Counselling in Launceston, TAS

Meet Max, your regular guy and a typical client of mine. Max's primary concern is striking a balance between work and personal life. He grapples with stress from his demanding job, seeking ways to enhance productivity without sacrificing down time. Max craves a healthy lifestyle but battles competing time constraints. Emotional stability is paramount for him; he desires peace of mind to secure his future. In terms of friendships and intimacy, Max yearns for meaningful friendships and great sex. He values practical solutions that align with his everyday challenges, making his life more enjoyable and fulfilling. Sound a bit like you?

I prefer to focus on treatment, not just talk. I have a genuine passion for working with individuals from all backgrounds who are keen to make changes in their life, or to better manage or understand their mental health. I have a kind but firm approach, and I am comfortable with colourful (real) language and appropriate humour in our appointments.

Making changes to patterns of behaviour can become easier when we learn why we behave the way we do. I support my clients to find their own best ways to overcome the hard times and celebrate the better times. I enjoy working with people who are ready to understand, grow and learn about who they are - where they've come from and where they are going. If you feel although you are ready to explore - get in touch!

I have a passion for supporting men and young men in the ever changing world we now live in. The rules are changing rapidly and sometimes it is difficult to know how to make sense of it all and yet be true to ourselves. Learning how to stay safe in a world of family and interpersonal violence, substance use, grief and loss and so many other stresses, when we feel isolated and alone, is challenging and this is where I can help. I support couples and individuals too.

My clients are at a point in their lives where they know they want to improve things for themselves and for their family/loved ones. They may not know where to start, they may feel they can't place a finger on exactly what is happening, but they know they want to be a better version of themselves. They want more out of life and although they may feel frustrated, they are eager to put in the work and learn skills that will bring about change in themselves that makes them the better version they envision.

I find joy in working with clients who identify as Christian. I am interested in helping struggling Christians find peace, when suffering from any challenging life issue. I counsel from a Christ-centred perspective using a Bible based approach to suffering. Relationships and life's troubles can cause much grief but they don't have to. There is purpose in all that life throws at us, and our reactions, choices and behaviours can be opportunities for positive change in us. This change is not just a Biblical formula but God's work in us, to make us become the person He created us to be. It is a privledge to walk with you through this

Hi, I'm Sara, an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with a special interest in trauma and PTSD. Trauma and PTSD can be complex with many layers. It impacts the body, brain, relationships sense of safety and trust in ourselves and the world around us. When we have experienced trauma or been exposed to traumatic events we tend to push the memories or images out of our mind, trying to get on with life as if nothing has happened. This takes a huge amount of energy to keep getting on with everyday life.

What would you like to change? Is there something you feel is holding you back but you just can't figure out what or why? Sometimes you might just want someone to talk to that isn't a friend or family member to give you an independent insight to a problem. Whatever you are looking for, I can help you reframe what isn't working and give you a different perspective. I've helped many people see their lives more clearly and be the person they want to be. Regularly I get feedback from my clients that they feel lighter just by talking to me.

The client informs my counselling approach, not any theory or modality. It's about making the client feel comfortable and being able to communicate confidently with an end goal in sight. I follow the 80/20 rule in counselling; the client talks 80% of the time, and I respond 20% of the time. With 13+ years working as a mental health nurse, both in the private and public sector, I have helped hundreds of clients and I am versed in all facets of mental health counselling. As a counsellor, I offer a safe and non-judgmental space for personal growth and healing, helping individuals overcome challenges to achieve lasting positive change.

I work with individuals and couples who are trying to overcome psychological barriers or process confusing emotions. These could be related to mental health, such as chronic anxiety, depression, conflict, intrusive thoughts or disturbing dreams. They could also be related to more general goals for personal growth and self-development. In the case of couples, reasons for starting therapy may include issues with communication or trust, or coping with significant life events.
