INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING

FOR CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS & ADULTS

I provide a safe and supportive space to explore your current concerns or challenges, where you will feel heard and seen, and supported to achieve long-lasting growth and change.

Seeing a therapist can be challenging and anxiety-provoking. At Syzygy Wellbeing, you set the pace, and we are directed by what you wish to focus on.

I utilise evidence-based, trauma-informed, strengths-based, psychodynamic approaches in my services, including:

  • EMDR therapy
  • Attachment theory
  • Polyvagal theory
  • Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Play therapy
  • Mindfulness

Therapy with a social worker is very similar to therapy with a psychologist. Social workers utilise the same modalities, but also have a strong social justice and structural lens in our training.

Sessions with families are important when working with children to ensure the work can be understood and supported by family members, and generalised into other environments.

I recognise that children and young people are part of many different systems, including schools, families, and extra-curricular interest areas, so I also provide limited case management to ensure a wholistic approach to wellbeing.
