Online Counselling for Victoria

Do you feel overwhelmed or are you finding it difficult to cope? Part of being human and living life, means that there are times when we need extra support, but it isn't always easy to reach out. Other times it's hard to reach out because we've experienced things so painful and traumatic that it feels like you will never be understood. This often leaves us feeling unworthy, not good enough and unsafe and burdened with a pain that can never be shared.

Family Violence, where I speak with women about their expereince of abuse and the aftermath that brings. Co-Parenting, Court, AVO's etc and 2. Sexual Assault where we speak about the sexual assault , flashbacks, reporting and trying to build new healthy/trusting relationships etc. There is a lot of stuff that comes with trauma so no topic is off bounds to me!
