Your Journey To
A Better You

Starts here !

"Change starts with being truly heard and understood. In a safe and supportive space, we can work together to navigate your challenges and foster real, lasting growth."

My Story

My name is Maryanne and I am a highly regarded and accomplished counsellor and I am passionate about supporting the growth and personal development of my clients. I hold a valid membership with the Australian Counselling Association and am driven by seeing clients overcome the challenges they face, finding happiness, and creating a better and more peaceful future.

​

I am respectful of my clients, their views, and understand that everyone is unique, as is their situation. My approach to counselling is based on building trust as I believe that truly knowing my clients leads to successful outcomes. I work with my clients to help them find their strengths, recognise their true qualities, triggers, resources and supports. With a person-centred approach, I empower and encourage my clients to explore what they want, where they are in their life, and where they want to be. I help them identify their goals, develop strategies and solutions and is there to provide support, guidance, reassurance, and positivity.

Personalised Sessions

​All clients are diverse and so sessions are tailored to each person and their individual needs and desired outcomes. I use a mix of evidence-based modalities during sessions, including cognitive behavioural therapy, solution focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness exercises, trauma informed techniques, somatic-based interventions, and expressive therapies.

 

Using these techniques, I empower my clients understand and make sense of their situation so that they may free themselves from the weight they may have been carrying around, achieve personal growth and identify a way forward for a happier future.
