Have you ever noticed that you seem to have some significant negative landmarks from childhood that: 1. Make you feel like you’re permanently damaged, or 2. Mean you are easily triggered into fight, flight or freeze mode in some way, or 3. Make you feel like you can’t cope as well as other people, or 4. Make it hard for you to be able to control your emotions, or 5. Make it hard for you to trust others, or 6. Somehow get in the way of being able to get or maintain healthy friendships or romantic relationships? If this sounds like you, you might have some unresolved trauma or overwhelming experiences that need processing to resolve.

I am a highly-experienced relationship counsellor having worked with couples for more than 20 years. Effective results from relationship counselling happen when the therapist is able to quickly get a handle of the difficulties in a way that is impartial, skilled, informative and supportive. Only then are both partners in the best position to find long-lasting and loving ways forward together.

Are you feeling anxious, stressed, confused, emotionally overwhelmed? Does life seem overwhelming, unfair, sad, unfulfilling, directionless, hopeless? Is your relationship in distress or not as fulfilling as you’d like? You’re not alone. I endeavour to understand what is important for you, which means that I don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach. Using empathy and non-judgement, I listen to understand what life is like for you and to ‘get’ you - what you are thinking and feeling, how the events of life have impacted you, and what you want and need. I create a safe space to be open and real about what you are experiencing.

Do you feel angry and don't know why? Have you lost your self-confidence? Does going to a busy public place give you feelings of anxiety, where the stress just grips you? Have you recently been struggling in your relationship with your partner and feel like you are not being heard? Are you struggling to get out of bed in the morning after enduring a night of negative thoughts that will not go away? If you are currently going through any of the above, then it may help you to know that around 3.2 million Australians between the ages of 16 & 85 have experienced anxiety, depression or another psychological issue in the last 12 months.

Hi, I'm Louise, counsellor, mum of 2 kids and 2 cats, and ADHDer. If you feel overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, angry, exhausted with all the things you’re juggling at work and at home - You are not alone! Many of my clients feel the pressure, stress, anxiety and anger of doing so much. (And of course so do I. As an ADHDer, I get it.) What if I could help with tools and strategies to dial down overwhelm, and reduce stress, anxiety and anger? I would love to help you to make changes and live a life that’s calmer, more positive and rewarding; moving forward with a focus on what’s important to you and how you want to live your best life.

Beyond this, I also have interest and experience with a range of mental health presentations, and work within an evidence-based framework.

Highly skilled at rapport building, Mary Ann guarantees a holistic, non-judgemental, confidential, caring and empathic service. Each client is an individual with unique choices that are respected. Clients are never labelled and the problem is separated from the client. This approach assists both client and therapist to view the problem as external to the client. The client is not the problem and therefore becomes liberated from it, so that the problem can be looked at, unpacked and successfully tackled from the outside. In this way, clients are supported to discover positive solutions, creating their chosen future and wellbeing.

I have had a lot of experience with working with people and I very much appreciate the need to have someone listen, and I mean truly listen. Our world is often fast and furious, our lives more often than not quite chaotic, and it can be difficult to cope with the many hurdles that are thrown at us, and to find someone who actually offers their help unconditionally. My role as your Counsellor is to walk by your side, to respect the privilege that it is to share your story with you, and to perhaps work with you to help find the way forward. Sometimes it is just an ear that makes the difference.
