Counselling in 3195

My primary therapeutic goal is empowerment. I use evidence-based health care strategies that provide people with a set of skills they can take away with them.

My oh my life can be a big ol’ mess sometimes! I hear you, sometimes things just get way too overwhelming and it’s hard to get unstuck. Maybe you’re dealing with depressive thoughts, feeling too anxious to do anything or trying to figure out what you really want out of life. Or it could be you’re not vibing with your friends, romantic partner or butting heads with certain family members. It can be rough dealing with all that stuff and being a teenager or young adult in this world isn’t easy.

I am an IFS and trauma informed therapist with a Masters Degree in Counselling. Maybe you feel like there's a tug of war inside of you? Perhaps you feel a profound sadness with uncontrollable anxious thoughts? My aim is to provide deep personal counselling to people who have faced complex trauma/grief and are experiencing the painful effects of it. I listen and guide with genuine empathy, my goal is to help you unburden from the pain you are carrying and see true healing and transformation in your most vulnerable and precious inner parts.

Are you experiencing really uncomfortable emotions that you don't know how to process? Or maybe you haven't even identified them yet. I support and guide you through stress, anxiety, low mood/motivation, relationship matters and life changes. I aim to provide a non judgemental space, as well as tools and techniques to help you better manage emotions, overcome anxiety and feel better within yourself. Enrich your social interactions by understanding your needs, communicating your boundaries, and regulating your emotions so that you can be fully present and available to the people who matter to you and have more meaningful connections.

Dealing with personal issues can feel overwhelming. Are you experiencing relationship or family problems, personal issues such as anxiety, depression, loss of a loved one, low self esteem? Some people, especially men, find it difficult to ask for help. It is ok and a positive think to ask for help. Counselling enables you to talk through your problems and find practical strategies to manage or relieve your symptoms, and make positive changes in your life to move forward with confidence.

I enjoy helping both adolescent and adult clients discover there is an alternative to the life of distress and discomfort quite often being experienced in the lead up to engaging with mental health support. I work with people who are experiencing low mood and/or low motivation, difficulties adjusting, stress, anger, confusion or worry, to empower them to discover their strengths whilst developing insight into their presentation.

My clients are people just like you; stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or in a life transition. No one understands or really gets what you're going through. You support everyone else and do all the right things. Somewhere in the mix you lost your connection with yourself and now realise you need some attention. You are interested in learning new skills or strategies, and/or would like more clarity, meaning and sense of purpose. I get it as that was me. Before training as a counsellor I worked in stressful corporate finance teams. I engaged a therapist for regular sessions during those challenging times; it made all the difference.
