Counselling in West Perth, WA

I am a registered psychologist and clinical psychology registrar offering counselling and psychotherapy to adults and older adults experiencing a range of mental health difficulties. Drawing from psychodynamic and relational models of psychotherapy, I aim to provide a safe, empathic and exploratory space for those that I work with.

We will work together using person-centred, family systems, narrative, IFS, ACT, Somatic, artistic and Trauma Focused methods.

Do emotions sometimes become too painful and overwhelming? Taking that first step to contact someone for help can be very difficult. Establishing a caring therapeutic relationship attuned to individual needs is central to Susanna’s work. As research supports, the therapeutic relationship is the most powerful determinant of a positive outcome in psychotherapy. Susanna encourages her clients to explore and become aware how early experiences shape their present thoughts and behaviours. Gaining a greater understanding of their circumstances, allows for an empowered sense of their ability to create positive change.
