MY COUNSELLING APPROACH

  • A solid green irregular-shaped blob on a white background.

    PERSON-CENTRED

    My approach places your lived experience at the centre of our work, recognising you as the expert in your own inner world. I trust in your inherent capacity to grow and transform when emotions are met with curiosity, care, and respect, much like clay gradually taking shape through gentle, attuned guidance.

  • Abstract irregular green shape on a white background.

    Non-clinical & Emotion-Centred

    I work from a non-pathologising perspective that understands emotional distress as a meaningful response to life experiences instead of focusing on labels or diagnoses. Together, we gently explore the emotional patterns beneath distress.

    Emotionally Safe & Relational

    A strong, genuine therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work. Healing happens through patience, emotional safety, and being met with warmth and authenticity, allowing emotions to be felt, understood, and gradually transformed at your own pace.

FAQs

  • Counselling is a safe and confidential process where a qualified counsellor collaborates with a client to improve mental health, self-understanding, and address specific concerns. It can be preventative, focusing on personal growth or early symptom management, or reactive, addressing distress before it becomes more serious.

  • Counselling may be right for you if you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling with emotions, or facing challenges that are difficult to manage on your own. It can also help if you want to gain a deeper level of self-understanding, learn and implement coping strategies, or work through life transitions, relationships, or mental health issues.

  • In your first session with Bec (after your free 15-minute consultation), she will want to learn more about what brings you to counselling, your background, your relationships, and what matters most to you. The initial sessions focus on building a trusting therapeutic relationship.

  • Typically, Bec would recommend weekly or fortnightly sessions, particularly in the beginning. As you make progress, it is likely that sessions could be spaced further apart. The number of sessions you may need will vary depending on factors such as what brings you to counselling and your goals.

  • Counselling may feel foreign or even uncomfortable during the initial stages while you are getting a feel for Bec and her therapeutic style, and building trust can take time. The therapeutic relationship is the most significant contributor to your progress within counselling. Bec cares about you and your progress, and if you feel she is not the right fit for you, she may be able to provide recommendations of an alternative counsellor who could meet your needs. Finding the right counsellor is a very personal process, and Bec understands that she is unlikely to be the perfect fit for everyone. There’s no hard feelings!

  • Yes, counselling is confidential. Counsellors registered with The Australian Counselling Association are bound by ethical and legal standards to protect your privacy. The information you share with Bec is private and cannot be shared without your consent, except where there are legal obligations or safety concerns (risk of harm to yourself or others). Confidentially will be covered in more detail during the first session, and we will seek your informed consent after we have explained the process in more detail.
