Registered provider with Bupa so rebates may be available.
You've come here because you're suffering in some way. It is my honour to be able to offer a therapy space for people who want to face the pain in their lives, and see what might be on the other side. Many people come at times of change or transition: relationships, life stages, careers, dark nights of the soul, or plunges into the deep end. Or, people come feeling stuck after years of coping with trauma and addiction. In sessions, I support you to identify the conflicts, emotions, memories, and relationship struggles that repeat and we find ways to experience these differently.

Are you feeling stuck? Do you feel like there are always challenges that stop you from a balanced life? Or maybe you are struggling with the same patterns and trauma that just won't go away? Modern life can be so complicated, there is so much happening in the world it can be hard to find our own place in it. People are struggling in this global climate. Counselling can help you to connect to yourself. So often we think about connection to others, but how can we do that when we feel a sense of unrest and disconnection to our true self?

Life doesn't come with a user's guide and all of us struggle at times. In looking for a therapist you have taken a step toward finding greater ease in your life. Psychotherapy is about building a greater awareness and understanding of your patterns in life. This allows you to find a sense of spaciousness where, rather than act reactively, you can make more conscious choices and cultivate a stronger sense of self. If you find yourself often feeling anxious or depressed, held back by past traumas, not living the life you want, or lacking direction, then please reach out so I can support you in finding the change you need.

Dr Linette Etheredge
Counsellor, PhD, PACFA
Camberwell, VIC 3124
Engaging in counselling is an act of self-care. I work with Young People & Adults exploring things that are troubling them. Issues often relate to anxiety, stress, uncertainty or discontent with themself or within their intimate relationships. Together, we explore what might be causing distress, confusion or sadness. Often a pattern emerges as clients uncover feelings of grief and loss they were previously unaware of or had tried to "get over". Through the therapeutic process, we build the awareness, understanding, acceptance and self compassion required to feel better, build skills and take action to achieve desired goals.

I help young professional women across Australia manage anxiety, burnout, and relationship challenges using practical, down-to-earth therapy that builds insight and real-life skills. Many of the women I work with are capable and driven, yet feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in unhelpful patterns. You might overthink decisions or relationships, feel constantly “on edge,” or struggle with boundaries. Together, we explore these patterns and develop practical tools to help you feel calmer, clearer, and more in control.

Are you feeling anxious, stressed, confused, emotionally overwhelmed? Does life seem overwhelming, unfair, sad, unfulfilling, directionless, hopeless? Is your relationship in distress or not as fulfilling as you’d like? You’re not alone. I endeavour to understand what is important for you, which means that I don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach. Using empathy and non-judgement, I listen to understand what life is like for you and to ‘get’ you - what you are thinking and feeling, how the events of life have impacted you, and what you want and need. I create a safe space to be open and real about what you are experiencing.
