About me

My practice
I'm Veronica, a Clinical Counsellor dedicated to helping you navigate life's ordinary and extraordinary challenges. Whilst we can't make life flawless, together we can work towards healing from past experiences and better managing tough times.

My priority is to develop a safe, trusting relationship to support your exploration of life's complexities. To enable this, I provide a safe, trauma-informed, non-judgmental, person-centred therapeutic space.

I combine various talk therapy approaches with Somatic Experiencing® (SE) techniques. SE taps into the body’s natural ability to resolve traumatic stress, supports nervous system health and regulation.

I have found it’s impact to be profound.

My experience is working with clients dealing with:

• Significant life changes
• Grief or loss
• Overwhelm
• Anxiety or depression
• Difficult relationships
• Persistent health challenges
• Unhelpful patterns of behaviour including addiction to drugs or alcohol
• Childhood, past or current trauma

I offer individual therapy, facilitate psychoeducation groups and grief and loss groups. I work from a beautiful room in McKell Park, Darling Point for in person sessions, or we can meet online.

I offer a safe, trauma informed, non-judgemental space to support your exploration of the complexities of being human, and to support your healing from the challenges you have and are experiencing.

Alongside my private practice, I work with men transitioning out of homelessness at Mission Australia Centre. I see clients individually and run group programs. My groups introduce skills to help navigate the discomforts we inevitably face and nurture peer support.

I am a member of the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia with a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling, and an intermediate level student in SE™ Professional Training and integrate Somatic Experiencing® techniques” in my practice. I am trained in Emotionally Focussed Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Complex Trauma and Suicide Prevention and supporting people experiencing Domestic Violence [DV).
