What We Do

At Mindful Living we provide counselling and psychology services to adults, children, adolescents, couples and families who are experiencing a variety of issues and concerns. In addition to helping you process traumatic events, we can help you learn practical skills to better handle thoughts and feelings, live mindfully and purposefully in the present and experience greater vitality and hope for the future.

Practical, skill-based therapy

Our approach to counselling goes beyond simply talking about issues and is practical and experiential. Right from the first session, you will learn helpful tools such as mindfulness that will empower you to live more purposefully and feel confident to handle challenges.

Sustainable, lasting change

We are committed to helping you go further than just ‘managing’ your symptoms, to resolving your core underlying issues. We utilise EMDR Therapy, an evidence-based model of therapy that changes the way the brain processes information and experiences, leading to profound and lasting change.

An individualised approach

Our therapy sessions produce effective, lasting results because we deviate from a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. We are skilled in a number of therapeutic models and tailor our approach to meet your specific needs, not the other way around. We encourage your feedback to ensure that you feel respected, empowered and benefit from your counselling experience.

Expertise in working with trauma and PTSD

Many counsellors assert that they can work with trauma but may not have specific training or skills in this area. In contrast, our therapists have worked in specialised sexual assault and family violence counselling services, providing counselling to survivors of complex trauma. We engage in ongoing specialist trauma training and know how to treat trauma safety and effectively without requiring you to re-live past traumatic events. This reduces the risk of you being re-traumatised by your therapy experience.
