Hi, I’m Tamara Buchanan. I founded CounsellingCo as a person-centred, trauma-informed, evidence-based practice devoted to helping people with drug & alcohol issues, behavioural and social media addictions, executive stress, and mental health issues before they reach crisis point. I work with you to understand how early childhood, ADHD, trauma, PTSD, grief, and all experiences to date shape your emotions, beliefs, mood and behaviours. I will gently challenge and empower you to move forward. If you have tried everything but therapy, CounsellingCo is your first step to making a positive change.
CounsellingCo is a contemporary practice underpinned by neuroscience and evidence-based research, with an emphasis on psychoeducation, inviting clients to shine a light on their own life experience and its implications for unhealthy beliefs and behaviours. I believe that positive mental health is not about what you do, but about who you are.
It takes guts to make changes and it is not easy, but I can show you how to become the hero of your life. At CounsellingCo, you will be supported and empowered to become the best version of yourself, in a positive, active and engaging way.
