Counselling in Elwood, VIC
Helene levin
Counsellor, ACA-L2
Verified
My clients are diverse and come from different cultures and are different ages and genders. Talking about their issues in a safe, secure, confidential space is therapeutic in itself, as is the importance of empowering my clients, validating their concerns, and normalising their experiences. Sometimes this is all my clients need. Others require assistance in setting goals, acquiring tools to manage their anxiety, tools to help them live independant, flourishing lives, knowing that they have the strategies, techniques and of course insight into themselves.

The counselling services enable clients to gain insight into their thoughts, feelings and behaviours via approaches which include talking, reflecting, and mindfulness. I build a collaborative working relationship with clients, sensitively tailoring the support to meet specific needs. Creating a ‘therapeutic alliance’ is where clients feel safe and supported to explore difficult situations, and understand emotions, reactions and responses. The therapeutic alliance provides opportunities to talk through, find resolution and work towards making the desired changes to improve wellbeing while facilitating personal growth and development.

Passionate about the mental health and emotional wellbeing of infants, children, and women living with the effects of trauma, disability or mental health diversity, I work gently and honour the intrinsic capacities of all clients. Clients can expect collaboration and child/client-centred practice emphasising relational attunement, compassion, and trauma sensitivity as the elements necessary for change and healing. Psychotherapy is a process that unfolds over time to build a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. Expressive and relational approaches are used to enhance this process. I see NDIS clients and accept FV FSP referrals

Are you forever in dread of the doorbell? Do you feel overwhelmed by the way you’re living and wish you could let go of possessions so you can live a full life with less? Or are you ready to let go of a lost loved one's things but don't think you have the ability to handle the raw emotions it will raise? At times our possessions provide us with comfort, remind us of people who have past through our lives, or help us feel in control in a world of chaos and constant change. However, if you are spending hours of your day dealing with, thinking about, or accumulating possessions instead of doing other valuable activities you need help.
