Hi, I’m Miro, and I am a counsellor and psychotherapist based in Hobart, I am available to support teenagers and young people, adults, and elder members of our community. I have experience supporting clients with a range of concerns, and have a personal focus on mental health counselling and supporting survivors of trauma, including childhood trauma, family violence and sexual assault. I am trained in a wide range of evidence-based therapies including CBT, ACT, Schema Therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and contemporary trauma-informed therapies including EMDR.
I am an openly out member of the LGBTQIA+ community and am keen to support clients with any issues related to diversity in gender identity, bodies, or sexuality, including questioning identity and coming out, understanding diverse identities, experiencing discrimination and abuse, and building relationships with family, friends and in the workplace.
I work to create a warm, safe, non-judgemental and inclusive space for you to explore your situation, and tailor the therapies I use according to your needs and goals. NOTE: This is not a crisis service. If you need urgent support please call the Mental Health Helpline on 1800 332 388 or Lifeline on 13 11 14.
