Counselling in Western Australia

Hi, I'm a practicing counsellor, as well as a lecturer in the Discipline of Counselling with the University of Notre Dame, Australia and Director of the Centre for Life, Marriage and Family and agency of the Catholic Archdiocese of Perth in Western Australia.

Denise is a registered and endorsed Counselling Psychologist with the Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency. She has been counselling for over 10 years and works with adults and couples. Denise also provides Board Approved Supervision for Provisional Psychologists and Counselling Endorsement Registrars. She draws from a number of evidence based therapies, depending on the needs of the client. Denise holds a client centered approach to therapy, she feels that it is important that within therapy a person feel understood, empowered and safe.

The decision to start therapy can be a little overwhelming. I respect your decision to come to therapy and will work with you to make the process as easy and as smooth as possible. I am passionate about providing therapy that is person-centered, compassionate, empathetic, and holistic. I tailor my interventions to each individual’s needs and draw from a range of modalities. I am committed to creating a safe, non-judgemental space that allows room for the exploration of difficult thoughts, feelings, and events. I pride myself on being an empathetic listener and have been known to sprinkle some humour into sessions where appropriate.

Complex trauma at any age can make understanding ourselves, our reactions, painful emotions, and relationships mystifying. I'm registered with Blue Knot Foundation as a trauma informed therapist. If you have anxiety or depression symptoms, anger or hurt, I have been working beside people who want to manage and reduce these issues since the 20th century. I'll do my best to give you tools to use right from your first visit. If you are in a remote area I can provide sessions via Signal/Skype/Zoom. I know a lot about family and domestic violence and how people can come back from what happened to them or even what they did to others.

I am a Registered Psychologist with a Master of Counselling Psychology leading a team of psychologists in West Leederville with extensive experience providing individual therapy to children, teens, and adults. I help clients who are experiencing anxiety and depressive disorders, facing family conflict, having difficulties managing ADHD and life stressors, and those who have experienced trauma. My practice is person-centered, neuro-affirming, and takes a strengths-based approach to care. Sessions are provided face-to-face or via telehealth services.

As a Sexologist and Registered Counsellor, I support individuals and couples facing challenges in sex, communication, dating, libido, FIFO relationships, neurodiversity (ADHD/ASD), family stresses, sexual difficulties/pain, codependency, healing from betrayal, ENM/polyamory, and more. I work with LGBTQ+ people and anyone feeling constrained or exhausted by the pressures to have a certain kind of marriage/relationship, income, family, career, appearance, to behave in a certain way, and be a certain person.

You're a high-functioning woman with big dreams, dee emotions, a brilliant, busy mind that never stops and a sensitive soul. You find the world overwhelming at times and don't know how others seem to do it with ease. You're curious about your inner world, self-reflection and nurturing your inner child. I'd love to help you get back your emotional well-being while valuing your sensitivity. I work in a unique guided, somatic way that will guide you in-wards to a compassionate journey to meet all parts of you. We'd work well together if you think CBT/ talk therapy only scratched the surface and you're ready to go deeper.

I am committed to ensuring that all clients receive the highest standard of care and a positive experience of therapy. I have over 10 years experience and have worked in both the private and not for profit sector. I understand that many people feel nervous about attending counselling, so I ensure that we spend time in the first session discussing goals, motivations for attending therapy and outlining what they can expect from the sessions. I work from a client-centred approach, which means that therapy is guided by a clients’ individual goals and completely at their own pace.

My role in therapy is to provide a space that is transparent, free of judgement and free of criticism to safely explore where you are, where you want to be, and whom you want to become. It is this sense of safety and trust that allows us to see ourselves clearly and allows us to break free from old subconscious habits and patterns making space to make conscious choices about our responses to triggers and situations. Many clients have described this experience as liberating and empowering, freeing them to grow and find meaning, purpose and fulfilment in life.

People can experience things in different ways. You might relate to some of these issues such as anxiety, PTSD, OCD or panic attacks. You may also relate to issues associated with family conflict, things like family separation which may include feelings of guilt, grief & loss, sadness, and fear, just to name a few. I truly believe that there is no ‘one fits all’ when it comes to therapy. My approach and style is working within a person-centred framework and I strongly value the importance of having a trusting relationship between therapist and client.
