Online Counselling for Glen Waverley

I specialize in anger management, particularly those facing criminal charges, domestic, violence or intervention orders, providing court approved certificates. I also focus on relationship issues where there is conflict in the relationship and the issues that arise from that, including stress, anxiety and depression.

I am a Forensic Counsellor, Assessor and Psychotherapist with years of experience working with adolescents, adults, and families in private practice, corrections and community settings. I am a member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and work with people who are feeling overwhelmed and stressed, are being held back by anxiety or depression; are concerned about their drug and alcohol use; or are trying to support someone with substance use issues. I understand that these issues can be complicated and multifaceted and therapy will be tailored to meet your individual needs and may incorporate different approaches.

I am a strength-based, person-centred counsellor who facilitates individuals’ wellbeing through a holistic approach by liaising with external stakeholders as needed. I am also experienced in responding to critical incidents that pose risk to any individual. I enjoy working with culturally diverse individuals from different ethnical backgrounds regardless of their age or sex. I am very enthusiastic about making valuable contributions to the community to enable individuals confident enough to live more potential and happier lives.

I am a very capable and committed counsellor, and passionate about supporting clients to make a difference in their life through empowerment, reflection and understanding. Each person is unique and requires an individual approach in meeting his or her specific needs. You will feel connected, safe and heard in sessions with me, working collaboratively in a positive and uplifting environment. I am deeply committed to helping you overcome immediate concerns and skilled at using various therapies and techniques in a client-centred approach to provide you with the tools to grow and work towards living life to the fullest.

I am a registered psychologist, and have experience working with a variety of clients within public and private settings. I utilise a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Psychodynamic- and Schema-informed therapy. I can assist with mood disorders (such as anxiety and depression), adjustment issues, stress management (including improving emotional regulation, and impulsive and compulsive behaviours), interpersonal/relationship difficulties, and difficulties associated with prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal mental health.

I believe that despite our histories and circumstances we strive for purpose, fulfilment, and growth. I strive to incorporate this belief in my work by creating an atmosphere of safety and mutual respect for people to overcome difficulties, achieve an increased sense of satisfaction and gain effective control over their lives. My experience of working in the area mental health in Australia and India has helped me understand that the cultural lens is important when navigating distress, improving quality of life, and reducing symptoms. I help people help themselves through a warm, compassionate ,person centric and eclectic approach.
