Invictus Counselling Service

Information about the Invictus Counselling Service:

To continue to provide counselling support safely and responsibly within our community, sessions are now only available online via Zoom or over the telephone.

Individual counselling is available for adults and adolescents. Couples Counselling to resolve relationship conflicts and communication barriers is also available. Counselling can focus on a range of issues including relationships, adjusting to major changes in life, coming to terms with and processing past traumatic experiences, what you want in life and how to get there, parenting issues, coping with grief and loss, work or job related concerns, challenges with school, friends or struggling with parents at home, or simply just wanting the space to reflect upon where you are at in life, evaluate current goals and set additional desires for future achievement. Counselling is a place to reconnect with and strengthen yourself.

Days and Hours Available:

Counselling is currently available Monday and Wednesday between the hours of 9am and 5pm. Some weekend sessions are available upon request. Counselling sessions run for 60 minutes.

Fee Structure:

Counselling sessions are currently $100 per hour. This is a cash only service and fees are payable at the time of your session.

Your first counselling session – your intake session – is half price ($50).

Running Late For a Session?

In order to provide each person with the time of the session they have booked without delay, if you do run late for your session, you will only have what time is left of the session once you arrive.

Unable to Attend a Session?

Please let me know as soon as possible. I ask for at least 24 hours notice to cancel your session to avoid incurring the counselling fee. This is to avoid losing a session that could have been used by someone else who would like counselling.

Unlimited Sessions:

You are free to engage in counselling until you feel you have resolved an issue that has been challenging you, until you feel you have achieved what you have come for, or until you feel you have reached a place in your journey where you would like to pause and reflect.

Counselling Approach:

My approach to counselling is very much person or client centred. I find this orientation not only respectful to the person I am working with but empowering of the person they are. I understand counselling another person as a position of honour in which I am invited into a person’s life to share their most private thoughts. I view myself not as a person with all the answers, but as someone who can provide a client with the space they need to enhance their self awareness, gain in self acceptance and discover for themselves the answers they are seeking. Through the process of identifying and exploring the underlying meaning a person has developed of their experience, a person can be assisted on their journey of understanding, freedom from hidden expectations or assumptions, and adoption of more conscious life choices to ultimate self empowerment.

Based on a person centred approach combined with psychodynamic, gestalt and cognitive behavioural techniques I support a person to increase their self awareness by exploring the perception of their experiences which can contribute to self sabotaging patterns or blocks. This can lead to renewed understanding, acceptance and empowerment. Building identity and self esteem can empower a person to free themselves from challenging circumstances and choose a new path.

Training and Education:

Driven by my own past personal experiences I gained training in the psychology and counselling field to support others to overcome various life challenges to strengthen their sense of identity and resilience, and to return to their chosen life path.

I began my training at Murdoch University in 2000, completing a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with Honours. Later I completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling followed by Masters in Counselling at Murdoch and graduated in 2011. I have an interest in trauma counselling and have completed additional training in working with adult survivors of sexual abuse and working with families and victims of domestic violence. I continue my training by engaging in various professional development counselling workshops and courses throughout the year. I have worked in a variety of organisations and clinics across Perth since 2008, and continue to work as a contract counsellor for some of these.

I look forward to travelling on this journey with you.
