Integrative Counselling in Kew, VIC

’Integrative Creative Companioning’ was developed after a decade of studying the nature of mind through the fields of yoga, psychology, philosophy and spirituality. Based on the intrinsic interconnection of body/mind/spirit/soul, this approach focuses on integrating expanded experiences through the body, to provide a relaxed resting place for mind- body.

Hi! I'm a psychotherapist dedicated to helping people to achieve lasting change and growth. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and supportive, providing a space for you to explore and experience whatever has been unmanageable alone. Whether you're feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, dealing with grief or loss, wanting to make positive changes, or discover your strengths, I will work collaboratively with you. I take an integrative approach, and care about every facet of your wellbeing. Nothing is irrelevant, and nothing is too silly or strange to express.

Psychotherapy is supportive in helping clients move through acute or long-term psychological distress. Rather than symptom-based relief, psychotherapy explores the historical roots of current distress and therefore aims to uproot the foundations of mental suffering for transformative change.

Jes is a integrative therapist, who helps clients to safely explore themselves and their experiences more deeply, in ways that don't just rely on the intellect. With a warm and validating approach, this process is well suited to people who are feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, or who are having a challenging time in life and need to find a way forward.

Hi, my name is Matt and I am part of the team here at Equal Psychology (www.equalpsychology.com.au). I work with clients 16 years and older experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, relationship concerns, identity struggles, and BPD. I will work collaboratively with you to understand your needs and goals. By working with you I aim to relieve you of your distress, help you gain deeper insight, and to build resilience against knock backs. As well as individual therapy I offer ADHD screening and assessments (starting from $300).

It takes courage and honesty to decide that you are not satisfied with your life. You might know that you need change, but you are not quite sure what, or, how to go about it. Alternatively, you may have a very clear idea of what is getting in the way of you thriving. Perhaps you have found the last couple of years a challenge, or you are generally feeling a bit lost or confused having difficulty processing the impact of the pandemic on you, or your young people/person, or any other barrier/s. Regardless, we can work together to rediscover hope, purpose and joy in your life.

Mental, physical & emotional pain and disillusionment are all 'signposts' directing us to address our life issues....to take action for beneficial change. Are you struggling with life's challenges, anxious or depressed? Perhaps you're frustrated with personal issues you want to gain clarity about & make peace with? If so, call & ask how my holistic Counselling sessions could support you in life. Spiritual Counselling sessions are also offered which integrate your spiritual beliefs and align you to your wisdom as a compass for personal decision making and support.

I work with clients across the life span and from all walks of life. People come to me because they feel stuck, depressed, alienated, conflicted, lost, unfulfilled or curious. They yearn for a confidential, compassionate and inspiring therapeutic space where they can feel safe enough to encounter different aspects of themselves and their life circumstances with more depth, honesty, dignity and clarity. They hope to cultivate their self-understanding and to nurture their heart in order to find more ease and a deeper sense of belonging with themselves, their loved ones and the wider world; so as to live a life of joy and connection.

My approach to therapy is to use an integrated model because every person I work with is a unique individual with their own set of circumstances. I'm open minded, non judgemental and interested in helping clients to explore the contents of their hearts and minds to better understand their internal struggles, interpersonal relationships and how they exist in the world.

I exclusively work with athletes (young amateurs, semi-pro, pro or elite), sport parents, performers & sport team coaches. I help you with the psychological shifts needed to transition through the different stages of your sporting career. EG: From Semi-pro to Pro or from Pro to Elite.
