My name is Cassie, I am a Masters of Counselling educated ACA Counsellor at Level 2. I approach counselling with warmth, compassion, and an understanding of both individual and systemic factors that can contribute to human suffering, and how to manage these interpersonally and socially. In the therapy room I will walk down your story with you and help when and how you need and want. I can help you handle intense emotions and life stressors, help you handle large life transitions, help you uncover truths about yourself, and help you with your relationships with others and the world.
I specialise in integrative therapy, which uses aspects of different modalities to suit the needs of individual clients. I use a social justice, person-centred, and cognitive-behavioural lens most often as I have found these most useful. I will see anyone, but do specialise in LGBTQ+ clients.
I am here to help you, and will focus intently on your needs, your autonomy, and your goals, whether they be emotional, relational, existential, or otherwise. All you need to do is reach out and we can have a conversation.

My therapy style is highly integrative and eclectic, and will mostly be focused on the person in front of me. I utilise elements from a variety of therapy styles because therapies work differently for different people! I always conduct therapy through a person-centred perspective, but will use elements from cognitive, behavioural, mindfulness, strengths-based and more.
