Individual Counselling & Therapy

Do you want the support of a professional to help you make positive changes in your life?

I am a highly skilled therapist who provides counselling and psychotherapy to people experiencing a broad range of life issues. I am committed to supporting individuals in therapy to address areas of concern and to feel empowered to make positive life changes.

I work primarily from a person-centred approach, although have trained in a variety of modalities that I draw upon depending on the unique needs of each person I work with. Some of the other modalities I have trained in and utilise in my work include Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing.

I have a diverse range of clients from all walks of life. Clients often say that they appreciate my honest, open and down to earth nature. I am committed to providing a comfortable and supportive environment free of judgement.

I believe that as the client, you are the expert of your life and experience. I see my role as that of a navigator or facilitator, accompanying you on a journey to help you to achieve a better understanding of yourself. Through this process of exploration, we can work towards identifying and implementing strategies for changing patterns of behaviour that may not be serving you well. The therapeutic process also provides an opportunity for us to reflect on your strengths and personal qualities to assist you in achieving your goals.

I offer short, medium and long-term support to people presenting for a variety of reasons. If you relate to any of the following issues, counselling or psychotherapy can be beneficial in helping you to work through these:

Are you experiencing issues with anxiety or depression and want to improve your mental health and wellbeing?
Do you feel lonely or socially isolated?
Do you have issues with low self-esteem and want to feel more confident and assertive?
Are you having relationship issues with your partner, family or friends?
Do you want to improve your communication skills?
Are you experiencing challenges in the workplace?
Do you want to explore your identity or sense of self?
Are you feeling stressed or overwhelmed?
Have you noticed that you keep falling into the same patterns of behaviour and want to break free of these?
Are you having parenting issues?
Do you want an intimate relationship but find it difficult to achieve this?
Are you going through a life transition?
Are you experiencing feelings of grief and loss?
Do you have body image concerns?
Do you need support from someone other than your loved ones?

These are just some of the issues that I can assist you with. If you would like to discuss any of these concerns, or other issues that have not been captured above, please contact me to make an appointment on 0409 137 920 or email me at chantal@cbcp.com.au.
