I am a counsellor and psychoanalytic psychotherapist working with individuals and couples in private practice in Carlton, Melbourne. It can be difficult to understand a problem or mental health concern in your life without knowing exactly what it is, why it is happening or what function it plays in your mental and emotional life.
I use both person-centered and the psychoanalytic approach in working with individuals and couples and I am able to assist people facing a variety of personal difficulties in their lives, marriage and relationship conflicts and mental health concerns.

Like people themselves, these reasons are as unique and highly specific to the individuals' personal history, their cultural, historical and familial upbringing, their journey through their lives and the people they meet along the way.
Some people seek counselling and psychotherapy because they may feel trapped in repeating painful and self-defeating patterns in their lives that stop them from feeling satisfied and connected with people in a personally fulfilling way.Others come to work through difficulties they face in their intimate and/or personal relationships or encounter complications in their sexual life.

Psychological problems can affect people from all walks of life and it is well known that depression and anxiety now effects more and more people in society than it has ever before. The effects of some of the mental health issues stated below can make one feel isolated, alone and with seemingly no way out and this need not have to be the case.
Relationship counselling is a form of counselling that can help the two individuals who are in relationship to help explore, work through and manage their individual and relational concerns and difficulties in a non-judgmental and trusting environment. Different to individual counselling and psychotherapy, relationship counselling can often be a more dynamic and active process for both the therapist and the individuals involved.
Psychoanalysis is a method for the investigation of the Unconscious and a specialized technique and approach to the treatment of human suffering of all kinds, which includes the many forms of psychopathology that are described in our common psychiatric and popular language today and other forms of suffering that simply cannot be labeled and placed under a simple, observable description of behaviour.
With new clients and couples that I work with, I like to set aside additional time if possible in the beginnings of our work together, so that we can explore the issues and get a feel for the work we can do together and appointments may go longer than 55 minutes in duration.
As most people would, I was scared and apprehensive about taking the first steps to counselling, but soon was in a trusting frame of mind and Paul and I developed a great professional and friendly relationship.After going through the counselling process with Paul, the changes in my life and relationships have been remarkable.
