Counselling in Murrumbeena, VIC

Play based parent child sessions can be really impactful way of helping you connect with your child to work through inner feelings, and process what might be challenging in your relationship. It is often really tough for children to express what's going on for them using words, and this is often why they find ways to communicate with us through their behaviour. This can be a little scary and overwhelming for us as caregivers, who may just be needing things to become a little easier at home. I work collaboratively and authentically with you and your child through the safety of play, where I draw on your wisdom, love, and knowledge.

I have a naturally warm and empathic nature. I intuitively know how to bring out the best in people. I have a firm belief that everyone has the potential to rise above what they are experiencing to reach the highest version of themselves. I see clients with a broad range of concerns, who come from diverse backgrounds. I offer clients the experience of being heard & having their feelings validated. I am focused on supporting individuals, couples and families in accepting that they have everything they need to thrive, and they just need help accessing that part of themselves or their relationship.

Maybe you are facing some difficult situations in your life right now. You need to talk, you want to be heard and validated and you have the desire to propel forward. When you came to me with your worries and concerns, I saw your courage to change and your motivation to grow.

My clients often are looking for ways to better handle the challenges of daily living. They may be feeling these challenges are insurmountable or that they are fundamentally inadequate to be able to cope. They might not feel that they have a good understanding of who they truly are, what it is they want out of life, or what they have to offer others. They might also struggle to draw on the resources around them and make the most of their personal relationships. They may struggle to find the voice inside to reassure them that, as hard as things can feel, they can change.

Life's challenges can lead to anxiety, stress, depression, burnout, sadness, loneliness, grief, trauma and more. These issues can have a significant impact on our overall well-being, and it's essential to address them in a supportive and understanding environment. As a mental health specialist counselling centre, our primary goal is to provide you with a safe space where you can explore your concerns and work towards finding effective coping strategies. We aim to create a warm and supportive space and by listening attentively to your story, we hope to help you heal, grow and face your life's challenges with strength & resilience.

Relationships can be a source of wellbeing and stability, but they can also have a profound negative impact on our lives and mental health when things are not going well. If you want to learn how to build and maintain healthy relationships, if past hurt and trauma have damaged your relationship and you don't know how to heal from it, relationship counselling can give you the tools and support you need to reclaim a loving relationship with your partner and loved ones. We all have an innate need for connection but don't know how to communicate our needs effectively. Counselling can help you build the kind of relationships you long for

Hi, I am Yuki. I am a neurodivergent & queer counsellor who is committed to providing a safe & nonjudgmental (shame-free) space for all genders, identities, neurotypes, and bodies. I collaborate with clients to explore their unique inner experiences being identified as neurodivergent; LGBTQIA+; CALD and more. I work from a non-pathologising stance, meaning that I will not see clients solely as their labels and/or diagnoses, rather, each person is their own unique being and we co-design strategies that work for the particular individual/situation.

I have a masters in Gestalt psychotherapy and work with a range of people and issues, including LGBTQIA+ folk, their families and others whose experiences of marginalisation have affected their mental health. A lifelong wish has been to enable others to explore their own healing journey. Emotional difficulties or life situations can feel overwhelming to deal with alone, and support is needed. I have learnt the value of analytic therapy through my own healing and see my work through a Gestalt lens. We are human, which means we are flawed and unique beings. 'We are all unique pieces of art in the making'.

My name is Brigitte Benary, and I am passionate about helping women gain inner freedom through Soulful Energetics. If you're feeling overwhelmed by trauma, facing obstacles that seem insurmountable, or struggling with challenging emotions, I am here to guide you through the transformative process. Within a nurturing and client-centered approach, I aim to support you in rediscovering your self-confidence, trust, and self-worth, fostering a genuine relationship with your inner wisdom. Together, we'll embark on a journey to find that deep connection to freedom you seek, and I will be right by your side, providing unwavering support.

I support adults, including parents, wherever they are in their journey of understanding ADHD and neurodivergence, to move forward to their best life. You may be starting the journey towards understanding a later in life ADHD diagnosis (which was my own personal journey). Or you may be parenting a child who is ADHD or autistic. You may be trying to improve your current relationship, or wanting to heal from a harmful past. You would like to be supported by someone who has lived experience of ADHD and living as a neurodivergent person in a neurotypical world.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with experience in both the private and government sectors. I work with adolescents (15 years and older), young adults, and adults, and I’m especially passionate about working with the LGBTQIA+ community.

Hi! I am a Clinical Psychologist and work with teenagers and adults. I believe in providing a warm and non-judgemental space for my clients that allows them to explore their challenges and work towards achieving their goals. I work with clients experiencing a wide range of concerns including anxiety, stress management, depression, relationship difficulties, and eating difficulties.

I believe that loving one’s self is a prerequisite to loving others: our relationships with others are all mirrors of our relationship with ourselves. As a counsellor with over 15 years of experience, I understand that life can be challenging sometimes, and we can lose our way in it. I treat my clients with warmth, empathy, and unconditional support, giving them the space and confidence that they need to walk through the pains of their growth and once again find their love for their true self.
