Is Phoster Counselling the Right Fit for You?

  • Counselling is a talk-based style of therapy aimed at having a positive impact on your mental health and overall wellbeing.

    Phoster provides a safe and confidential space to work through issues like:

    • Stress and overwhelm

    • Fears and anxieties

    • Relationship obstacles

    • Parenting disconnects

    • Burnout from career or caring roles

    • Grief and bereavement

    • Other life challenges or uncertainties


    Counselling does not diagnose or treat severe mental illness or addiction-related issues.

  • Phoster counselling supports people over 18 years of age and on a one-on-one basis.

  • An initial 60 minute intake appointment is needed for all new clients.
    Subsequent sessions run for 50 minutes.

    Depending on your goals and needs, we might work together for:

    • Only a few sessions or weeks

    • Over several months, on a weekly or fortnightly basis

    • Or reconnect over time as questions, difficulties or issues arise in your life

  • Appointments are held:

    • In-person in Torquay

    • Online via Google Meet (a steady internet connection is needed for this)

    • Via telehealth on the phone

The Guiding Principles of Working Together

Person-Centred

Because all people are unique, there’s no one-size-fits-all counselling method.

By offering you a person-centred approach, sessions are tailored to your individual priorities and goals.

We’ll cast a holistic lens over your life or circumstance and honour the values, influences and experiences that make you YOU.

Strengths-Based

You might not feel like it when you reach out to make your appointment, but you do have the strengths needed to get through challenging times.

We’ll work together to build your capacity for resilience and grow your awareness and problem-solving skills by using evidence-based techniques and interventions.

Trauma Informed

Past experiences can deeply influence current behaviours and feelings, so it’s important that you always feel safe when we work together.

You will always be offered therapeutic choices and have full control about the paths you want to explore and how we get there.
