Female Counselling in 3219

We all struggle at certain times, looking after ourselves can mean reaching out for support. As a counsellor, I help people feel better within themselves and improve their mental health and well being. Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, like you are no longer yourself? Life's challenges often feel like a lot to deal with, leaving you exhausted, burnt out and low in self esteem. Imagine if there was a way through these challenges, a way to manage your anxiety, deal with overwhelm and work towards your ideal way of feeling. I would love to chat with you about what is going on and how we can start a shift.

Whatever you are currently finding challenging - anxiety, depression, trauma, despair and disappointments, relationship difficulties, parenting or grief, it is hard to respond creatively when you feel stuck or overwhelmed. My aim is to listen with care to what you have to say about your own particular challenges and to help you understand what is holding you back - this opens up new possibilities. I have worked as a psychotherapist for over 15 years. I work face to face with children, adolescents and adults in my practice in Geelong and offer telehealth counselling to adults via Skype and telephone.

I am a Credentialed Mental Health Nurse working in therapy roles since 2006. I have lived & worked in the UK, Aotearoa/New Zealand & the Kimberley, providing therapy for teens, young adults, & older adults including Indigenous people in towns & rural & remote communities before moving to Victoria. I have experience working with struggles such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, emotional dysregulation, anger, bullying & racism. Evening & weekend appointments are avilable. susan-hodgson-talking-therapy.mailchimpsites.com

Jess is an experienced and qualified counsellor based in Geelong, who has knowledge and experience across a range of issues including anxiety, depression, burnout and self worth, as well as grief, loss and loneliness, among others.

Do you feel anxious, angry or depressed? Is trauma holding you back in life? Do you want to change your response to difficult situations?

Sometimes in our lives we need a reset or pivot, and space to pause and reflect on the next way forward.

The name of my business, Thinking Outside The Box (TOTB) says everything about my beliefs and my business. When we Think Outside The Box, our worlds become bigger. Mental ill health or mental distress causes us to focus inwards and our lives become smaller. We stop doing things because the work that goes into managing a distressing situation is exhausting. You are reading this right now because you know or feel that something is not quite right in your life. This may be something you have felt for as long as you can remember or a recent event. Doesn't matter, your here now so lets see how we can help.

I empower parents to compassionately show up for themselves so they can wholeheartedly enjoy parenthood. Often we encounter challenges when parenting our children and feel overwhelmed, stressed or burnt out. Being a parent is hard work. I can help you nurture your emotional well-being during this transformative journey. Parenting can unravel us and reveal childhood wounds and opportunities for self-growth. If you are experiencing moments where you are shut down, anxious or angry - I can help you understand what is going on and identify healthy ways of coping.
