Counselling is defined as a talk therapy where a qualified professional assists clients in exploring their thoughts, feelings and behaviours to address areas of needs. Counsellors will not ‘fix’ clients or tell them what to do, rather, they will provide support and guidance to help clients develop the skills and resilience to solve their own dilemmas.

At Equitude Counselling sessions are conducted in the office space, unless you are doing equine assisted therapy.

Equine Assisted Therapy counselling sessions are conducted outside in the paddock, amongst the horses. These sessions offer a different experience for clients to engage in therapy whilst interacting with horses.

Equine Assisted Therapy allows the horses to co-facilitate the session and offer an honest reflection of our nervous system as they are congruent animals.

Play therapy is a specialised therapy that offers creative play for children aged between 4 and 12 years old. Play therapy incorporates various activities to foster healthy development, emotional regulation and working through trauma.

These activities may be sand play, art therapy or other creative expressive therapies.

All our horses bring their unique personality to each session and offer clients a different experience.

I have always worked in a role supporting people through hardship. I have a Bachelors Degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice, and have over 10 years experience in this field. During this time I have been exposed to various situations and experiences, but mostly I have supported people through unimaginable trauma. This means that anything you bring to our sessions will not cause me discomfort or shock, and I can support you through it all!

Currently I’m working in a crisis family violence role which has further developed my skills in supporting vulnerable people in crisis.

I am most passionate about working with children and adolescents to help them learn vital skills to overcome adversity before it becomes crippling or problematic later in life.

I pride myself on creating a safe and welcoming space to assist people in feeling comfortable to disclose their most vulnerable thoughts and feelings. I have great interpersonal skills to have challenging conversations that help you explore your unhelpful thinking patterns and sustain positive behavioural change.

FAQ’s

If I bring a friend can we get a discount?

What if it rains during our sessions?

If you and your friend are wanting to do counselling sessions together, there will be a discount however the reason for the session must be related to your friendship. If you refer a friend for individual counselling there will be no discount to either client.

There will be undercover areas and an indoor office soon that will allow sessions to be conducted indoors or outdoors during rain. Please note, if weather is unsafe and puts clients at risk of injury alternatives will be discussed.

What happens if we go over the allocated time?

Can I stay and watch my child’s session?

We will monitor the time throughout the session discretely and will try not to go over. If we do, there will be no extra cost to clients, however please appreciate that we may have other clients scheduled after your session and will need to end the sessions abruptly to ensure confidentiality is maintained.

We appreciate you may want to stay and supervise your child, however we will consult with the child and assess each situation. Likely we will politely ask you to remain in the office or car for the duration of the session. Family therapy is offered at Equitude Counselling.

What if I need to cancel at short notice?

Please cancel your appointment as early as possible. Equitude Counselling has a cancellation policy stipulating cancellation needs to occur 48 hours prior to your session. If you cancel within 48 hours of your appointment, a payment of 50% will be required.
