In Person Counselling in Fitzroy, VIC

Hello and welcome my name is David, and I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and Psychotherapist. I often work with people who are struggling with long-term and ongoing interpersonal patterns, routed in childhood that leave them feeling unhappy, dissatisfied and unable to move forward.  I generally work with people on a longer-term basis, taking time to develop a therapeutic relationship and getting to know them beyond their presenting problems.

I am a psychologist with extensive experience across a range of corporate and educational settings. I provide a safe and supportive environment in which to explore and resolve challenging personal and relationship issues. I have a passion for working with couples, people looking to overcome trauma, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, anger and grief. I want to help you achieve a better understanding of why you feel the way you do, why you think in a particular way, and to challenge and shift behaviour patterns which are holding you back from experiencing a more connected, fulfilled and meaningful life.

Being human can be hard! From daily stressors to big events, life can feel overwhelming and difficult. You may feel alone in your struggles. It's important to have a place where you can let your guard down, acknowledge what you're facing, and begin healing. I love providing clients with this type of support. I help clients get to know themselves more deeply. I enjoy working with clients to identify and overcome barriers, prepare and cope with life transitions, heal from trauma, tend and befriend feelings, cultivate self-acceptance and self-compassion, build healthy relationships, and foster meaning and purpose in their life.

I work with a diverse array of adult and adolescent clients, including high performers in the creative industries, sports and workplace leadership, as well as those experiencing challenges such as ADHD, anxiety, burnout, life transitions, panic attacks, and ASD.

Hi there, my name is Lauren (she/her). I am a genuine and compassionate counsellor that believes in your capacity for connection, growth and positive change. I support individuals to increase self-awareness and improve wellbeing by assisting them to identify their strengths and values, and build confidence and motivation to navigate psychological and systemic barriers. I work from a trauma-informed, person-centred, and social justice framework which means that I strive to honour, respect and affirm your unique identity and the way you move through the world.

I specialise in assisting people who have experienced trauma at any stage of life to heal from these experiences and their consequences, supporting them to grow and focus on what gives their life meaning now. I work with adults to address: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and complex trauma, recent traumatic events (eg. medical trauma, birth trauma), anxiety and phobias, and depression.

Your relationship with yourself is central to your well-being, often impacting how you relate to those around you. I understand the complexities of anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and everyday stressors that can affect these connections. In our sessions, I adapt to your unique strengths and circumstances to facilitate real progress. Whether you're dealing with specific issues or seeking general improvements, we can collaborate to foster resilience and enhance the quality of your relationships, starting with the most important one—you and yourself.

I am a registered psychologist who works with adolescents (16 and up) and adults. I pride myself on making all clients feel welcome and comfortable in the therapeutic space. I like to take the time to deeply understand each individual client in order to cater my therapeutic approach to the individual. I see the client as the expert in the room and tap into their knowledge of themselves and their presenting issues to collaboratively work through and understand the issue together. I endeavour to help clients develop long lasting strategies and insight into themselves to be able to use and apply outside of the therapeutic space.

I am a social worker and family therapist with over eight years post-qualifying experience, and over five years experience providing supervision and consultation to frontline practitioners and leaders in mental health, AoD, family violence and housing and homelessness sectors. I offer compassionate and non-judgemental services to people in Melbourne who have been impacted by the war on people who use drugs, the criminalisation of sex work, incarceration, and other forms of marginalisation.

A wish to get better, and a willingness to look inside oneself. These are the only essentials for success in therapy. I enjoy helping people with OCD and rumination to regain a sense of agency over their mind, people with depression to understand what is happening inside themselves that is causing their suffering and free themselves from it, people with PTSD to feel safe again and gain self-compassion and heal their nervous system, people with difficulty in relationships to understand what is happening and operate more smoothly, and helping people with many other difficulties to heal and move forward.

I am a PACFA-certified somatic psychotherapist and counsellor. I specialise in trauma-informed awareness practices that dissolve the root causes of your suffering to liberate the freedom, authenticity and wholeness that is rightfully yours. In session, I invite you to move beyond the stories you tell about yourself into an experiential, embodied understanding of your core wounds so that you can tend and heal them. My work is holistic, encompassing body, mind and spirit, helping you to resolve the deeper, unconscious patterns, programs and processes that are holding you back.

I enjoy helping people from all walks of life with various presentations including anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, anger, and PTSD. I utilise a range of therapeutic modalities including CBT, DBT, ACT, whilst incorporating aspects of humanistic and psychodynamic psychotherapy, which I tailor to the individual needs of his clients. I am passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges by developing an understanding of the connection between their experiences and their learned beliefs and behaviours.
