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.

Are you suffering a mental health condition and need intervention and support? Or are your experiencing interpersonal conflict at work or workplace bullying? Perhaps you are going through a relationship break up or divorce or struggling with family dynamics. Perhaps you need strategies in dealing with your child's emotional outburst or challenging behaviours or simply need a child assessment to identify any learning difficulties/ADHD/ASD symptoms? Or you may simply be feeling a little lost with little direction and clarity. If this is you, then make a change today and reach out and speak to one of our clinicians.

Do you feel 'stuck' and overwhelmed, anxious or in emotional pain? Perhaps you know it is time to make changes, to create more harmony and connection in relationships, both with yourself and others? With care and empathy, and at your pace, we can explore your experiences, take apart the messy knot of problems, identify your strengths and options - and develop strategies to reach your goals. I also work with couples to repair ruptures and build loving, secure partnerships. When you feel ready to heal from pain, fear, shame, resentment, anger or grief that is getting in your way, and get 'unstuck', call me and we can get started.

Being You Counselling and Psychotherapy
Psychotherapist, PACFA
Verified
When working with clients I apply techniques from my studies (although not limited to), in Existential Phenomenology, Family Systems Theory, Emotional Focus Therapy, Mindfulness and Meditation practise and
DBT
.
People come to therapy because they want to help to live a better life. They want things to change but are not quite sure how to make these changes. They often express themselves as feeling quite "stuck". I see symptoms such as an addiction, an eating disorder, depression and anxiety as not merely events to be removed by magic words or medication , but as indicators that the way the person is living their life is unsatisfactory to them. They may lack the insight that could help them live a more fulfilling life; to be able to make healthier choices or to simply lead a less chaotic or dramatic life.

Dialectical Behaviour (DBT) Counsellors
Dialectical behaviour Therapy (DBT) is the treatment most closely associated with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Counsellors practice DBT in both individual and group sessions. The therapy combines elements of CBT to help with regulating emotion through distress tolerance and mindfulness. The goal of Dialectical behaviour Therapy is to alleviate the intense emotional pain associated with BPD. Its core assumption is that change and acceptance are intertwined. We typically think of our efforts to change things as emerging out of non-acceptance. We either decide to accept things as they are or we seek to change: through DBT it's not a case of change or acceptance, but resolving the conflicts to allow for self-acceptance and constructive change.
