Counselling in Yokine, WA

I am a Clinical Psychologist who works in a collaborative, warm, genuine and non-judgmental way to assist people with reaching their goals. This can mean working with someone who is experiencing mental health difficulties as a result of mental illness or a challenging life event or helping a client who is relatively ‘well’. My aim is to provide people with the knowledge, skills and strength needed to make sustainable and meaningful changes in their lives. My practice involves providing psychotherapy for children, adolescents and adults experiencing personal, emotional, behavioural, social, educational and/or occupational issues.

I offer counselling in a safe and supportive environment for you to seek help and guidance. Whether you're dealing with personal issues, relationship problems, or mental health concerns, my goal is to help you overcome challenges and improve your well-being. I will guide you through your challenges, helping you gain a fresh perspective and clarity on how to move forward in a positive direction. Together we'll find a way through your distress. I will encourage you to look at what actions you can take to get you to where you want to be in your life, whether that be more powerful or more peaceful or both.

Life changes can bring about uncomfortable emotions, and no matter how strong one is, there are moments in life when everything becomes too much to bear. In such times we may need some external help. As a counsellor, I offer you a safe space of empathetic listening to unravel your thoughts and support you in overcoming challenges. I will work with you in learning coping skills, become aware of unhelpful patterns and improve your day-to-day experience. Enhancing your awareness will move you toward the changes needed to reconnect to yourself, get closer to the person you would like to be and live a more fulfilling life.

If you are struggling with your mental health, interpersonal relationships or just wanting a safe environment to discuss better coping strategies for self development and growth, I would love to meet with you. My passion for mental health and my ability to connect with people easily has created a great foundation for personal and strong therapeutic relationships. Working collaboratively is very important to me as I believe feedback and discussion of sessions are essential to improving each session experience.

Change is possible. Challenges and difficulties offer opportunities for growth, and come with hidden blessings. We can reposition your perspective so that your true potential is available. We can work together to understand how past patterns/messages about the self and others hold you back. We can explore the long term vision of your life and work out a plan to you get there. The possibilities are exciting, and the work invaluable.

Hi, I am a warm, informal and collaborative clinical psychologist. My approach looks at both present concerns and past experiences. These may or may not be connected but in either way, can leave us feeling stuck, low, anxious or helpless. Together we can look at what is bothering you, explore where it began and what you would like to change or do differently. If you aren't sure what's wrong, but feel that something just isn't quite right we can work on what may be underlying your feelings and beliefs about yourself and others. By making connections, change becomes possible.

Hi, I am an experienced psychologist specializing in childhood trauma and PTSD. I utilize Schema therapy in combination with EMDR and see clients from the age of 15 and up! EMDR can be helpful for a variety of issues, not only the typical PTSD. For instance, you have experienced or witnessed something really frightening such as bullying, verbal threats, unpleasant medical or dental procedures or struggling with feelings of guilt and shame over events in your past, then EMDR can help. Body image/low self-esteem, sexuality and gender related issues are also very welcome.

I believe it is important to work with clients - not dictate to them. My preferred treatment method is to focus on the areas that you want to work on. I believe a partnership not a prescription is important. Sticking to values means more than putting them on a website - it means actually living them. I am genuine, open and also have a sense of humour (though it is twisted/cynical/dark). I work best when clients feel comfortable, if that means we swear a lot in session - I am happy to make that sacrifice! I work clients across many areas from complex trauma, relationship issues, anxiety, depression and workplace issues.
