In Person Counselling in Northcote, VIC

Our intimate relationships and the bonds we build with each other are an integral part of our physical and psychological wellbeing. Kyra offers an inclusive therapeutic service to both individuals and couples, looking to strengthen their relationships.

This isn't the life you envisioned. You aren't the person you hoped to become. Your choices and decisions seem to prevent any relief from the constant, nagging anxiety that disrupts your sleep and impacts your health. The lingering effects of a difficult upbringing may still be causing harm to your present relationships and your sense of self. Whatever the root cause of your suffering, it is always much harder to overcome alone. I'm here to support you in that struggle as we work together to understand and address your unhappiness in a safe, constructive space.
