Trauma Focused Counselling in Saint Kilda, VIC

I completed my Masters of Clinical Psychology at the University of Melbourne March 2020, and am registered with AHPRA as a Clinical Psychologist. I love the challenge of formulating for each individual client, and adapting this formulation (and treatment plan) over time as one's presentation or circumstance changes. I am passionate about working alongside clients to help them improve their quality of life, and particularly in empowering clients in their ability to cope with psychosocial stressors. Change is hard; clients do not need to be 100% motivated 100% of the time; but they need to want to want to be motivated some of the time

Hi, I'm Ingrid and I am a Counsellor and Art-based Therapist offering Telehealth services. I am a firm believer in the healing power of nurturing, supportive relationships, and the potential for change that they create. I work with individuals who may be going through difficult life experiences, or life transitions, and are needing support in navigating: grief; loss; trauma; identity issues; relationships; mental well-being, or anyone wishing to gain deeper insight into themselves.

Do you feel that something is missing but can't quite figure out what it is? Do you struggle in getting your emotional needs met in relationships? Struggling to define boundaries, repeating the same old patterns over and over again? There's a reason for what's going on, and together we'll figure out what's blocking you to gain clarity and confidence to help turn things around. I offer comprehensive therapy which can help provide insight into these patterns, helping you to transform and taking your life back.

I have a special interest in the treatment of trauma, in all its forms. This includes working with PTSD, Complex PTSD, sexual abuse/assault, attachment/relationship issues including family violence/neglect/abandonment; and mood, anxiety and somatic disorders. I believe in a safe, non-judgemental approach where we work together to identify what you are wanting to change and how to go about it, in the least distressing and most effective way possible. I am particularly interested in the use of EMDR, a broad psycho-therapeutic and empirically validated treatment approach for a variety of issues, that can facilitate profound healing.
