Counselling & Courses
At Mind Shaper, we offer a range of counselling, coaching and courses tailored to meet your unique needs. Throughout my practice, I have developed special interest and expertise in the following areas:
Spiritual Counselling
I assist individuals who have experienced abuse within any religious institution, whether by a church, pastor, elder, or youth leader. My goal is to guide you towards reconciliation with your faith, self-forgiveness, and healing within your faith journey. We work together to address the emotional and psychological impact of religious trauma, helping you to find peace and reclaim your spiritual well-being.
Support for Victims of Scams or Deception
If you have been a victim of a scam or deception, I am here to support you. We explore the broken trust and the learning that can assist in moving forward and leaving a negative emotional experience in the past. My aim is to help you rebuild your confidence and trust, enabling you to move forward with a renewed sense of security.
Media Industry Expert
Having spent most of my career in the media and aligned with TV, radio and film production I understand the extremely demanding nature of these industries. I help people who’ve suffered and had their boundaries crossed re-establish normal behaviour expectations and detoxify from unhealthy patterns and relationships.
Life Purpose Coaching
If you feel adrift and uncertain about your life’s direction, I offer guidance and support to help you navigate towards the life you truly desire. Life Direction Coaching focuses on identifying your goals, overcoming obstacles, and developing a clear plan to achieve personal and professional fulfillment.
Grief Coaching
I provide support to individuals coping with various forms of loss, whether it be the loss of a job, a career, or a loved one. My aim is to help you reconstruct your perspectives, fostering peace and rediscovering purpose in your life. Together, we work through the grieving process, helping you to find meaning and move forward with resilience.
Pre-Marriage Coaching
Preparing couples for marriage is a vital part of my practice. I highlight what’s most important to you now, how to fight fair, and examine strategies on how to win more together in your marriage than you lose. Pre-marriage coaching helps couples build a strong foundation for their relationship, ensuring a healthy and happy future together.
Therapy Approaches
At Mind Shaper, we employ a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. Our methods include:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Focusing on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to manage and overcome psychological issues. - Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT)
Building solutions and focusing on positive outcomes rather than dwelling on problems. - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Combining cognitive and behavioral strategies with mindfulness to develop psychological flexibility.
How do I go about making an appointment?
Call 1300 73 44 99 and we can schedule an appointment at a time that suits you best. You can also leave a voice message or send an email, and you will be contacted shortly.
How long is each session?
Usually around 1 hour, but sessions can be shorter or longer if requested.
How often will I need to come?
It depends on what you’re looking to achieve. More often than not, between 3-6 sessions will see improvements.
What is the difference between a Psychologist and a Counsellor?
Often, Psychologists work with clients in a clinical setting, dealing with more complex mental health conditions. If you have a formal mental health condition, you might be more suited to a Psychologist. Counselling and Coaching are often more readily available for appointments. You do not require a referral from a Doctor, and there is no limit to the amount of Counselling or Coaching you can receive without a referral. Often, it is more affordable, with the gap payment from a Psychologist being more than a Counselling or coaching session rate.
