Connect with GO‑TO Counsellor Rohan Watson — Professional Counselling for Individuals, Couples & Families

Counselling can be beneficial if you are experiencing or grappling with emotional and psychological challenges, facing relationship pressures and difficulties, or when simply yearning for positive transformation in your life. Our counsellors offer you an accepting, safe, and judgement-free space in which to explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, gaining insight, support, and effective coping strategies.

Research-informed approach —

The services we offer are evidence-based, scientifically proven research approaches and techniques providing confidence in their effectiveness. The principles, skills, and strategies you may learn have been validated to work when applied.

Highly trained and accredited professionals —

Our counsellors are highly trained and qualified with most holding post-graduate specialisations and are accredited members of a key professional association such as the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) or the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA). They are held to high ethical standards and fulfill ongoing professional development and supervision to apply best practice and contemporary approaches to therapeutic service delivery.

Friendly, Caring, Solutions-Oriented —

It is of genuine importance to us that all clients can engage with our friendly counsellors within a caring environment. Our therapists are empathetic, supportive, and passionate in pursuing and achieving real solutions for each client no matter how challenging the circumstances.

Clients seek our help for all kinds of reasons, and any support provided is tailored to an individual’s need. You’ll be afforded a private setting in which you can confidentially share concerns and freely discuss feelings, thoughts, and actions.

At the initial stage, your counsellor would listen and seek to gain an understanding of what has brought things to this particular point, and then explore with you the priorities that you may want to resolve, improve, or change for the better in your life.

It is a collaborative process. Once there is clarity around the need and priorities, your counsellor will then be able to provide specific support through the introduction of insights, skills and strategies that best match your circumstances and outcome aspirations. Your counsellor is like a compass, helping you to move your life forward in a direction that you believe is right for you.

Although there are some similarities or overlap, these methods differ mostly in their emphasis. Counselling tends to be shorter-term in focus and more geared towards solutions for helping resolve general personal and everyday problems.

On the other hand, psychotherapy tends to have a more extended focus, delving deeper into the root causes of more serious challenges, and developing and implementing strategies to achieve significant growth and transformation.

Coaching is a goal-oriented process that emphasises personal development, skill enhancement, and achieving specific objectives through a structured, forward-looking approach. It is distinct from counselling and psychotherapy which lean more towards emotional wellbeing and problem resolution.

A standard session runs for approximately 50 minutes.

Our fees and booking policies can be found under the ‘bookings’ tab in the menu at the top of our website Homepage.

A referral is not required to see our registered counsellors.

Timing is a crucial factor. Getting support at the earliest opportunity is recommended to avoid the risk of a situation escalating or to prevent any deterioration of health and wellbeing. Talking to a counsellor means you have someone that you can openly and confidentially share your struggles with, as well as having the comfort of knowing that you are not alone. If you are feeling overwhelmed, facing emotional challenges, or just needing guidance in navigating life’s difficulties, then reach out for counselling regardless of whether the issues are recent or longstanding.
