Elders (65+) Counselling in Greater Melbourne (Outer), VIC

If you are reading this now you must be tired of swimming against the tide! You could suffer from feelings of anger, inadequacy, fear, sadness, obsessive toughts, self-harm or self-hatred. Your relationship could be suffering. You could feel hopeless and lonely with no one to hear you, let alone understand you. All these feelings could be the result of old traumas and poor relational patterns learned a long time ago. Have you ever wondered why you react in certain ways, in spite of yourself? Or why a pattern seems to repeat over and over? Why is there always something missing? I can help you!

As a culturally informed counsellor, I have lived experience of seeking external approval and it is exhausting. Constantly overthinking, worrying about others' opinions and going down endless rabbit holes can be draining. You may be holding back so that you are not criticised. Your inner dialogue may sound like 'conflict is bad and it would get really awkward' or 'If I speak up I will upset someone or they'll ridicule me'. It is common for many women to eventually withdraw into a shell and overtime they become invisible. Sometimes it feels easier to go along with things and "appear" agreeable rather than risk offending others.

It takes courage to reach out for support during difficult times. Be it at major crossroads in our life's journey, having had to endure issues that have been burdensome, with no end in sight, to confronting and needing to make major life choices.

We can impact and transform our lives by exploring how we engage with our life stories - by learning to tell our stories in ways that make us stronger.

It is in such an environment that a collaborative therapeutic relationship may be developed to facilitate client goals.

I am a strong advocate for breaking down social taboos surrounding mental health. The personal mental health journey can be isolating, and the individual can often feel alone, unaccepted and excluded.

My focus is creating a strong therapeutic alliance, resulting in a tailored treatment plan.
