Few sail through life without encountering obstacles of one sort or another. For the most part we adjust to challenges or emotional upset using our own internal healing systems. Occasionally though, we just can't find a way through the pain and can't understand what went wrong. At these times it is really helpful to talk with someone who is trained to notice the emotions behind your words, and it is by noticing these emotions solutions to your troubles can be found.

My method is practical, supportive and straightforward. I help you remove your self-sabotage, improve habits, hold you to account and help you learn psychological skills such as Emotional Intelligence. I blend personal and workplace issues by integrating coaching and therapy techniques. In 2018 my first book was published named 'Closer.' This features my own framework for improving relationships, both at work and home. I have been a Psychologist for over twenty five years, and have extensive experience providing training in leadership, teamwork and emotional intelligence. I am regularly invited as a speaker and trainer.

The thing about ADHD is that it's more than just difficulty focusing. It makes it difficult to feel present with those you love, can leave you feeling misunderstood, and doubting whether you are even good enough. Anxiety does the same. It makes you so tunnel-visioned that you lose sight of what really matters; the kind of person you want to be and the kind of life you want to live.

She specialises in providing services to culturally and linguistically diverse clients, LGBTQI clients, and clients who identify as religious and/or spiritual.

The counselling services enable clients to gain insight into their thoughts, feelings and behaviours via approaches which include talking, reflecting, and mindfulness. I build a collaborative working relationship with clients, sensitively tailoring the support to meet specific needs. Creating a ‘therapeutic alliance’ is where clients feel safe and supported to explore difficult situations, and understand emotions, reactions and responses. The therapeutic alliance provides opportunities to talk through, find resolution and work towards making the desired changes to improve wellbeing while facilitating personal growth and development.

ARE YOU EXPERIENCING... Emotional pain? Relationship conflict? Lack of meaning? If you are like most people, you probably struggle at times because you have never received any formal training about how to care for your emotional wellbeing. Dr Gerschman's approach goes beyond talk therapy by providing a structured, skills-based program for treating current symptoms and promoting enduring resilience. Imagine having the knowledge and confidence to manage difficult thoughts and feelings, navigate tricky relationships, and find lasting meaning and fulfilment!

Many of us feel anxious about the future and regret aspects of our past. We can also spend a lot of energy trying to control things that are not actually within our control. At the same time we can feel that things that we have no power over states of mind such as panic attacks or phobias. We can feel anxious about feeling anxious! We want to live the best life we can but we're just not sure how to do that. Chronic anxiety, shame and anger are barriers to finding solutions for the best way forward, for being the best versions of ourselves. Learn more www.drdebbennett.com.au
