Counselling Services in Petersham & Online
Safe Spot is a counselling service supporting adolescents (ages 10 and up) and adults.
My Approach
My approach is client-lead, meaning that I aim to create a space that is warm, empathetic and non-judgmental. I am inclusive and neurodiversity affirming, and I use a variety of approaches depending on your needs, including solution-focused therapy, strengths-based therapy, psychoeducation, expressive arts and narrative therapy. I believe that therapy should be a shared journey, and I will work with you to ensure that the way we 'do' counselling works for you.
