Alexandra Grace - 'Understanding you' counselling
Counsellor, MA, ACA-L2
Online Only
I love working with anyone who has engaged with the human experience, so everyone! When there is someone who is willing to sit across from me and share in whatever way they are ready, what support they need or how they are struggling or their goals and passions and the perceived barriers to achieving them, I am willing to work with. I believe this process is not about leading a person to where they are going but walking alongside them. I do like to challenge clients where it makes sense as I am of the belief that therapy is action based and cannot just rely on the talking and the reflection but needs to be complimented with action.

Two Women Walking
Counsellor, MA, PACFA
If you're at a crossroads in life - contemplating a new direction but unsure of the way ahead - you're not alone. Every woman's life is a series of transitions. And navigating them by yourself can be scary, sad or just plain confusing. Maybe a relationship is forming - or fraying. Maybe you're transitioning to motherhood - or to an empty nest. You could be on the cusp of perimenopause - or poised to launch a new career. You might be questioning your sexuality - or struggling with a recent grief. These turning points are the times when we most need to be heard and held. When we need someone to walk alongside us.

FAQ - About Adult Counselling
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioural therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.

How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists in Australia hold various credentials depending on their training. Counsellors and Psychotherapists are registered with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) or the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and their qualifications and practice are overseen by these professional organisations. Psychologists must be registered with the Psychology Board of Australia (PsyBA) and have professional designations such as Clinical Psychologist, General Psychologist, or Counselling Psychologist. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.

How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
