Ayu Gribble
Counsellor, PACFA
Scarborough, WA 6019
Life’s pressures, challenges and transitions can leave us overwhelmed. It is at these times we feel the need to be heard. Also, to experience connection, to feel respected, accepted, and for someone to show us deep compassion and understanding. Sometimes, we just need a little help. Whether you have been struggling for some time or an impacting life event has arisen, the opportunity to talk through these issues with someone can be life supporting and life changing. Your wish may be to explore tools or techniques, or just to be in a safe environment to fully express your deepest thoughts and feelings.

I offer both in-person, online and phone counselling.
You’re kind, thoughtful, and gentle but inside you feel overwhelmed, unseen, or emotionally drained. Perhaps you’ve spent years with partners who invalidate you, talk down to you, or leave you walking on eggshells. You overthink, feel deeply, and get snappy when stressed or overloaded. You want to break painful patterns, manage your emotions, reduce anxiety, and finally experience relationships that feel calm, safe, and supportive.

Psychologist, MPsych, PsyBA General

Looking for a safe, supportive space to move past what's keeping you stuck in life? We'll work collaboratively to break unhelpful patterns and rewrite limiting narratives. While we can't change the past, we can transform how it affects you today. Psychology sessions with me are integrative drawing from CBT, ACT, DBT, EMDR, IFS, and narrative therapy—grounded in trauma and developmental theory. There is no one-size-fits-all model of therapy so I've spent the last 20 years gathering ideas and strategies from various approaches.

I offer therapy in person in Balcatta, Perth and also work with clients around Australia via telehealth.
I work with teens (16+) and adults who feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or disconnected from themselves and their lives. Many of the people I support struggle with perfectionism, burnout, overthinking, self-criticism, people pleasing, or feeling “not good enough.” I also have a special interest in eating disorders, trauma, and neurodivergence. Therapy can be a space to slow down, better understand yourself, build emotional safety, and reconnect with the life you want to live.

Relationships are tough! Add in each other's trauma and you are bouncing off everyone like you're in a jumping castle. The old adage of 'individual stuff' and 'couple/s stuff' is true. Conversations can feel like they are going around in circles or rehashing old stuff. You feel stuck. Your partner/s feels stuck. No one is moving forward. This wasn't the life you imagined when you got together. It was meant to be rainbows and fairytales, not discussions around housework, money and sex - or friends and inlaws! What if I told you that 'your stuff' is affecting the relationship? It's a big possibility. It does not have to be that way!

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.

When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.

How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
