THE COUNSELLING ROOM

WARM, COMPASSIONATE, EFFECTIVE COUNSELLING

IN A SAFE, CONFIDENTIAL, QUIET SPACE


 

The Counselling Room is for people who are looking for a warm, compassionate, collaborative Clinical Counsellor. 
I am 'real', down to earth, professional, and skilled. My ideal is to have my clients feel safe, valued, and genuinely heard. I will always deeply honour your story, and we will set treatment goals which reflect what you wish to see happen with your life.

I have a deep belief that most people are where they are for very good reasons- no one gets up in the morning with the aim to stuff up their life. So, in our work together, we will find ways of making meaning of where you are in your journey, and we will find ways of helping you to move forward.

The Counselling Room- offering professional, kind, collaborative psychotherapy in Springwood.

Areas of interest:
Couple’s relationship and marriage counselling, trauma, complex grief,
survivors of sexual abuse, Christian counselling, loss, ADHD and neurodivergence.

CHRISTIAN COUNSELLING

Some clients really enjoy experiencing their counselling within a christian framework. Being able to invite God to be part of their change process is really meaningful for them.

Others are seeking just traditional counselling. My philosophy is to try to genuinely match the needs of each client, and I will always use therapies and techniques which most suit any particular client.

No-one actually gets taught how to make a relationship work, so it isn't any wonder that we often don't know what to do when things start to fall apart.

  • Couple goals

  • Communication

  • Intimacy issues

  • Crises

  • Creating true safety and security in the relationship

I have undergone intensive Post-Master’s training in The Developmental Model of relationship counselling, to help couples find their way back to love.
