Counselling in Australian Capital Territory

We human possess significant resilience, yet we are very vulnerable. There are numerous stressors around us that can affect our wellbeing and can cause sadness, anger, loneliness, sense of unfulfillment, etc. Sometimes painful memories from the past don’t allow us to create new memories. Our own thoughts and beliefs work against us at times. Behaviours that were once soothing and comfortable, over time, become destructive. Coping with loss can be extremely challenging. Argument and unresolved conflicts can damage our intimate relationships. Family members not getting along can result in lot of distress. And counselling can help.

Would you like to improve your communication with your partner or a member of your family?. Have you experienced a betrayal or has someone in the relationship had difficulties with addiction or behavioural difficulties? Have you been affected by previous traumatic experiences? I am here to help you regain, much-needed clarity along your individual journey. My goal is to ensure you are heard and understood in every session. I am here to work with you to facilitate a safe space to explore your inner needs.
