Compassionate Counselling in Narrabeen – Professional Mental Health Support
Providing counselling services in Narrabeen, I create a supportive and professional space where you can address personal challenges, build effective coping strategies, and enhance your emotional well-being. My practice offers psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families, helping with issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties.
Drawing on more than 30 years of clinical experience, I combine expertise in psychotherapy and nursing to provide comprehensive mental health care. I offer both face-to-face and online sessions to ensure my services remain flexible and accessible for all clients.
Confidential and Professional Counselling Services in Narrabeen
Mental health challenges can impact relationships, work and daily life. Seeking professional support can help you manage distress, understand emotional patterns and build resilience.
Individual Counselling
Navigating personal difficulties can feel overwhelming, especially when emotions seem difficult to manage. I provide a safe and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts, understand behavioural patterns and develop practical strategies to improve mental health. Whether you are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression or past trauma, individual counselling offers the guidance and support needed to move forward.
Couples Counselling
Relationships can face obstacles that create emotional distance and miscommunication. Couples counselling provides a structured space to resolve conflicts, improve understanding and strengthen connections. If you and your partner are experiencing ongoing disagreements, trust issues or difficulties communicating, therapy can support rebuilding a healthier and more fulfilling relationship.
Trauma & PTSD Therapy
Unresolved trauma can have lasting effects on emotional and psychological well-being. I use evidence-based therapies such as EMDR and somatic experiencing to help process past experiences, reduce PTSD symptoms and restore emotional balance. Therapy provides a secure environment to explore these challenges and work towards healing.
Anxiety & Depression Counselling
Persistent worry, low mood or emotional exhaustion can interfere with daily life. Through counselling, you can identify triggers, understand underlying causes and develop practical coping mechanisms to manage anxiety and depression effectively. Therapy aims to restore a sense of control, confidence and overall well-being.
Online Therapy – Convenient and Secure Support
If attending in-person sessions is not practical due to location, time constraints or personal preference, online counselling offers a flexible alternative. Using secure video conferencing, I provide the same level of professional support, allowing you to access therapy from the comfort of your home or any private setting.
A Structured Approach to Therapy Counselling
Therapy involves a transparent and supportive process to ensure meaningful progress and long-term change.
1. Establishing Trust and Safety
A strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation of effective counselling. I provide a non-judgemental and confidential space where you can express your thoughts and emotions freely.
2. Learning to Manage Emotions
Intense emotions can feel overwhelming and complicated to regulate. Therapy includes techniques to calm the nervous system, manage stress and improve emotional resilience.
3. Strengthening Relationships
Understanding how past experiences shape interactions can help improve communication, establish boundaries and create stronger, healthier relationships.
4. Developing Self-Awareness
Recognising emotional triggers and thought patterns allows for greater control over reactions and behaviours, leading to positive changes in daily life.
5. Improving Mood and Mental Clarity
As therapy progresses, many clients experience increased confidence, improved emotional balance and a greater sense of purpose.
6. Applying Strategies to Everyday Life
Sustained progress occurs when therapeutic insights are applied to real-world situations. Therapy provides the skills and strategies needed to manage challenges independently.
