I specialise in trauma therapy, using an integrated approach combining EMDR, parts work (IFS) and polyvagal theory to support clients to heal trauma. Through an understanding of the nervous system, mind and body we can heal a range of symptoms and move towards a more connected life. Some of these symptoms may include anxiety, stress, hyper-vigilance, panic, nightmares, flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, depression, numbness, brain fog, fatigue and negative self beliefs. My work with clients focuses on finding their innate human ability to heal and grow, using this to resolve these symptoms and recover from trauma.

I am keen to help individuals work through their challenges,moving from living their lives as passive observers, to being active participants, in creating lives that serve their happiness. My therapeutic practice is encapsulated in the philosophy of " Your life, your way".

Hello my name is Greta, at times we all need a friendly face and someone to listen to our story. My aim is to walk with you to provide an authentic, honest and trusting space where life's experiences can be shared without judgement. I work from a biopsychosocial model which essentially means looking at the interconnection of our biology, our psychology and our social connections to help understand how we experience and respond to the challenges we may experience throughout our life. Whilst we are all unique and different, I describe myself as an eclectic therapist, in that I draw from a range of therapy forms.

People come to therapy for all different reasons; some may want to explore and learn a bit more about themselves in a new way, while some people may have more urgent or specific needs they are looking for support with. If life is feeling a bit overwhelming at the moment and perhaps you aren't quite sure why, it may be a good time to seek therapy. Together and at your own pace, we will co-create a safe container to explore what is bringing you here in a way that helps not only solve problems but also to become a better problem solver.

I work with school-aged children, adolescents and adults experiencing stress, symptoms of anxiety and depression, and relationship difficulties. I am attentive to each individual's lived experience and recognise that although relational difficulties (with self and other) are shared human experiences, the ways in which they manifest in each person is entirely unique. My approach is therefore rooted in a deep curiosity about the uniqueness of each individual.

Whatever you are currently finding challenging - anxiety, depression, trauma, despair and disappointments, relationship difficulties, parenting or grief, it is hard to respond creatively when you feel stuck or overwhelmed. My aim is to listen with care to what you have to say about your own particular challenges and to help you understand what is holding you back - this opens up new possibilities. I have worked as a psychotherapist for over 15 years. I work face to face with children, adolescents and adults in my practice in Geelong and offer telehealth counselling to adults via Skype and telephone.

We all struggle at certain times in our lives, looking after ourselves can mean reaching out for support. As a counsellor, I help people feel better within themselves and improve their mental health and well being. Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, like you are no longer yourself? Life's challenges often feel like a lot to deal with, leaving you exhausted, burnt out and low in self esteem. Imagine if there was a way through these challenges, a way to manage your anxiety, deal with overwhelm and work towards your ideal way of feeling. I would love to chat with you about what is going on and how we can start a shift.
