Self Esteem Counselling in Dulwich Hill, NSW

When lingering or reoccurring issues arise they create within us a dissatisfaction about life and how we feel about ourselves. Issues such as relationship difficulties, addictions, career, life transitions, parenting, depression, anxiety, stress, body image, negative beliefs and thoughts, emotional overwhelm, aggression, low energy, impulsivity etc. can affect your self esteem and your ability to think clearly and solve problems effectively. Learning new skills, building on resilience and resources and dealing with past issues that affect your present life can be empowering and create satisfaction and fulfilment in your life.

Are you struggling with issues relating to trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, managing and understanding your emotions or just feeling overwhelmed and don't know where to start? I endeavour to provide individualised, collaborative and evidence based treatment to meet your needs. It will be a space where you are seen and heard.

Are you struggling to navigate a difficult life event such as a relationship break-up, diagnosis of a medical condition or loss of a loved one? You may feel depressed, anxious and alone and don't know where to start to get your life back on track. You may have tried to manage things on your own but feel as though you've hit a wall & have decided that it's time to reach out for help? Hi I'm Roberta & I have a special interest in working with women & men in all stages of life to help them move through life's challenges so they can live their best & most meaningful life!

I understand that everyone’s journey is unique, and one size does not fit all. Sometimes we are faced with obstacles that will interrupt our life path which requires support. My services are tailored to meet your individual needs, incorporating evidence-based approaches and creative therapies. I am passionate about providing holistic and creative counselling that focuses on a person's mental, emotional, physical and spiritual needs.

I specialise in Anti-Oppressive Practice, relationships, self-growth and identity, search for meaning, grief & loss, work-life stuff, victim-survivors of interpersonal and systemic violence (domestic violence and structural oppression), cultural identity, the LGBTIQA+ community, family of origin issues, and relational trauma such as childhood abuse or neglect. I enjoy working with individuals to really unpack their experiences of relationships and sense of self. I also provide clinical supervision for students, new grads, activists and peers working in counselling and helping professions.

Do you feel numb or overwhelmed? Or that you're just going through the motions of life? Is your inner critic a constant companion, leaving you feeling lost and unsure. Perhaps this makes you feel that you're not enough or all too much. Facing these challenges alone can leave you feeling helpless or stuck. At Self Space Therapy, I offer a safe, compassionate and welcoming space to meet you where you are. Together we will build a therapeutic relationship based on trust and authenticity - a space to focus on deepening self awareness and acceptance and fostering growth and change.

I provide psychological intervention to young people (12+) and adults (18+), with a focus on developing insight into their current life difficulties (eg anxiety, depression, issues connecting with people), considering how they would like their life to be, and beginning taking actions toward that desired life. I utilise Schema Therapy, with elements from a range of other therapy models (eg ACT, IPT, DBT, CBT) where needed, particularly when assisting people to develop new skills.

Are you a woman in your prime, navigating the intricate landscape of midlife transitions? Are you seeking support that goes beyond traditional therapy to encompass every facet of your well-being? Welcome. I'm Val, a Holistic Counsellor dedicated to empowering women aged 45-55 on their journey toward wellness. With a diverse background in personal training, nutrition coaching, and menopause specialisation, I bring a unique blend of expertise to the table. My approach isn't just about addressing isolated symptoms; it's about understanding the interconnectedness of mental health, physical health, nutrition, and lifestyle choices.

I honour the innate wisdom in all of us, and hold deep respect and compassion for people. My aim is to provide a safe, compassionate and healing space, where you can talk about, explore and find solutions to what's really happening in your life and whatever brings you to counselling. I will support you to create a healthy relationship and connection with yourself and others, and will walk with you, as you overcome the obstacles, and celebrate the steps you take towards living more of the life you desire.

I have over 20 years working with teens and adults in providing direct care to disabled and able bodied adults as a carer and psychologist. I help people with a wide range of issues: Depression, Anxiety, Substance Use, Loss and Grief, PTSD, Work Cover (SIRA accredited), and Compulsory Third Party.

When we're struggling with challenges arising from issues around mental health, we can often feel lonely, isolated, and we may experience a sense of hopelessness about the future. As a therapist, I'm here to support you in navigating these challenges. I offer a gentle, collaborative approach and work from a mix of different therapeutic styles. Through our therapy sessions, we'll aim to bring forth hope and change for you, and deeper connections with yourself and others. Session times are currently available, so please check in with me for a free chat.

Imagine making changes to break free from what's holding you back, getting clarity about your next steps, and working towards the life you want. I specialize in helping people who are ready for change and want to transform their lives. My approach helps you identify and break free from unhelpful patterns, gain clarity, and develop the skills to navigate life's challenges. By understanding the influence of your past, making sense of your present, and creating a future in line with your values, together we facilitate a space for growth.

Like a flower, we bloom in the right environment; in the play therapy room I work with empathy and acceptance to create a safe space for children and families in order for them to work through their issues and “grow”. I recognise the importance of family and offer assistance to parents and carers to work towards a safer, happier and more relaxed home environment in a strength-based way. Child-centred Play Therapy is a gentle, trauma-informed and neuro-affirming way of supporting children in their unique reactions to coping with daily life, big life events or trauma and attachment issues.

As humans, we will all go through challenging times and need support. Therapeutically, I work to assist the brain and body cope with trauma, challenging emotions & life experiences. I aim to sensitively attune to each person and look to work together to address your concerns. I humanise lived experiences and see the relevance of how our social and cultural context can shape our mood, mental health and recovery. I have special interest and experience working with people who have had a difficult childhood and those affected by trauma including sexual, physical, emotional, psychological & domestic abuse.

Welcome. My heartfelt intention is to hold a safe and supportive space for women to feel heard, healed and whole. Using mindbody principles of Gestalt Therapy, I offer a personalised, relational and embodied approach to supporting women who may be experiencing a disconnect from themselves, others or their environment - whether it be through symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, overwhelm, sexual assault or chronic health conditions. By healing past traumas, emotions and narratives that are impeding and impacting our lives in the present, the result is lasting change, internal safety and a coming home to oneself.

There are many paths we can wander down in our own minds yet we can often feel we are pulled on to negative unhelpful paths with out much say. I provide tele-health sessions to help anyone who is struggling, to find their own path to improving their quality of life. Whether it be depression, anxiety, relationship issues, stress, adjusting to change, addiction, grief, or general undefined discontent, I aim to collabrate with you to create a safe and warm space in which our working relationship provides the support that you need to explore all the unhelpful corners of your mind, and help you find and strengthen helpful paths.
