Move Through What’s Holding You Back - Psychological Strategies with Warmth and Acceptance.

When life feels overwhelming, confusing, out of alignment we support you. Whether your concerns are due to trauma, changes in mental health, family, work, major shifts in your life or moments of deep reflection, we offer you options based on many years experience and professional qualifications. That also means you can use a Mental Health Care Plan or Workcover if that’s appropriate. We encourage you when you're feeling stuck, burnt out, or unsure of your next steps. Because we know what it’s like to be in transitional spaces or experiencing overwhelm. As the world changes and we need to change, we need to learn new ways to adapt. Counselling and psychotherapy can help to shift focus on what’s hard and negative into what’s helpful and positive.

With our compassion and clarity, we help you to vent, work out ways to make sense of what’s happening, gently guide you in making meaningful adjustments, and equip you with real strategies to restore your sense of direction, confidence, and resilience. We use a lot of approaches that include traditional approaches and creative solutions.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing

Our effective psychotherapy and counselling includes EMDR for people with trauma of any sort. Change the way that trauma impacts your life and feel supported to make adjustments, start to notice shifts in your perception and really feel better.

Gender Diversity

We provide a safe, inclusive and respectful space for diverse individuals and all couples across the full spectrum of gender and sexual identities.

Whether you're exploring, transitioning, affirming and honouring who you are, or how you are navigating life and relationships as individuals or as a couple, we will welcome and support you. Our respect and empowerment honour who and how you are and who you're becoming, We create space for safety, growth, exploration, belonging, self reflection and meaningful connection—even when the world feels unsafe.

Our LGBTIQA friendly Practice welcomes you individually or with a partner or spouse.

We have also been involved in presenting professionally in this area of our work.

The Mental Health credential is a highly valued acknowledgment of specialist social work skills and experience in Mental Health which is highly regarded by employers working in Mental Health.

The AASW also advocated for this accreditation to give social workers the ability to provide services under Medicare. As a result, mental health services and support provided by social workers is now more accessible to the community.

The process of assessing social workers for a mental health credential through the AASW is endorsed by the federal government. The credential enables the accredited social worker to apply to Medicare Australia to provide services if they choose.
