Counselling in Secret Harbour, WA

We provide a person-centred approach to brain-based therapy that is designed to educate, empower, engage, and facilitate processes of growth, self-awareness, and self-healing. Keystone Therapy has developed a model of the root causes of behaviour. The model is holistic in that it integrates neurobiological, social and cultural impacts upon the psychological processes that underlie mental health. Introducing new learning, which brings about changes in the brain, results in concomitant changes in behaviour. Thus, through utilizing the brain’s inherent ability (“neuroplasticity”) to form new neural connections new behaviours arise.

Fear of the unknown is very common and is probably why most people are reluctant to start therapy. If you are struggling with feeling overwhelmed, worried for the future or feeling down and depressed then I encourage you to take the step to find a therapist that you click with. Using strategies that we know works is important, but it is also known that the relationship with your therapist is the most important thing in helping you to move forward. I work with many members of the community, and am especially equipped to work with LGBTIQA+ clients. I also have a lot of experience working with trauma.

Hi, Thank you for viewing my profile, I realise it can be an overwhelming process to begin searching for a counsellor and knowing who to choose and where to start as well as having confidence and trust in someone unknown to you to whom you may be expressing things never shared with others and becoming vulnerable at times. I have been in private practice for over 8 years and my journey to counselling began due to my own lived experiences through life and wanting to support others who may have also felt alone, unheard, unsupported and confused. I can offer a safe, respectful and non-clinical space to share and be supported.
