I know it can feel overwhelming to begin, and I'm here to help every step of the way.

That nagging, persistent feeling that something isn't right in your life. The feeling of distance, of seeing the person or people that you used to feel close to and now just feel worried about instead. On the surface it might look to others like everything is fine but your heart is feeling heavy and you have been worrying about this for a while. You are feeling exhausted with trying to fix the problem. Maybe you are carrying something that you don't know how to put into words. 

It might be that things between you and your partner have been feeling increasingly harder than it should to feel close, or you're tired of the same arguments and patterns. 

It might be that you are watching your gorgeous child struggle, or pull away from you, and it hurts. 

It might be that as an adult you are finding that balancing closeness with your family and having your own space to breathe feels impossible without someone being hurt. 

It might be that you know that something needs to change, and want to explore whether that something is a job, a relationship, a habit, or a pattern. You feel tired, anxious, and flat, and need someone to help you untangle what feels like a mess. 

At Common Ground Counselling, I believe in fostering genuine connections to understand each person's unique experiences. I provide a safe environment where each person, couple or family can explore their challenges and strengths.

I provide therapy for individuals (including children, teens/young people and adults), couples, and families that emphasises authenticity, plain language, connection, and growth. Therapies include specialised options like adolescent therapy, child therapy, adult counselling, couples therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and family counselling.

I am able to provide a medicare rebate to those with mental health care plans completed by their General Practitioner.
