Counselling in Fremantle, WA

Are you experiencing difficulties in your relationship(s)? Are you feeling confused and wanting some clarity? Are you wanting to change some behaviours, but don’t know how or where to begin? Are you feeling angry, sad, lonely or overwhelmed, finding it difficult to get through the day? Perhaps you’ve answered yes to one or some of these questions. If so, it might be time to talk to a professional Counsellor in a safe and comfortable environment where you can fully explore what’s going on for you, and begin to facilitate change, at a pace that feels right for you. I offer short and long term Counselling to Couples and Individuals.

The stories we tell about current events and memories of past episodes in our lives profoundly impact on us and our loved ones. Are you feeling distressed, anxious or traumatised by historical or recent experiences? I can help you alleviate, transcend or transform these symptoms, and reclaim psycho-social and emotional well-being. Good therapy relies upon us forming sufficient mutual trust and compassion to discuss and interpret personal matters. I look forward to hearing your story and helping you revise retellings of it that firm your resolve to follow your preferred path towards life with less distress, or completely free of it.

My clients are the ones who are generally questioning their relationship with alcohol although not identifying as full-blown alcoholic. Most of all, my clients need a safe, non-judgemental, confidential space to talk about it and leave the shame and stigma about alcohol and addiction outside the room to talk freely. My clients are professional workers, FIFO, parents and stay-at-home parents, they are from here and from overseas. They feel tired, trapped, confused, ashamed, and very fed up to feel hangover, miserable, lonely, sometimes anxious, depressed and full of self-loathing. Like me, they may have googled "Am I an alcoholic?".

Trying to figure important things out by yourself is just too difficult. There are times we need the perspective that comes from someone who really listens and cares about you. If you struggle with anxiety, depression, relationships, workplace bullying, bereavement, spiritual growth or being a woman in a male dominated profession (including facing legal issues), I'm here for you. With over 25 years' experience I can help you navigate difficult circumstances while you build confidence, self-esteem, improve personal boundaries and resolve trauma. If you're a dog person who appreciates a good sense of humour, we'll get along famously.
