specialised support Tailored to meet your specific needs
our philosophy
One On One Counselling is a dynamic organisation that changes and adapts to shifting environments and circumstances to ensure that our services are appropriate and best practice at all times.
The theraputic interventions introduced are designed to meet your unique circumstances and specific needs. One On One Counselling supports you to challenge the way you habitually think about your circumstances; to adapt and re-focus according to your current needs. Our goal is to facilitate our clients in developing a toolbox of strategies to help deal with whatever life throws at us!
strategies
Proven interventions such as Mindfulness; Cognitive Behvioural Therapy; Strengths and Acceptance therapies (to name a few) form the back bone of the work that we do with you. We often hear from our clients that when these stategies are utilised in the real world, the results can be 'life changing".

How?
One On One is using the "Zoom" platform to conduct Telehealth meetings; phone call or face to face consultations.
Zoom is recommended by our industry as being secure and user friendly. It is also free to download and only requires you to click on the link when your clinician sends you a meeting invite. And if you're not comfortable with this, we are more than happy to give you a call and chat on the phone if you would prefer.
Either way, if you have any concerns or questions, just send us a message or call and we will sort things out together.

Unintended consequences
Many people have found new direction and meaning in their lives over recent years. While this has been difficult and painful at times, for many it has also provided the opportunity to grow and learn new ways of being in the world. At One On One Counselling we work with you to develop a more positive and optimistic view of our lives by simply changing the way we think. Sounds simple? It is simple once we recognise the power of our minds and an awareness of how we are contributing to our unhappiness and empower ourselves to take back our control.
Let's take a breath
Over the past few years, we have been given a once in a lifetime opportunity to stop,take a breath and reassess what is really important in life. Many people have found that their priorities have changed and the things we sometimes take for granted such as spending time with our families and friends are now more important than ever before. We now have the opportunity to embrace these learnings and change or improve the way we live our lives going forward.

Resident Therapy Dogs
Marli and Maggie are our resident therapy dogs who love nothing better than meeting new people and lending a friendly paw when needed! The girls provide a great example of Mindfulness in action, which is something that dogs are particularly good at and is one of the interventions that we focus on a lot in therapy! And now with our new clinic up and running, Marli and Maggie look forward to meeting you in person!
Sadly we lost our beautiful Maril just before Christmas to a sudden illness. We have cried with our clients who love the girls as much as we do and also laughed at all the fun and happy memories we have of Marli.
Maggie is adjusting well and she would love to meet you!
