Counselling
If you’re looking to improve your quality of life, regain a sense of control, or reconnect with your body, counselling is for you. Tori will create an environment that is supportive, safe, and focused on building trust.
Counselling is directed by you and occurs at your pace. You will receive a personalised treatment plan, using a range of evidence-based strategies.
Tori is knowledgeable, well-qualified, and friendly, and can help you through challenges such as sexual abuse, domestic violence, other forms of trauma, Anxiety and Depression, and a wide range of mental health issues.
It’s important to find a supportive, understanding and non-judgmental professional to help you through life’s challenges.

When working with children, it is important that their supportive adults are included in the process. To ensure your child is best supported, we will include parent participation.
