Counselling in Illawarra, NSW

My goal for you is to provide the space to work through relational patterns and traumas - often to a new place of being with yourself and others with peace and awakening. I work with individuals and couples, who feel a need to sort out their inner world - their emotions, thoughts, relationships and behaviours; or just simply feel the need to talk and to unravel and connect more deeply with themselves.

We have all experienced times in our lives when we just need someone to talk to, listen to us, to give us the empathy/support that we need to explore an issue safely. Someone that can assist us with navigating life’s rollercoaster, especially during times when things can feel extremely overwhelming. Fiona’s aim at Sacred Space Counselling is to be just that person for you. Fiona provides a safe/sacred warm space so that you can explore what brings you to the counselling space.

I work exclusively with adolescents and young adults seeking medium/longer-term psychotherapy. Working consistently over time allows us to create a safe space to openly explore who they are, why they feel the way they feel (and do what they do) to pinpoint what they truly need to thrive; and I'll be there for support and guidance as this self-knowledge translates into meaningful real-world choices. My style is conversational, collaborative and down-to-earth - we are in it together and our sessions are real, present and genuine time together.

Trauma work is always guided by you, the client. You have complete control over the speed and direction of the work we do together. I will check in often and find out how you’re travelling. My first priority is to make sure you feel in control and you feel safe. EMDR is often used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but it has also been used to address a range of other mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and phobias. Its effectiveness has been supported by numerous research studies, and is recommended as a treatment option by organisations such as the APA and the World Health Organisation.
