Sharon Rowland
Counsellor, PACFA
Olinda, VIC 3788
Alongside my qualifications in counselling, I am a mother of four strong, independent individuals (now adults).
If you’re experiencing challenges in your relationships, feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply not feeling like yourself, you don’t have to go through it alone. I work with both individuals and couples, supporting people through relationship difficulties, family challenges, and the times in life when things feel more complicated than expected. My approach is calm, thoughtful, and collaborative. I believe meaningful change happens when people feel safe, understood, and supported — but also gently challenged to grow.

You're capable, self-aware, and you've done a lot of living — but somewhere along the way, things stopped feeling right. My clients are often professionals navigating workplace stress and burnout, women in midlife renegotiating identity through perimenopause and menopause, and people who keep noticing the same patterns in their relationships and want to understand where they come from. Many are holding everything together for everyone else while quietly struggling inside.

Ricky Elkins
Psychotherapist, PACFA
Abbotsford, VIC 3067
I offer male-specific counselling - partly because I've done my own version of this work and I firmly believe that every man deserves the opportunity to live a life that reflects his full potential - one no longer weighed down by shame, isolation, or outdated ideas about what it means to be a man. My approach is unhurried and welcoming of whatever a client brings. I pay close attention to what's happening moment-to-moment, including in the body, and use that awareness to help a man understand patterns that show up in his relationships, while modelling healthy relationships within the therapy space itself.

FAQ - About Adult Counselling
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioural therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.

How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists in Australia hold various credentials depending on their training. Counsellors and Psychotherapists are registered with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) or the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and their qualifications and practice are overseen by these professional organisations. Psychologists must be registered with the Psychology Board of Australia (PsyBA) and have professional designations such as Clinical Psychologist, General Psychologist, or Counselling Psychologist. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.

How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
