Counselling in 3068

A wish to get better, and a willingness to look inside oneself. These are the only essentials for success in therapy. I enjoy helping people with OCD and rumination to regain a sense of agency over their mind, people with depression to understand what is happening inside themselves that is causing their suffering and free themselves from it, people with PTSD to feel safe again and gain self-compassion and heal their nervous system, people with difficulty in relationships to understand what is happening and operate more smoothly, and helping people with many other difficulties to heal and move forward.

Counselling needs gradual growth. In holding a space for clients, I use a compassionate and respectful approach listening for those next steps you are wanting to take. Creating a vocabulary around our experiences can be a challenging task following its rewards as we get closer to becoming unstuck from intense emotional dysregulation. Perhaps it helps us to move through whatever life has in store with compassion and understanding. As a counsellor with 7 years of experience I have helped clients through navigating ambiguous self-talk that can often be the result of our life experiences. In my experience this has led to change in

I have a warm, collaborative approach, and adapt therapy to suit my client's needs. I can help with anxiety, mood issues, trauma in all its manifestations, postpartum issues, identity issues, substance use issues, relationship & attachment, burnout & workplace stress.

My special interests include psychological trauma, burnout and vicarious trauma, coping styles, attachment/relationships, PTSD and anxiety issues.

Psychology with heart. Because care is the cure.

Hi, my name's Michele and I offer counselling and psychotherapy to adults who are experiencing emotional distress that prevents them from functioning well in their work and personal lives. You may want to see a psychologist if you are experiencing excessive worry, panicky feelings, low mood, low energy or loss of interest in things. You might be going through a life transition, experiencing grief after a loss or having relationship difficulties. You may have grown up having painful and difficult experiences early in life which prevent you from functioning freely and creatively, or from forming positive relationships with others.

Family problems from trivial to severe will challenge every family at some point. Family Therapy can feel like a real life saver, whether it’s adjusting to the teenage years, divorce, separation, managing conflict respectfully or grieving. Family members seek my help when they become stuck in repeating patterns of hurtful or harmful behaviour and have run out of ideas for solving problems. Family Therapy helps families, couples and teenagers to build closer and happier relationships and address challenges like addictions, mental illness, violence, eating disorders, self-harming, suicide ideation, separation and co-parenting.

I believe a life of meaning, fulfilment and happiness is possible for every person, from those with slightly tiresome moods or behaviours to those with severely wounded pasts. It can be achieved through a guided therapeutic process which combines scientific research and experience with careful assessment into each person's mental barriers, unhelpful traits and recurrent emotional patterns.

Hi I'm Lauren, an engaging and caring psychologist with a range of experience working with adults experiencing anxiety, social anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal and relationship difficulties, LGBTQIA+ related concerns, sexual health and intimacy concerns, and difficulties with self-esteem. I aim to work collaboratively and provide a safe space for the expression of ones authentic self. I strive for a strong and honest therapeutic relationship, and believe this creates an opportunity for people to explore what is causing their difficulties whilst also facilitating the space for growth and change.

I believe that the stories we tell ourselves shape our lives, our identity, and our sense of 'place' in this world. We can impact and transform our lives by exploring how we engage with our life stories - by learning to tell our stories in ways that make us stronger. Narrative Therapy, to me, is a respectful and hope-filled counseling method that connects a client with their agency and stories, empowering them to shape a different future.

A relationship that thrives and gives you fulfilment will bring the kind of lasting happiness that enables you and your partner to grow and create deeper bonds. When an important relationship becomes strained or distressed, the pain you feel can challenge you to the core. I work with you in order to reveal the dynamics of your relationship - the patterns that you have built to protect the wounds that you have suffered. Together we will explore and uncover the hidden beliefs and unconscious drivers that are the triggers of your difficulties in relating to yourself or partner. We long to become present to ourselves, and connected.

I currently have availability to take on some new clients. I support individuals with a broad range of clinical needs in a non-judgmental, holistic way utilising evidence based treatments.

My goal is to assist individuals in gaining greater insight and self-awareness, to enhance emotional well-being, make positive change towards finding more meaning and purpose, and towards living a more fulfilling life.
