About me

My practice
Hi! My name is Oliver Aguilar and since I can remember I've always wanted to make an impact on people and I quickly discovered by helping others I could make the biggest impact of all. My biggest achievements to date are hearing clients stories of realisations and experiences they have gained from coming to therapy. My satisfaction stems from peoples betterment and to me there is no better reward than to see others succeed through their unique trials and tribulations.
The way I work is interactive, collaborative, intuitive, and respectful. I work analytically with my clients through investigating how early childhood experiences have shaped current thinking and behaviours. We explore the links between unconscious and conscious thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and desires and how they impact one's life currently.
Work is explored in a meaningful way, allowing unspoken languages of your body to express deeply felt emotions and thought patterns. As your journey unfolds, together we work to find meanings, solutions to your concerns.
My approach to therapy is informed by three overarching principles:
• That there is a natural and innate force in us that wants to unfold organically towards greater degrees of wholeness and integration; driving us forward to fulfill our individual and unique potential.
• That therapy helps encourage this process by both reconnecting us to and removing whatever may be in the way to this organic unfolding.
• The ultimate goals of therapy are to help reconnect us to our own innate wisdom, to live from that place in the world, and to find a deep sense of compassion and understanding for ourselves and others.
A little more about my journey, I began a long career in the field of psychotherapy and counselling in 2013, during that time I got a BA (Double major in psychology and counselling), a Graduate Diploma in counselling and psychotherapy, and finally a Masters in counselling and psychotherapy. During my studies, I volunteered for a myriad and diverse not-for-profit organisations such as the City of Swan, Angelhands, Cancer Council, Cyrenian House and Injury Matters. I have had extensive experience in mostly trauma, grief/bereavement and AOD (Alcohol and Other Drugs) through these organisations. Although, my skill set is not limited to these specific areas.
As a registered PACFA member and a qualified Psychotherapist and Counsellor, I decided to pursue my private practice to diversify the individuals I would see and challenge myself further in running and operating a private practice here in Perth. I am still seeking to study further and extend my knowledge in this field as I am always interested in staying up to date with psychotherapeutic practices.
