Counselling in 6007

I find such pleasure in being a psychologist and witnessing my clients move towards mental well-being. I understand that each person is individual and unique, so therapeutic approaches are tailored to your needs. At times, my clients are learning new skills and strategies, at others therapy may simply be having a safe space to hold emotions or to detangle distressing thoughts. Having practiced as a counsellor and psychologist over the past 15 with many different populations, I bring to your therapy a breadth of experience that may suit you also.

I have over 20 years experience providing support and intervention to people vulnerable to acute psychosocial crises and/or chronic lifestyle stressors. I became a registered Psychologist in 2011 and have since developed a strong foundation in using evidence-based practice to support my clients to improve their mood management, reduce anxiety and stress, better regulate their emotional states, and address problematic behaviours, in order to lead healthy, meaningful lives.

Are you a teen or young adult having difficulty with social or interpersonal challenges? Or perhaps you have already identified anxiety, depression, or ADHD as being an issue and you need a solution-focussed, original approach. I enjoy working with a range of clients, and I have a particularly keen interest in engaging with children, teenagers, and adults with these concerns to help them better manage their day-to-day and achieve their goals.

My focus is client centred, and over the years I have learned a great deal about human behaviour with particular regards to depression and trauma. I focus heavily on self compassion and the defences that can stop us from moving forward. Expect a down to earth, empathic and humanistic approach when you work with me.

Are you or your child struggling with challenging emotions, thoughts or behaviours? We will work collaboratively to manage difficult and challenging times when you or your loved one are feeling increasingly anxious, overwhelmed or depressed. Reaching out for support is the first step towards understanding and addressing the difficulties that may be stopping you or your child from living a more fulfilled and connected life. Some common difficulties I work with include anxiety, depression, ADHD, emotional dysregulation, interpersonal difficulties and parenting support.

I am a Psycho-analytic Psychotherapist (Group Analyst) and Occupational Therapist with 20 years of experience of supporting people to live lives that have meaning and purpose in the context of mental health issues. I have specialised in supporting patients who have experienced a difficult start in life in some way. This includes experience of attachment disruptions such as separation, loss or inconsistencies from attachment figures or trauma such as abuse and neglect.

Choosing to undertake psychotherapy or counselling and choosing a therapist are often pivotal and life changing decisions when it comes to dealing with emotional pain and discomfort you are experiencing in your life. My practice provides psychotherapy and counselling for people struggling with various aspects of their lives and who are looking to gain insight, integrate their past experiences and negotiate change in their internal world and themselves.

Sabinne has been leading hundreds of people in their paths of self-transformation. There has been a huge impact in these people’s lives. She has helped them to successfully overcome depression, anxiety disorders, panic, trauma (including PTSD), relationship challenges, loss and grief, suicidal ideation and self-harm, parenting conflicts, stress, eating disorders, addictions, bullying, self-esteem issues, insomnia and also assisted them with their self-awareness. During these years she has worked with all age groups, with people from different backgrounds and also in the disability field. She works with Psychotherapy and Coaching.

I aim to create a safe space where clients feel comfortable sharing their experiences, as well as feeling heard and valued. I work collaboratively with clients to provide guidance and assist them on their journey in becoming empowered and leading a life that is purposeful and meaning centred.

As a mature person I have the benefit of my own life experience as well as my many years of professional practice that I can draw upon. This has enabled me to help many people to improve the quality of their lives and their relationships and to cope with and overcome the traumas and challenges that life eventually presents to all of us.

I am a senior Clinical Psychotherapist/Counsellor 4 Level, a Certified Transactional Analyst (with the European Association for Transactional Analysis), an EMDR Therapist (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and a qualified Hypnotherapist with ASHWA (Australian Society of Hypnosis Western Australia Branch Inc).

Andrew can provide support to individuals, including adolescents from 13 years of age, emerging adults, and adults. He can provide short-term therapy or longer-term therapy, depending on the client’s needs, across a wide range of issues including addictions, LGBTQIA+, anxiety and stress, grief and loss, adjustment to change, interpersonal difficulties, work related, and FIFO-related issues.

I am a clinical psychologist that provides psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults. People I work with often express difficulties with feeling "stuck" in their life; they are grappling with a conflict that they have problems resolving. Many people also present with profound issues with relating to themselves and with other people, contributing to a sense of isolation. These issues may prevent a person from engaging in what is meaningful to them.

I offer a warm, open, collaborative therapy environment for those experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, and difficult life transitions. As a clinical psychologist, I also offer DBT-informed therapy for individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder traits (or Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder). Formally trained in CBT, I also utilise Schema Therapy to collaboratively work with you to develop new strategies for thinking and behaving that serve to improve the quality of your life.

My clinical practice focuses on creating a warm, attentive, thoughtful, and comfortable space. I encourage emotional understanding, growth, exploration, and vulnerability, in order to help people achieve whatever they are seeking. I recognise that treatment needs to be individual and tailored, and I will take the time to understand the needs of each person.

Adult ADHD is my passion. Please note I currently have scope, reopening my diary. I enjoy assisting clients to reach their potential as a neurodiverse individual. I am a practitioner with lived experience of ADHD - gaining a diagnosis as an adult. ADHD is not a problem to be solved. It is about learning and harnessing your strengths, enhancing them and bringing tools, skills and strategies to the table to assist achieving life goals. I value honesty, transparency and collaboration. I believe everyone can develop strong relationships, succeed at work, learn to handle emotions, impulses, frustrations and live their best life.

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. Carl Jung

I work in a client-focused way and to address the issues the client brings to the session. I have worked with a range of issues. I particularly like working with children, young people and women are experiencing relationship difficulties, whether that be with a partner, school relationships or parents.
