Counselling in 6005

I offer individualised support to people across the lifespan, and I welcome clients with a wide range of life experiences. I am particularly passionate about working with women and children. I have over 12 years’ experience that relates to mental health, youth, homelessness, substance use, LGBTIQ+ and research. I have experience working with presenting factors such as depression, anxiety, trauma, peri/post-natal/infant mental health, and interpersonal issues. I am trained in Interpersonal Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, and Mentalisation Based Therapy.

I work as a clinical supervisor, psycho educator and therapist. My clinical focus is on supervision, though I do take new clients to keep my skills current. I am a postgraduate trained counsellor and sexologist. My training and background is in child sexual abuse, trauma & attachment, sexual difficulties and religious abuse resulting in trauma. I use multiple therapeutic modalities within the supervisory or counselling relationship. We will work together using person-centred, family systems, narrative, IFS, ACT, Somatic, artistic and Trauma Focused methods.

I am passionate about coming alongside you and helping you find solutions, healing and recovery. My goal is for you to come to a place where you are able to move forward, to gain clarity and reach a new level of better. I like to be client-centred and encouraging client autonomy as well as building a space for healthy collaboration and problem solving. I am a strong believer in an individual’s ability to find change and to break out of old patterns and cycles. For me it is important to foster an atmosphere of hope and perspective.

Do emotions sometimes become too painful and overwhelming? Taking that first step to contact someone for help can be very difficult. Establishing a caring therapeutic relationship attuned to individual needs is central to Susanna’s work. As research supports, the therapeutic relationship is the most powerful determinant of a positive outcome in psychotherapy. Susanna encourages her clients to explore and become aware how early experiences shape their present thoughts and behaviours. Gaining a greater understanding of their circumstances, allows for an empowered sense of their ability to create positive change.

I am a registered psychologist and clinical psychology registrar offering counselling and psychotherapy to adults and older adults experiencing a range of mental health difficulties. Drawing from psychodynamic and relational models of psychotherapy, I aim to provide a safe, empathic and exploratory space for those that I work with.

The stories we tell about current events and memories of past episodes in our lives profoundly impact on us and our loved ones. Are you feeling distressed, anxious or traumatised by historical or recent experiences? I can help you alleviate, transcend or transform these symptoms, and reclaim psycho-social and emotional well-being. Good therapy relies upon us forming sufficient mutual trust and compassion to discuss and interpret personal matters. I look forward to hearing your story and helping you revise retellings of it that firm your resolve to follow your preferred path towards life with less distress, or completely free of it.
