Counselling in Mona Vale, NSW
Vanessa Steele
Counsellor, ACA-L2
Verified
Counselling is all about meeting your needs. I believe you are the expert in your life and that we can utilise that expertise to create more harmony and connection with your self and others. Together, we focus on your problem, through your viewpoint, and identify your strengths. Working with your knowledge and experiences, we take apart the messy knot of problems, decide the focus and explore your options. We clarify your goals and develop your skills towards reaching them. When you are ready to let go of the fear, shame, frustration, anger or grief that is getting in your way, and get 'unstuck', call me and we can get started.

Sarah Beetham Psychotherapist
Counsellor, MA, PACFA
Verified
Sarah's task, as your therapist is to provide an environment that disrupts your current level of functioning and move you towards change and renewed progression. Clients come to counselling stuck and immobilized, unable to create something new in their lives. The repetition of stuck and unsatisfactory behaviours, thoughts and feelings is what leads most clients through my door. I utilise theoretical and practical interventions, through the observation of the client’s discrepancies, mixed messages, conflict, and incongruity in the client’s statements and behaviours within the counselling sessions.
Penny Lucas
Counsellor, MA, ACA-L1
Verified
I have always been interested in how we as humans experience our world and the challenges that go along with life, most particularly in how we make a meaningful life, how we relate to one another and cope with loss. I work with clients on a range of issues including anxiety, grief, body image, interpersonal relationship challenges and navigating significant life challenges. I take a calming approach that allows a client to start to settle the nervous system in order to move towards the changes they would like to see unfold in their lives.

Anita recognizes we all experience challenging times in our lives and mostly we are resilient beings that have strategies to manage upsetting situations well. At times however when there is too much happening in our lives we need assistance to deal with stress, anxiety and depression. Anita will coach you to build on your strengths and provide strategies to cope better.

Amanda Moore
Counsellor, MA, ACA-L2
Verified
I take a gentle, person-centred approach to counselling and will tailor therapy to suit you, because I believe that no one therapeutic method works for everyone. I use counselling approaches such as Narrative Therapy (NT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Acceptance and commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help with building self-esteem and resilience, and manage anxiety that stems from situational difficulties and life changes.
Anthony Edwards
Are you feeling anxious, stressed, confused, emotionally overwhelmed? Does life seem overwhelming, unfair, sad, unfulfilling, directionless, hopeless? Do you simply want more from life? You’re not alone. I endeavour to understand what is important for you, which means that I don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach. Using empathy and non-judgement, I listen to understand what life is like for you and to ‘get’ you - what you are thinking and feeling, how the events of life have impacted you, and what you want and need. I create a safe space to be open and real about what you are experiencing.
