Psychology sessions give you the opportunity to take a step back and explore what is really important to you. We address implementing the fundamentals, of optimum sleep, nutrition, enjoyable movement and rewarding relationships to put you in the healthiest physiological and neurological state to respond adaptively to stress and challenges when they arise. Making this manageable and tangible sets you up to actualise goals and live in accordance with your valued priorities. I practice neurological condition through physiological health practices and resilience skill building. This is proactive mental health.

Living life can be fulfilling, exciting and enriching. It is not without disappointments, hurts and struggles that bring us to a place of isolation, regret, grief or anxiety. Yet greater adversity can bring greater triumphs. With self-realisation, resolve and empowerment, your story will not have to speak of defeat. It would be an honour to have the opportunity to journey with you as a licensed counselor (M Couns., ACA) with 10 years of experience working with people of all ages and backgrounds in different settings.

Becoming Connected Counselling
Counsellor, MA, PACFA

Maybe you feel like you don't fit in - that others seem to have 'it' and you don't. Maybe you think you don't do the 'right' things, the things you think you should be doing. Perhaps you are dogged by sadness, anxiety, confusion or fear and don't understand why this is so. It could be that you are struggling to succeed in a relationship, a job, or being socially worthy and you are frustrated at what you see as your limitations. Maybe you had a one-off traumatic experience that you feel you will never get over, or childhood and adolescent 'failures' that you feel defined by. But you also don't want to give up and are searching ...

Susi West
Counsellor, PACFA
Verified
Are you a woman who's got what you always wanted but find that it still doesn't make you happy? Are you feeling stuck, sad, lonely or angry? My clients often feel this way. They also often compare themselves to others and struggle with perfectionism. They tend to feel frustrated they haven't achieved more with their lives, worried they'll never live up to their full potential & afraid that that familiar dull empty feeling will never go away. My clients tend to be very hard on themselves and wary of others, experience anxiety or depression on a regular basis and tend to over work, drink, eat or spend.
