About
Jessica Andrews
Kindred Counselling: Individuals and Couples
Offering in person and online counselling sessions for individuals and couples in a safe and supportive space for a range of different issues. These include relationship difficulties, separation and divorce, anxiety, depression, coping with parenting, burnout, as well as grief and loss among others.
My approach is warm, gentle and down to earth (with a dash of good humour), and whilst I like to find a positive angle, I also understand deeply the suffering different life experiences can bring us from time to time. Primarily I work from a person centred and relational approach, creating an authentic connection and providing a space in which you feel heard and seen.
About
Justine Devonport
Clear Mind Counselling
I support people over 16 to navigate the challenges of life. Counselling provides you with the space to discuss your problems and have the opportunity to view them from a different perspective.
I work with a solution focused approach and I will take the time to explore solutions and coping strategies with you. Sessions available face to face, online, telephone or walk and talk. A mental health plan is not required.
Call for a chat to discuss if we can work together.
About
Shubha Gokhale
Psychotherapy and counselling for adults, children and young people
&
Psychoanalysis
I have been counselling for over 15 years and I am interested in working with you so you can find new possibilities of responding to the challenges of your life. You can come to speak about whatever troubles you – relationship difficulties, feeling anxious or depressed, loneliness, traumatic experiences, difficulties at home, at school or in friendships.
My work with children and adolescents includes some supportive work with parents. I am experienced in working with adults who have had traumatic experiences. I am also experienced in working with people of varied cultural backgrounds.
I work mainly in a psychoanalytic way, which means working without pre-conceived ideas of how you are or should be. If you have other questions about this, we can talk about them.
I have worked as a psychotherapist for over 15 years and am a Level 4 member of the Australian Counselling Association and a member of the Freudian School of Melbourne.
I offer face to face appointments for children, adolescents and adults in my practice in Geelong. Where face to face meetings are not possible, I offer telehealth counselling only to adults via Skype and telephone.
Languages spoken: English, Hindi, Marathi
Call me if you would like to discuss the possibility of counselling or psychoanalysis. This initial free phone discussion is confidential. You do not need a GP referral to see me.
Fees: $140 per session. Payment is by cash or EFT. I do not offer Medicare rebates.
If you are experiencing financial stress, I will attempt to work out a suitable fee with you.
