Do you frequently experience feelings of anxiety, panic, stress, worry, tension, or edginess? You're not alone. Anxiety is one of the most common reasons that people seek therapy in Perth.
The good news is that anxiety is a treatable condition. Specialising in anxiety counselling, I can provide you with anxiety management techniques to obtain relief from stress, overcome panic, and manage stressful situations confidently and calmly.

Depression Therapy in Perth

Are you currently struggling with persistent feelings of low mood, sadness, a diminished interest in activities you once enjoyed, as well as experiencing hopelessness or a sense of worthlessness? These are some of the typical signs and symptoms of depression.
It's essential to recognise that suffering from depression doesn't have to be forever. You are not broken. You're just stuck. The good news is that with the right support from a skilled therapist, most people with depression can achieve a full recovery.

Perth Therapy for Childhood Trauma & Abuse
​
Childhood trauma, be it physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, can harm several areas of a person's adult life. The trauma may specifically impact an individual's ability to enter into meaningful and rewarding relationships. I offer psychotherapy and counselling in Perth for adult survivors of childhood abuse aimed at addressing and healing this trauma.
Drug & Alcohol Counselling Perth
​
Is substance dependence taking a toll on your relationships, family, physical health, mental health, employment, studies or finances?
Effective addiction counselling aims to resolve your uncertainty around change and address any mental health issues attached to your substance dependence, such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem or past trauma.
LGBT Counselling Perth
​
Are you currently facing challenges or concerns related to your sexual orientation? Perhaps you are uncertain about your gender identity and how it may impact your life?
​
As an experienced LGBTQ+ counsellor and gender therapist in Perth, I understand the unique challenges that individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer encounter. I offer a secure, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can openly explore these issues.
Low Self-Esteem Counselling Perth
​
Struggling with low confidence? Maintaining a healthy level of self-esteem is crucial for our relationships and careers. Traumatic events, like relationship breakdowns or redundancy, can significantly impact our sense of self-worth. Unresolved childhood issues and a challenging family environment can also take their toll on our ability to think positively about ourselves.

How often should I attend counselling, and how many sessions will I need?The frequency of counselling sessions depends on your individual needs and goals. Typically, clients start with weekly sessions to build momentum and address issues consistently. As you progress, the frequency may decrease to bi-weekly or monthly sessions. Your therapist will help determine the best schedule for you based on your specific situation and the progress you make. The number of counselling sessions you will need varies depending on your individual circumstances and goals. Some people may find significant benefit in just a few sessions, while others might require ongoing support over a longer period. Your counsellor will work with you to develop a personalised plan and regularly review your progress to determine the appropriate length of therapy.
-
What can I expect in counselling sessions?In counselling sessions, you can expect a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental environment where you can openly discuss your thoughts and feelings. Your therapist will listen actively, ask questions to understand your situation better, and work with you to identify goals and develop strategies to address your concerns. Sessions may involve exploring past experiences, gaining insight into current issues, and learning new coping skills. The process is collaborative, tailored to your needs, and aimed at helping you achieve personal growth and well-being.
-
Do I need a referral for counselling?No, you generally do not need a referral to attend counselling. You can contact a counsellor directly to schedule an appointment. However, if you wish to claim a Medicare rebate for your sessions, a referral letter and mental health care plan from your GP are required.
-
Will what I discuss in counselling remain confidential?All information you discuss in counselling will be kept confidential and will not be revealed to anyone without your written permission. Therapists adhere to strict confidentiality guidelines to protect your privacy. The only exceptions to your right to privacy involve the following: * Where there is a reason to suspect that there is a risk of harm to yourself or another person. * Where there is reason to suspect that a serious crime is going to be committed. * In response to a legal requirement to do so.
