Sometimes life feels like it is getting out of hand. You are transitioning through different phases of life and your expectations are changing as you do. You are frustrated that things are not going the way you had hoped or planned, and you aren't sure why? You may not be connected in the ways you'd like with your family or friends, so you don't have the personal support network that people are designed to rely upon. You wonder how other people manage and you feel like you should be, too...but you don't feel like you have any control and you aren't sure how to create meaningful change. You just need some help without judgement.

Life can throw all sorts of curveballs when we least expect it, and it is how we pick ourselves up that can be a defining part of our lives. I am dedicated to helping people process and grow from challenging life experiences and overcome personal barriers through nurturing self-understanding and compassion.

I believe that collaborative and trusting therapeutic relationships are key to positive psychological progression.

I work with clients who are looking for understanding, empathy and acceptance. I am experienced with working with complex trauma, anxiety, depression, substance abuse and eating disorders.

You just want to be free to enjoy life, but find yourself stuck and struggling to move forward. Are painful experiences from the past holding you back and keeping you stuck? Do you feel anxious, angry, overwhelmed, disconnected or depressed? Do you find yourself easily triggered by reminders of the past? You have a sense that the pain you have tried to leave in the past is what’s keeping you from enjoying the present. You’re looking for someone to help you heal and move forward.

Every person's journey is unique, and I like to understand the background and goals of the people I support to ensure we create a personalised plan for them. I am very experienced in supporting adults, and adolescents and I have a strong interest in supporting people navigating anxiety, grief and loss, PTSD, developmental trauma, and the myriad of life's challenges. My approach is twofold: I believe in equipping you with immediate tools to cope with present concerns, while also delving into the roots of these issues – be it past events, deep-seated beliefs, or coping mechanisms – to pave the way for a brighter future.

Grahame understands that the struggles his clients encounter in life are often not just one difficulty but are made up of many things. The clients he supports have sort assistance because their situations have caused their coping mechanisms to come under great strain and the quality of life they value so much has diminished, effecting how they see themselves and the people around them. Grahame has found the people he has assisted in counselling have tried to manage these difficulties and in doing so have developed their own strategies and coping skills with many being personal strengths, which he is committed to enhancing.

I work with women seeking growth. These women feel taken for granted and often find themselves responding and reacting to loved ones in ways that are not ideal. Would you describe your life so far as 'complicated'? Was your childhood chaotic and traumatic in some way? Would you like to find ways to manage anxiety, show some kindness to yourself, step aside from the expectations of others, learn some communication skills and find a way to start healing those niggly emotions and feelings that are always there, hovering?

If you've been to counselling or therapy before, the way I work is probably different from what you're used to. The first 4 sessions are done as a package, which costs $200 (payable up front). During these sessions we'll explore your reproductive story, family-of-origin story, genogram and attachment style - in other words, we'll explore you! Who you are, where you came from, how and why you came to be here. After that, if you choose to continue, we'll begin the work together of how you'd like to move forward. What sort of life do you want to create and why?
