Hi, I'm Aileen.
I understand that life can be incredibly challenging. Some obstacles are tough to overcome alone. I'm here to be a part of your support network. My approach to counselling is grounded in authenticity, non-judgment, and empathy.
I utilize a mixed method approach, tailoring my counselling style to your unique needs. My favourite techniques include Play Therapy for children, Narrative Therapy, and a Rogerian/ Client Centred approach, with elements of CBT and ACT.
In simple terms, I practice empathetic, non-judgmental, therapy, respecting your unique experiences and emotions throughout our journey together. I believe that with the right tools and support, you can rewrite your inner narratives and find inner harmony.
As a fully registered Australian Counselling Association (ACA) counsellor (level 2) and with a Master's in Counselling, I stay up-to-date with the latest in psychology, counselling, and neurology to provide you with the best support and insights.
" I believe the children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way, show them all the beauty they possess inside, give them a sense of pride to make it easier, let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be..."
