Counselling in Maybush

Hi, I'm Mel and I can support you, or your child, if you are feeling anxious or overwhelmed with life, whether that's because of a bereavement, work/school issues, or just life in general, in a safe, nurturing space, for you to explore your feelings. I am a dedicated and compassionate counsellor, and I am committed to helping individuals find hope, healing, and personal growth. I provide a safe and nurturing space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I have worked with adults and children facing various challenges, including anxiety, depression, bereavement, trauma, self harm and low self esteem.

Starting personal therapy is a big decision and it makes sense to wonder where to start and which psychotherapist to choose. How would you know what’s right for you? Making the decision to tell someone about the things that bother you most is not an easy one. However, if you are here, I would guess there’s a need to talk. Whatever it is - whether it is problems in the present, memories of the past or worries about the future - I can promise you a safe and confidential space to talk about it. A journey to find out what can make things better for you is a lot easier if you’re not alone in it.

Is anxiety, depression, or repeating patterns of unhelpful behaviour impacting you?

Hi, I'm Dawn. I can help you with the overwhelming feelings of anxiety, depression, stress, grief or anger. In particular, I can support you to understand the impact of childhood experiences on your adult life. If you struggle to understand or self-regulate your emotions, or if you are feeling stuck, you may be feeling as if you are not yourself. I work with clients who have experienced trauma such as childhood sexual abuse and domestic abuse. However, I can also help with the after effects of any challenging life experience. I will work alongside you to help you understand and overcome these difficulties.

Does life sometimes feel like a jigsaw puzzle with pieces not slotting together? I am a great believer that we need to invest in ourselves. When life becomes difficult and those pieces are just not fitting, counselling gives you the opportunity to focus on yourself, make you the priority in an otherwise busy life. I have been through such times and it encouraged me to train as a counsellor to help clients with general mental health issues and other life difficulties, such as grief, addiction, sexuality, domestic abuse and anger issues.

It may be that your the person with a partner who is dealing with a mental health issue and you feel you need someone to talk to. Whatever it is that has brought you here I will work with you side by side on your journey.

Are you struggling to cope with life? Are you experiencing difficulties in your relationships?You may be feeling confused, anxious, frightened, alone, unable to make sense of how you are feeling. You may have some idea of what is troubling you or it may be less clear, but with an underlying feeling that somehow you're not ok.

With greater self awareness you will become more in control of your life and be better able to make informed choices.

Hi, I am Maria and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (MBACP) and Person-Centred Counsellor with over 10 years experience of working within mental health. I work with adults from the age of 18 years old. I know that seeking counselling can be a daunting process, however, I offer a warm, supportive, and non-judgemental space where we can explore any issues that could be preventing you from living a more fulfilling life. My years of training and experience in becoming a counsellor have taught me that each client is unique with their own perspective and understanding of the problem and their recovery.

Through my work I have noticed that children with low confidence and low self esteem can express this through becoming withdrawn and avoidant or becoming angry and controlling. Parents come to me and tell me their child always wants control or they feel like they are stepping on eggshells when around their child. Parents might say that they wish their child would make friends and be more sociable, they always play alone. As a play therapist I help children to become more confident and happy within themselves which enables them to have positive relationships with their family and peers.

I specialise in working with couples and individuals, and regularly work with clients in areas including: communication, affairs and infidelity, blended families, bereavement (loss and grief), embedded trauma, depression and anxiety. In my practice, I endeavour to work with clients in an empathic, collaborative and non-judgemental way. My integrated approach uses systemic theory (including exploring your thought processes and present situation) and psychodynamic theory (historical exploration linking to unconscious thoughts and behaviour). I also apply aspects of emotionally-focused therapy (EFT); and trauma focused therapies.
