My approach to counselling

A smiling older woman with short brown hair, wearing a light blue textured jacket, sits at a wooden table with her hands clasped, against a warm beige background.

I’m Tina, a qualified counsellor with 25 years of therapeutic experience supporting people from diverse background and experiences. My tertiary qualifications which include : BA (Psychology), Master of Counselling and further professional trainings have all been carried out in Perth, Western Australia.

I work with adults of all ages and with couples offering a welcoming, non-judgemental and confidential space and presence. In our sessions you can expect to be listened to, heard, understood and validated first and foremost. Beyond that, our work may include deciding on a practical goal for your sessions and working towards it, to understand your role in it, to manage it.  I will be there for you to reflect acceptance, respect and a willingness to follow your lead.

I understand that starting counselling/therapy is difficult. It takes courage to face oneself, to make the time for oneself and  to risk being open and to even find the right words to do this. You can count on me, you can expect warmth, confidentiality, thoughtful listening and professional support. Together, we’ll work towards insights and changes that feel meaningful and achievable to you.

If you are ready to begin, I invite you to book a session and take this next step for yourself.

“Tina’s pragmatic approach means I always walk away with practical, tailored strategies—not theory or generic advice.”

  • "My counsellor Tina, has been very respectful and balanced sensitivity and pro active suggestions and advice. Tina has been able to delve into the complex issues, provide advice, create an environment that feels safe, open and confidential. Tina has

  • "Tina "got me" from the start and was able to provide some good strategies for my situation. She has helped me to grow and have more insight. Thank you."

  • “I did not realise just how much I was struggling until l started to talk about all the things going on in my life. My counselling with Tuna has been invaluable and has assisted me greatly in gaining more optimism moving forward in place of hopelessness.”

  • "I really appreciate the empathy shown by my counsellor. She took the time to understand my situation instead of giving me the standard answers. I would highly recommend her to my colleagues if the need arises."

  • "I would like to commend Tina for her understanding and care. She is is one of the very few people that understands the devastation that has been wreaked upon me. Even though there is little she can do in a tangible sense, her understanding and insights have been highly valuable. Tina is the type of person one hopes to encounter when entering into this type of treatment and I suspect there are not too many like her. Insightful and critical at appropriate times, but never judgmental."

  • "Very obviously the best counselling experience I've ever had."

  • "I have been working with Tina on various mental and emotional health issues continuously since 2017, ever since she was with my company's EAP provider and now as a private practitioner. Since my first session with Tina, I have always been impressed by her utter professionalism - being punctual, prepared, attentive without judging, and deeply empathetic towards my circumstances without being patronising. I have seen numerous psychologists and counsellors over the years and can say these collective traits are hard to come by in any individual therapist. She offers a safe space to be listened to rather than talked at."

  • "What I like most about Tina's approach is that she employs a pragmatic rather than a theoretical approach to her counselling, so I always feel I receive practical advice on how to address my problems which are tailored to my specific situation at that time, rather than being typologised into a theoretical model. Obviously it took a few sessions for Tina and me to understand each other and clarify expectations, but once this was achieved, Tina has been the best counsellor I've seen without a doubt."
