There are often times in our lives where we feel we need someone to talk to, in a space where we won’t be judged and are able to talk through how we are dealing with our challenges. Counselling and therapy offer just that – an opportunity to work through whatever is happening for us, while not being judged or offered advice.
As a therapist, I believe all clients possess the skill and strength to move through the difficulties they may be experiencing. It is my role to accompany a client as they explore how they feel, providing a balance of support and interpretation. Each client’s individual needs will be assessed, and a plan will be made for how to best reach your therapy goals. Having trained with an integrative approach, I utilise a variety of theories (humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural, dialectical behavioural and acceptance and commitment therapies amongst others) within my work to best support the individual client.
My therapy sessions lasts 50 minutes, and offer a client a comfortable space to say how they really feel. Sessions are treated with confidentiality and I adhere to the Australian Association of Social Workers ethical guidelines.
I believe the relationship between client and therapist is key to making progress, and will always work with the client to ensure they feel safe in the relationship. Choosing a therapist can be a daunting process, but if you have any questions or would like to arrange a consultation, please do get in touch.
