Counselling in Hobart, TAS

Hi, I’m Nerissa. I’m a mental health occupational therapist, family therapist and life coach passionate about supporting my clients to form healthy and loving relationships with themselves and others, build deeper awareness into how past experiences and traumas impact their life and creating space for healing, empowerment and conscious creation of positive and sustainable change. I come to private practice with over ten years’ experience working in the public mental health sector across both adult and child and adolescent services. I have worked with individuals, couples and families.

Please reach out via email. Hello! I'm Lauren (she/they) and I am an Arts Psychotherapist and Counsellor based in the Outer Eastern suburbs of Naarm (Melbourne). I have lived experience of being neurodivergent (AuDHD) and I am currently exploring my own queer identity. I am passionate about neuro-affirming care and psychoeducation around neurodivergence, and holistic care for youth, women and queer folk living with disability and trauma. I am a mum to one human teen and one elderly Siamese cat. I am an established artist who dabbles in art journaling, mixed media art, photography, dance and movement and more.

As a counselor, I aim to work with clients facing a spectrum of challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship issues, and personal identity concerns. I can offer understanding, validation, and support in a safe, empathetic space, desiring a therapeutic relationship founded on trust. If you want to enhance self-awareness, develop healthier coping mechanisms, improve communication skills, and navigate life transitions therapy is the place to do this.

I love what I do, I am passionate about supporting individuals and couples in navigating the complexities of the mind, relationships, and sexuality. I want to see people thrive and I care about my clients. I strive to help you become your most authentic selves, fostering self-connection and healing from trauma. My therapeutic approach is warm, empathetic, and person-centred, creating a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and desires. I will always find another way to help you and try something new if things don't work. I spend my time increasing my skills to constantly grow.

Hi, I’m Miro, and I am a counsellor and psychotherapist based in Hobart, I am available to support teenagers and young people, adults, and elder members of our community. I have experience supporting clients with a range of concerns, and have a personal focus on mental health counselling and supporting survivors of trauma, including childhood trauma, family violence and sexual assault. I am trained in a wide range of evidence-based therapies including CBT, ACT, Schema Therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and contemporary trauma-informed therapies including EMDR.

Are you a young person? LGBTQIA+? Queer? Are you an emerging healthcare professional or a new parent? These may not seem to go together, but they absolutely do. These are periods of great transition from around 12 years old to late 20s, and are where my passion and expertise lie. I will help you to find a sense of calm and personal capability as you navigate these new experiences. You will feel more confident managing school, friendships, a professional life, or parenting the way you want. Worries will be explored in a healthy way and you will feel in control of your experiences. Doesn't this sound amazing? Let's do it!

I have been working working one on one with clients for the past six years as a counsellor and more recently as provisional psychologist. This has included job seekers, university students and in private practice. I love to learn about what is important to each individual and enjoy working on anxiety, trauma, sleep, stress, communication, study techniques and mood related issues.

Are you or a loved one struggling with anxiety, depression, lack of purpose/motivation, an excess or a lack of emotion, anger management or stress? Counselling can support you to find emotional agility and live a full and meaningful life in line with your core values and improve your connection with yourself, significant others and with the world you live in. The counselling I provide is warm, friendly, accepting, non-judgemental and acknowledges our common human experience of struggling and growing. You are in the drivers seat so you get to take each session where it suits you.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed or just cannot make sense of things. Everyone can have therapy at anytime in life. Talking to someone who listens, remembers your history, travels with you on your journey can be rewarding and help with anxiety, depression and feelings of being alone. I can help you make sense of your life, meaning and troubling thoughts. I am also an experienced couples therapist having supported couples on their journeys from courting to commitment. I help people make sense of where they have come to, going to and how they are going to get there even when the future is uncertain.

The Crawley Clinic team of qualified mental health professionals is keen to help you improve your mood, recover from trauma, or prevent mental ill-health.

It’s our job to help you feel that we honour the trust you place in us so that we can progress towards your therapy goals. Together.

Welcome! I believe that with appropriate support, we have the inherent potential to move beyond suffering, toward a life of meaning and purpose. My goal is to support every individual to enhance their well- being and life satisfaction and reach their goals. I am an integrative therapist. I draw on a range of evidence-based interventions to ensure a client-specific approach to therapy.

Dear clients until further notice my practice at Breathing space is closed. David is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and Psychotherapist with 38 years counselling experience, with children, adults, couples and families. He believes that recovery from trauma restores a sense of dignity and justice and allows for more control over one’s life. This occurs when traumatic experiences can be transformed by a deeper understanding of the specific trauma and its consequential impacts on the body, when people are able to better manage this impacts the mind can often heal itself.

Fully-certified since 2019, I’ve been successfully counselling clients nationally to facilitate their self-growth. If you are feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, my services aim to introduce clarity and self-motivation. I also provide therapeutic support to those who have or are currently experiencing stress, anxiety, depression and other debilitating mental health conditions that impact on everyday life.

Seeking counselling can feel overwhelming. Years of working with young people have taught me to slow down and respect what is in front of me. I offer services that comfort people and assist them to build their skills, even when they don't think they can. I work to assist people to feel less overwhelmed and better equipped to cope with life stressors.

I am a senior social worker with many years experience in private practice and working in government and non-government agencies across Australia. I have worked with men, women, children and families, including people from different backgrounds such as Military personal, veterans and their families, Indigenous language groups, migrants and humanitarian entrants, and prisoners, just to name a few. I am a confident, highly motivated professional and take pride in my ability to communicate, both orally and written, with clients, management and supporting agencies to ensure a high level and comprehensive service.

My ideal client would be someone experiencing lack of intimacy & frequent conflicts in their relationship. Their presenting issues might involve lack of trust & unhealthy ways of communication. They would need skills & strategies to communicate more effectively & ways to make repairs after conflicts. They would also need tools to rebuild trust and foster intimacy. Another ideal client would be someone who has experienced trauma, childhood or more recent. They might experience anxiety, flashbacks & nightmares. Their goals would be to process the trauma & better manage their distressing thoughts & feelings.

I work with people of various cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds in both specialist health services (justice, family violence), schools (from Prep to Year 12) and specialist mental health services (adult residential services). I also facilitate group wellbeing programs for individuals & businesses, and have co-facilitated group workshops focused on teaching people practical skills to manage distress. I work best with people who are ready to take what we discuss in session, and implement this in their lives.
