Preteen Counselling in Brunswick West, VIC
When we become disconnected from ourselves and the people in our lives, it can lead us to feel anxious, overwhelmed, and isolated. With many of our lasting emotions deriving from the people we relate to, it can be easy to lose oneself in patterns that perpetuate states of discomfort. However, when we invite curiosity to our experience, we can begin to find simple ways to reconnect to what truly matters. Through this process we access a new lens through which we can view ourselves and the relationships we keep, fostering greater awareness, increased resilience, and moments of joy.

Feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Putting your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Wondering if life should feel better and happier? Many people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how to manage their relationships, careers, and lives now more than ever. Ignoring your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe that living a better life shouldn't be so hard.
