Female Counselling in Braidwood, NSW

I offer general counselling with a specialisation in relationship and grief counselling for mainly adult individuals or couples. Partners might feel stuck in repetitive cycles of blame and withdrawal and feel angry, resentful, sad, guilty, shameful, or lonely; or they feel numb. Together we will work towards clarity and new ways of being with each other. - Grief can come in many forms and everyone's grief journey is individual. I offer a confidential, compassionate, and non-judgemental space for clients to make sense of their emotions and questions and identify ways of adjusting to their new reality of loss, death and/or dying.

My name is Donna, and I've always known my life purpose is to assist others. ​ This is evident from the various roles I've had in business, marketing and customer service, along with seventeen years working as a Secondary Education Teacher. During this time, I have had my eyes opened to the many mental, physical, social and emotional concerns the youth of today have and continue to experience. I have experience working across diverse cultures and with the LGBTQI+ community. My mission is to assist you on a deeper level to be empowered, find hope, and strengthen your belief in self to improve wellbeing.

Making contact with your feelings and thoughts brings new energy to face ongoing challenges, because your thoughts and feelings determine the quality of your moment by moment experience. Talking about your situation, sharing your problems, your achievements and disappointments, your relationships, your fears and desires with an empathic listener, provides enormous relief from carrying these burdens on your own. In our weekly conversations you will learn to understand yourself at a deeper level, so that you can transform problems and worries into new life giving possibilities.

Many people feel 'stuck' with behaviours, feelings, habits or situations that they find hard to change. This can limit the potential to flourish and live life fully. Everyone has their own strengths and coping skills, and the right counsellor will help you to notice your pre-existing strength and resilience, and work with you to find ways to tackle your challenges and live the life you really want to live.

My practice is focussed on listening to your thoughts, anxieties, wishes, dreams, deep sadnesses, regrets and interpersonal issues. Helping to understand and accept ourselves and find ways of moving forward and remaining connected to those we love even through conflict.

To dispel all myths of the ideal client, every client is a welcome client. People arrive at their first session with a mix of emotions and it is here that I like to engage with the person to ensure we are a good fit and that they feel safe and ready to take the next steps. Engagement with my clients fosters commitment to the therapy process to ensure the best therapeutic outcome for them.
