Hi, I'm Roberta and I have been calling Australia 'home' for a few years. With both a Bachelor and a Master’s degree in Psychology, as well as an ongoing Graduate Diploma in Relationship Counselling, I bring a wealth of experience working with diverse populations. My professional journey has allowed me to work extensively with young children, adults facing various mental health and life challenges, women recovering from intimate partner violence, and couples seeking to improve their relationships. I strongly believe in the resilience of the human spirit and that understanding what has happened to us is the key to transformation.

In my work I harness my own personal strengths of connecting and relating quickly and easily with people and my sense of purpose in life which I believe is to help people be the best they can be.
Do you feel like you are not living the life you imagined, feeling overwhelmed, struggling with day to day stressors and not even close to reaching your potential? Do you suffer from anxiety and negative thinking patterns which take you away from the life you want to lead? Do you feel like there's something holding you back from performing at your best? Imagine you could wake up and you had learnt to live with your fear, anxiety, stress and life's struggles and they weren't holding you back anymore and you were able to thrive. Wouldn't that be great!

The way I work is interactive, collaborative, intuitive, and respectful. I work analytically with my clients by investigating how early childhood experiences have shaped current thinking and behaviours. We explore the links between unconscious and conscious thoughts, symbolism, beliefs, emotions, desires, and how they impact daily life. The work lies within the unconscious to conscious links, how one relates to their world, allowing unspoken languages of the body to express deeply felt emotions and thought patterns. As your ‘story’ unfolds, together we work to find meanings, diverse perspectives, and solutions to your concerns.

I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship based on empathy and trust underpins meaningful and lasting change. I also understand that reaching out for support is the first step but it’s often the most difficult.

Life Coaching Counsellors

What can I expect from life coaching?

Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.

Can a life coach help treat anxiety?

Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.

Can life coaching be done online?

Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.

How long does life coaching last?

Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
