At Safe Space Specialised Counselling, we are dedicated to offering compassionate and professional support for individuals aged 13 and over. Our mission is to empower clients through tailored counselling that reflects their unique experiences, all within a safe and respectful environment for healing.
Guided by empathy, respect, and integrity, we create a space where clients feel valued, understood, and supported. We uphold the highest standards of confidentiality and ethical practice, ensuring that trust is central to our work.
Areas of Counselling
We provide comprehensive support in all areas of counselling, with special expertise in:
Domestic Violence Counselling – Offering unique, evidence-based support for both victims and perpetrators of domestic violence.
Grief and Loss After Suicide – Delivering specialised care to help navigate the complex emotions and challenges that arise after suicide loss, including addressing suicidal thoughts.
General Grief and Loss Counselling – Assisting clients as they work through bereavement and significant life changes, ensuring they feel supported during their healing journey. Additionally, we offer telehealth counselling options to make our services accessible to everyone.
The goal is to deepen your understanding of domestic violence while engaging in domestic violence counselling and learning strategies for emotional stability, managing triggers and flashbacks, building resilience, and prioritizing self-care. Gaining insight into the complex dynamics of domestic violence, which includes intimate partner violence, family abuse, and historical violence such as childhood experiences, can help make sense of your experiences. Additionally, addressing grief and loss, and navigating any suicidal thoughts through telehealth counselling can further support your journey.
Supporting You Through Life’s Challenges We provide individual counselling services tailored to meet your unique needs. Whether you are navigating suicidal thoughts, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or other personal challenges, our goal is to offer a compassionate, safe, and supportive environment where healing can take place. Grief and Loss We have a particular specialty in grief and loss counselling, especially for individuals experiencing the profound impact of loss after suicide. This type of loss often brings many unanswered questions and a wide range of intense emotions and physical reactions that can feel unfamiliar, frightening, and overwhelming. Common emotional responses may include guilt, anger, shame, rejection, sadness, and fear. We offer a space to explore and process these complex feelings, helping you navigate this difficult journey with care and understanding. Boundary Building We work with individuals of all ages to develop healthy and effective personal boundaries. This includes supporting teens and young people in learning to set boundaries, as well as assisting individuals recovering from domestic violence through counselling in rebuilding them. In abusive environments, boundaries are often eroded over time as part of a tactic to gain power and control. Our counselling approach helps you restore those boundaries, reclaim your sense of safety, and foster healthier relationships. For added convenience, we also offer telehealth counselling to ensure you can access our services from the comfort of your home.
We understand that life can be busy, making it challenging to attend in-person therapy sessions. That's why we offer telehealth counselling services, allowing you to connect from the privacy of your own home. Our secure and convenient teletherapy sessions are ideal for those seeking support for issues like grief and loss, suicidal thoughts, or even specific needs such as domestic violence counselling.
Commitment to Change
Engaging in this counselling process requires a genuine readiness for change. Sessions in our domestic violence counselling program focus on developing accountability, addressing abusive behaviours, and identifying their underlying causes. Clients are supported in building effective communication skills, practicing anger management techniques, and gaining insight into how attachment styles and learned behaviours from childhood influence current relationships.
The process also includes learning healthy conflict resolution strategies, fostering personal growth, and creating lasting positive change. Additionally, we offer support for those dealing with grief and loss, as well as individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts. Our telehealth counselling options ensure that clients can access these vital resources from the comfort of their own home.
What’s the difference between a counsellor and a psychologist? Counsellors provide a safe space to talk through life challenges, stress, grief and loss, or trauma, helping you build coping strategies and emotional wellbeing. They also offer specialised support for those dealing with suicidal thoughts or seeking domestic violence counselling. Psychologists, on the other hand, are trained to diagnose and treat mental health conditions using specialised therapies. Both play an important role in supporting your mental health—just in different ways.
FEES - Currently, counsellors are not able to offer sessions under the mental health plans (this may change in the future).
I have set fees to align less than a typical gap payment charged by a psychologist with a similar approach.
