Counselling in Thornbury, VIC
Hi there, I’m Madeline. I am an accredited mental health social worker at Sit with Self Counselling, living in Melbourne with my partner and baby. What the heck does Sit with Self mean? I’m so glad you asked. Connecting with your authentic, compassionate and curious Self is at the centre of my therapeutic practice, and is where the name Sit with Self comes from. I hold the firm belief that all people have access to this Self (yes, even you!) when given the space, time and support to venture inward.

Starting this process can feel daunting; the first step is for us to meet each other. I warmly welcome individual and couple clients of all cultural and class backgrounds, and diverse sexuality, relationship and affectional orientations, to email me for a free phone consultation to discuss what you need and how I might support you. Psychotherapy is a wonderful opportunity to develop relational self-awareness and explore your experience, as well as a tool to engage with difficulty and distress in your life. By helping you to understand and illuminate your feelings and experiences, we begin a process of discovery and awareness.

My interest lies in helping individuals living with trauma, anxiety-related disorders, interpersonal difficulties and emotional regulation issues. I help clients improve their relationship with themselves (and by extension others) through developing a self-compassionate understanding of their emotional difficulties. From this place we move forward together to process "stuck" memories and explore the development of new ways of being in the world.

Hi, I'm Alex. I'm a counsellor and clinical supervisor who works from a social justice, human rights, and non-pathologising lens. I use existential, trauma-informed and person-centred perspectives in counselling. I offer a gentle and curious approach and will be a co-traveller invested in your journey with you. I will not see you as ill, unwell or disordered, but rather as a human who thinks, feels and experiences the world in response to their current or past experiences. I offer clinical supervision both in person and online also.
