Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Counselling in Bellingen, NSW

Savva at Calm Mind Counselling Services can give you the energy and the support to help you take responsibility for your life and have the courage to make the necessary changes in order to grow and develop. This is not a process that will happen overnight; it isn't a magic cure. Initially, change may seem like a frightening prospect, however, if you embrace the process and take it one step at a time you will slowly, but surely feel positive results. Counselling offers people the opportunity to increase their self-awareness and begin the journey of bringing positive change to their lives.

As your psychologist, I work collaboratively with you to help you pursue a more fulfilling life. That means understanding your needs and therapy preferences and involving you in all decisions about your personalised treatment plan. My compassionate approach means you can trust me to listen without judgement and use evidence-based therapy to help you develop your self-awareness and confidence. The therapies I draw on are strength-based so they emphasise your resilience and resourcefulness in the face of adversity.
