My approach

Hi my name is Solange, I provide psychotherapy and counselling services to individuals and couples.

​

I am a Counsellor and Psychotherapist and I currently hold registration with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) and The Australian Counselling Association (ACA). My qualifications include:

Bachelor of Psychological Science

Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy 

Master of Counselling and Psychotherapy

Post Graduate Diploma in Psychology 

Graduate Diploma in Psychology

​

I undertake Professional Development regularly in order to remain up to date with the issues of the discipline, and to continue to develop an understanding of other therapeutic approaches and techniques.

​

Life experiences are at the core of what makes us human. Allowing ourselves to take the time to develop an understanding of our conscious and unconscious self can promote growth, and give meaning to these experiences. I will provide a confidential space where you can explore your concerns, your relationship with yourself and others, and the influence that your past experiences have on you today. I facilitate a non judgemental space where you can gain insight and awareness, and understand the underlying issues of your recurrent problems. I work with a person centred psychodynamic approach. 

​

I have had the privilege of working with individuals of a variety of ages and backgrounds. I worked with clients presenting with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, drug and alcohol use, grief and loss. My background includes a variety of roles within a range of health care environments, as well as in the higher education field. These experiences gave me the opportunity to work with individuals and groups in the community in Sydney and Perth. I am also interested in the arts and the relationship between mental health and artistic expression.

​

I strive to deliver a service based on a collaborative style, where clients are active participants and can exercise their autonomy whilst enhancing their understanding of themselves, their inner, and outer world.

​

Within yourself there is a habitable space, illuminate it to explore who you are, and make it yours.
