

My approach to treatment takes its direction from experience, both in the lived sense and specifically in terms of psychoanalysis (having undergone an analysis and formation as an analyst). My practice pays particularly close attention to the person him or herself, the dynamic cultivated in the session, and am far less interested in peripheral issues such as diagnosis.

Managing stress and changing behaviour is a complex matter. It can be even tougher when you try to do it alone. My clients are looking for the tools to manage their situation effectively and bring about positive behaviour change and improved performance. The people I work with want the power that comes from combining the best elements of coaching, positive psychology with the best therapeutic practices, including both traditional and state of the art methods. They want both coaching support and clinical expertise to help them cope, build their resilience and ultimately thrive across a range of complex situations and experiences.

I support clients who have challenges in depression, anxiety, stress, managing health concerns or trauma symptoms. My clients would want to be supported and break out of the chains put on by the current challenges to achieve their goals in life.

I am a bilingual psychologist (English and Greek) working with anxiety, social anxiety, phobias, depression, trauma, attention deficits, autism, grief and loss, chronic pain, relationship and family difficulties, life transitions, and workplace stress. I also work with bullying, social skills difficulties and self-esteem. Deciding to engage in therapy can sometimes feel overwhelming and this is normal. I offer a safe, non-judgemental and supportive therapeutic space to help you move forward in your journey of healing and growth. I believe in empowering clients and developing personal strengths to achieve long lasting change.

I work with couples and individuals who want to actively engage in change to help them gain insight into themselves and the world, using their emotional reactions, thoughts and feeling. I believe people attain the greatest well-being through self- and other- acceptance. Understanding repetitive unwanted interactional patterns can help people step out of the fray and gain meta-perspective which helps them to make different choices moving forward. I don't work with couples when there are serious issues of power and control, interpersonal violence (physical or emotional). I do not write Court reports or serve as an expert witness.

My passion is helping adults improve their psychological health and wellbeing. Many people today feel overwhelmed by work, family, study, relationships, health, pain, adjustment to life changes and other personal issues. Key areas of interest are stress, anxiety, panic, depression, and health issues. I’ve assisted adults from various ages, abilities, cultural backgrounds, occupations, and sexualities.

I help people like you every day. Any couple can increase their couple bond. A great relationship is the gateway to a happy home life, increased work productivity and a no-regrets existence.

Currently open for new referrals. I work from an understanding that many of life's concerns stem from our past experiences in relationships and the structural difficulties that are present in our society. This organizes the way I understand peoples experience and distress and how I seek to understand how we are in relationship, and what fixed patterns get in the way of living a more meaningful and enriching life. I work with warmth and curiosity to help develop a deeper understanding of your area of concern and better make sense of why particular patterns might be causing distress.
