Counselling in Perth, TAS

Hi my name is Jacqui. My type of therapy has a focus on acceptance, and helping people become their most authentic selves! I have always been involved in animal rights, and animal welfare and I am happiest when spending time with my family and our animals! Although my practical experience is minimal, my life experiences have given me insight into the ability to recover and strive.

As a couple's counsellor, working on communication, managing conflict and strengthening relationships using fondness & admiration is the focus of my work. The use of a thorough assessment with a structured technique based on evidence-based interventions allows for successful outcomes in therapy. This couple's approach recognises the 'relationship' as the client, which incorporates the individual's commitment to work on their relationship.

People who reach out and connect with me, are usually womxn or LGBTIQ+ adults, with difficulties in self, relationship, family, career, community or identity, or professionals / leaders in human services or health and medical fields. These folks are usually already highly reflective and have a readiness and willingness to work on issues affecting and surrounding them. People may have realised, or would like to further validate, that they are worthy of investing in this personal development and time. Therapy is a form of self-care, self-love and self-investment.

I am a senior social worker with many years experience in private practice and working in government and non-government agencies across Australia. I have worked with men, women, children and families, including people from different backgrounds such as Military personal, veterans and their families, Indigenous language groups, migrants and humanitarian entrants, and prisoners, just to name a few. I am a confident, highly motivated professional and take pride in my ability to communicate, both orally and written, with clients, management and supporting agencies to ensure a high level and comprehensive service.

I am an integrative psychotherapist & holistic counsellor, qualified & registered with PACFA. I support you to feel safe in your body and mind so that you can embrace your whole self. In sessions, we create a safe container, move at a pace that honours your individual needs and start by focusing on resourcing you with the tools you need to thrive. When appropriate, we may dive more deeply into the unconscious patterning to discover the root cause of the challenges you may be experiencing. The approach I take is person-centred, trauma-informed and built on a foundation of openness, acceptance, curiosity & compassion.

If you are wrestling with conflict, struggling with troubling emotional states or wanting to be more comfortable in your skin and looking for someone to work with, I am available to provide a respectful and open hearted approach and well developed therapeutic skills.

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 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

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.

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.

I love supporting children age 4-12yrs with anxiety, behavioural challenges, emotion regulation & low self-esteem. I love integrating the Polyvagal Theory within my sessions. Sessions are a fun & interactive with a safe and supportive approach to engage with children. ​I am the director of Calm Kidz Program, a registered Counsellor with ACA, a Safe & Sound Protocol Provider (Music Therapy program). I am trained in Social Thinking, Neuro-Developmental Theory to practice, Emotion Coaching, the Zones of Regulation as well as Child Developmental Practices. - Your child is not giving you a hard time, Your child is having a hard time!

Just a bit about me, I have 6+ years of experience counseling people with all kinds of issues. I am well versed in ACT, CBT, DBT, and other modalities, however, I prefer to work with my clients to determine what they need and how best to support them through their journey.

Offering counselling for children, teens, individuals & families, '& Pause Counselling & Therapy' aims to create a space where you can push pause on the demands of study or work, the expectations of friends & family, or the ache and weight of a long carried load, & be listened to, heard, and valued as an individual. Where you can be still and refill emotionally, mentally, physically, & spiritually, giving you space to breathe; time to rest, reflect and reassess. Time to step back, think, let things go, & recalibrate in order to for you to thrive, not just ‘survive’. Gaining greater insight and understanding; a fresh new perspective.

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!
