I want you to finish every session feeling excited, stimulated and hopeful. I aim to promote emotional and intellectual insights and clarity around who you are and what you are truly capable of. Together we will build resolve - the desire and confidence to make changes, take action, and live for yourself, no matter what your situation. I look forward to connecting with you in kindness and understanding, and guiding you to that place where you feel confident and at home.

Hi, I'm glad you're here! My name is Maggie Whitbread, otherwise known as the Awefull Therapist (not "awful"!)

If you're ready to step into your vulnerability in order to heal and change your life for the better, Awefull Therapy might be the right fit for you.

My name is Peita-Claire Fothergill. I have a Master of Counselling degree and am a registered member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA). My counselling philosophy is rooted in the belief that each individual possesses the inherent ability to grow, change, and overcome challenges. I adopt a client-centred approach, emphasising empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness in my interactions. This framework creates a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered.

I provide support to a diverse range of individuals who each face their own specific circumstances and challenges: Defence personnel and veterans who have dedicated their lives to serving the country, first responders who courageously confront emergencies on a daily basis, family members of defence and first responder personnel who often carry the emotional weight of their loved ones' experiences, executives and business owners managing the pressures of leadership, and public servants dedicating their efforts to the community.

Many people feel 'stuck' with behaviours, feelings, habits or situations that they find hard to change. This can limit the potential to flourish and live life fully. Everyone has their own strengths and coping skills, and the right counsellor will help you to notice your pre-existing strength and resilience, and work with you to find ways to tackle your challenges and live the life you really want to live.

Reaching out for help from a counsellor can be scary and it is a courageous and kind thing to do for yourself. Knowing which counsellor to choose can be equally hard. Here’s what you need to know about me to help you decide. For the last five years, I’ve worked with and helped both men and women improve their relationship with themselves, improve troublesome relationships with others and feel more connection with their children. I helped them to know who they really are, to uncover their authentic self by discovering what gets in the way of being who they want to be.

I strongly believe that every person has a purpose and set of skills/strengths they bring into this world; however, that sometimes inconvenient/negative circumstances or unhealthy relationships can derail this potential by planting a seed of self-doubt into our minds. Regardless of where it applies to an individual's life (e.g. marriage, career, etc.), it would be my privilege to help clients along the way to achieving their life goals/vision by helping them identify and deal with any stumbling blocks in their way. Life loves to throw curveballs (it wouldn't be interesting if it didn't), but I'd love to prepare my clients for them!

I offer general counselling with a specialisation in relationship and grief counselling for mainly adult individuals or couples. Partners might feel stuck in repetitive cycles of blame and withdrawal and feel angry, resentful, sad, guilty, shameful, or lonely; or they feel numb. Together we will work towards clarity and new ways of being with each other. - Grief can come in many forms and everyone's grief journey is individual. I offer a confidential, compassionate, and non-judgemental space for clients to make sense of their emotions and questions and identify ways of adjusting to their new reality of loss, death and/or dying.

We humans possess significant resilience, yet we are also quite vulnerable. There are numerous factors around us that can affect our wellbeing and can cause anxiety, sadness, hurt, guilt, anger, loneliness, sense of unfulfillment, etc. Sometimes painful memories from the past don’t allow us to create new memories. Our own thoughts and beliefs work against us at times. Behaviours that were once soothing and comfortable, over time, become destructive. Coping with loss can be extremely challenging. Argument and unresolved conflicts can damage our intimate relationships. Family members not getting along can result in lot of distress.

Are you alone in your pain? Don't feel good on the inside? Can't trust? Not sure who to talk to about all the hurt you're holding onto? Maybe all you really want is to feel close to someone. Someone who will be gentle with you and work slowly with you. Someone who wants to understand you just the way you are. No-one wants to feel separate. We all crave close human connection. To belong. To know we matter.
