I specialise in working with couples, and those experiencing stress and mental health challenges (including drug/alcohol issues). Hello and welcome! My name is Fiona and I have been a counsellor and psychotherapist for 10 years. Our journey through life often doesn't go to plan and we sometimes feel 'derailed' from our desired path. Things may feel unbalanced and unworkable, resulting in great distress and difficulty. With a warm, empathetic and collaborative style, I support clients to identify and work on problematic thoughts, beliefs, feelings and behaviours. Building a strong therapeutic connection is critical to this process.

www.objectivepsychology.com.au - I consider my approach to my clients as warm, understanding, compassionate, and client-centred. I try to focus on empowering the individual and providing tools to help improve resilience and overall emotional, mental, and physical well-being. I also try to bring in an element of humour and wit, often with a different perspective than many would expect in a traditional therapy session.

For over 15 years, my work has centred on complex and developmental trauma and the ways it lives in the body, nervous system and relationships. I work with couples (especially neurodivergent couples), children, families and individuals when old patterns keep repeating despite insight, effort and love. If you keep asking, “What’s really going on?” “Why can’t I get through?” “Why can’t they hear me, feel me, see me?” or “Why does my child seem so lost, angry, unhappy or unreachable?” I can help you understand what may be happening beneath the surface and find a different way through.

Satori offers trauma focused therapies which include EMDR, EMDR Intensives, DBR, and Brainspotting, to support healing and promote overall wellbeing. I believe that finding peace, developing a strong sense of self and finding out how we are exceptional and unique, is achievable and attainable no matter where we are in our life journey, or what roads we have already travelled. Experiences such as childhood trauma, grief, loss, bereavement, relationship breakdown and shame can be explored gently, compassionately, and without judgement, to discover how to meet pain and move through it to live a full life that can be our best life.

I work with adults and older adolescents experiencing chronic stress, anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep disruption, as well as those living with chronic health conditions, burnout, and neurodevelopmental diagnoses (including ADHD and Autism). Many are managing strain across work or study, relationships, and daily functioning, often alongside patterns of sustained effort, high standards, and self-reliance. While effective in the short term, these patterns can become difficult to maintain, contributing to exhaustion, disrupted sleep, reduced capacity, and difficulty with decision-making or maintaining momentum.

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
