Women's Issues Counselling in Mornington, VIC

Hello, I offer holistic and inclusive care for individuals and couples who are dealing with life transitions or relational issues, particularly those involving identity changes, and loss or grief. With professional and lived experience among cultural, gender and neurodiverse communities, I understand that adjusting to these events and stages of life can be complicated, and distressing without the right kind of emotional support. It can also lead us to question our sense of who we are, and how we can move forward with our lives. Together we can start to explore whatever is happening for you in a safe space and trauma-informed way.

Zoe has a special interest in providing non-pathologising clinical psychology care. She is passionate about women's health care and uses a strengths based approach to empower, enrich wisdom and support health and well-being. She views the menstrual cycle as a psychological resource to support self-care and well-being. Her approach is individually tailored to your needs, utilising psycho-education, solution-focused therapy, ACT/mindfulness, narrative practices, CBT and interpersonal process.

We can focus on a specific problem area you bring to therapy, and delve to a deeper level of understanding of the issue/s so as to resolve it, or we can work in a more fluid, open-ended manner, with self-discovery in mind. While I am not resistant to diagnosis and working within a pathological lens, I like to see people outside of narrow diagnostic labels. In the first instance, my first approach is to understand a client’s suffering by learning about them as unique individuals with complex histories and adaptive coping strategies. As I engage wholeheartedly with clients, my ask is that clients attempt to engage wholeheartedly too.

I’m a psychologist in clinical practice on Mornington Peninsula for some 13 years now. I see adults (20+) as well as older adults (65+) and couples.

You know how some men and women who are people-pleasers struggle with being too busy and always putting others first so they push down their own feelings, needs, and wants, which means they never feel truly seen, heard, known, and loved? Well, what I do is provide a safe space to deepen exploration of themselves by offering humanistic-experiential therapy sessions. This allows my clients to understand themselves better, honour their emotions, needs, and wants, and improve their relationships with others.

Fiona provides treatment for children, adolescents and adults experiencing issues with: Depression, Anxiety and Phobias, Stress, Ante-Natal and Post-Natal Depression and Anxiety, Grief and Loss, Adjustment Issues, Sleeping Difficulties, Trauma, Bullying, Learning Difficulties, Self-Esteem, Drug and Alcohol problems.

I am interested in helping clients live their best life by helping them process and integrate past traumas. My practice is inspired by Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS) and involves helping people identify and accept different parts of themselves in order to heal parts that are wounded. I have worked in the field of trauma for over 10 years, in private practice, as a researcher and as a Counsellor/Advocate for the Victorian Centre for Survivors of Torture and Trauma.

I wholeheartedly believe in therapeutic healing through safety, compassion & acceptance in the present moment. If we are in distress, feeling lost, alone, sad, anxious or angry it can be hard to know whom to talk with or, what to talk about. Sometimes we don't want to talk at all to start with and, would prefer to do a creative/movement exercise to express ourselves. Maybe we know exactly what we want to talk about and explore, maybe learning new skills to integrate into daily life. I can be there to support you, whatever stage you are at.

Life throws all sorts of curveballs. It's a necessary skill to be able to dodge or deal with them before things fall to pieces and these skills can be learned! And if it's too late for that, I can help you to pick up the pieces and put them back together in a way that creates a stronger and more connected you.
