About me

My practice
Welcome to my Home-Based Counselling Service. Hi, I’m Boh, short for Bohdanka, which originates from my birthplace the Czech Republic.
After many years growing up in the Czech Republic my family immigrated to Perth where I now live and have raised my own beautiful family.
My career choice resonates deeply with how I approach life and I am committed to ongoing personal growth, which led me to choosing the University of Notre Dame Counselling Degree as a foundation for gaining my professional qualifications. I am also a clinical level PACFA registered counsellor.
As a counsellor it has always been a passion of mine to support people in the process of understanding themselves better and developing clearer and directional pathways so they can operate from a place of clarity, empowerment and joy.
I have always been a believer of ‘removing obstacles to enable growth’ and I see counselling as wonderful mechanism to facilitate this, helping people work through their personal challenges with anxiety, depression, addiction, separation, domestic violence, grief and loss, workplace incidents, trauma and many other life challenges.
After 15 years of working for organisations I recognised that by setting up my own home practice where I created a non-judgemental, caring and safe place I could focus on the fundamental aspects of therapy and what is most important - my clients well-being.
I believe that for positive changes to occur in therapy, not only are qualifications and clinical experience necessary but equally so is a therapists’ genuine care about the person or persons they are working with.

Testimonial: ‘A kind, understanding approach to therapy’
I have had the privilege of managing and maintaining my Mental Health with Bohdanka since I was a young teenager. She has guided me not only through a difficult past but through some of the most challenging years of my life, with genuine care, empathy and patience. . Her insights and guidance have given me tools to overcome and deal with things that I didn’t think I could ever beat. Her support has allowed me to build a sense of peace and understanding of myself, allowing me to create my own healthy relationships and gain a sense of optimism for the future. I could not recommend Bohdanka more.
