Bec Wellard Therapy
Psychotherapist, PACFA
Verified
Are you curious about yourself? Interested in exploring the habitual ways you connect and relate to others and the world around you? In finding deeper awareness of your process? Relational Gestalt therapy with Bec Wellard offers a space to make contact with the here and now, moment by moment experience of being alive. To connect with another human being who can hold all of the different parts of "who you are" in acceptance and compassion, and explore what it means to be YOU. From this place safety and trust grow, and new ways - more healthful ways of being - may emerge. From this place change is inevitable.

Hunter Psychological Services
Psychologist, MPsych, PsyBA General
Verified
I'm always grateful for the opportunity to provide support, as I'm aware of the bravery that therapy takes, being vulnerable in session is immense. All clinicians at the clinic I run aim to work in a non-directive, client-centred way, meaning the client sets their own treatment goals and we're just the support that holds difficult or overwhelming emotions where needed. This allows the client to drive their own therapy and shows them that they can create a better life. Please know, I'm not currently taking new clients, however other clinicians at my clinic are!

Verified
I have a wide range of experience working with adolescents and adults with a variety of diagnoses and concerns. I am passionate about helping people to work through anxiety, depression, adjustment disorder, PTSD, developmental trauma, and grief and loss among other concerns. I work with clients to address the concerns that are coming up for them in the here and now, to provide the tools and strategies for immediate support. I feel it is also important to explore how this has come to be including the impact of past events, trauma, underlying core beliefs, and maladaptive coping strategies to work towards the best future possible.

My commitment is to work alongside you to create a safe, non-judgmental space to help faciliate, unfold and navigate our conscious and unconscious behavious and patterns. I am here to be present with you, and to recognise that healing and transformation is not measured by external ideas of 'fixing'. Therapy is a progressive process. It's individual and meaningful. Your outcomes are supported by your willingness to stay with what your experiencing, to deepen with compassion and to integrate your mind, emotions and body into a sense of being whole so that you can have a deeper relationship with yourself.

Atlas Counselling
Counsellor, PACFA
Verified
Sometimes life feels like it is getting out of hand. You are transitioning through different phases of life and your identity is changing as you do. You are frustrated that things are not going the way you had hoped or expected, and you aren't sure why. You may not be connected in the ways you'd like with your family and friends, so you don't have the interpersonal support 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.
