Welcome to CounsellingCo
Everybody has a story. Everyone has challenges. And life doesn’t always unfold as we planned.
At CounsellingCo, we support your mental health challenges, guide you through difficult times, and help you step forward in a positive way.
CounsellingCo provides confidential and non-judgemental trauma-informed counselling and psychotherapy using evidence-based modalities and the latest neuroscientific research. CounsellingCo is accredited by the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA).
Therapy at CounsellingCo is caring. We “get” what you are going through, whether it’s addiction, ADHD, anxiety or depression, PTSD, C-PTSD, personality disorder or other mental health struggles, we can help. We can also support you through relationship struggles, divorce, separation or grief, or work issues like perfectionism and burn-out.
CounsellingCo empowers you to address life’s problems and navigate a pathway with renewed authenticity and purpose.

Our commitment
Gently challenging
At CounsellingCo, you set your own goals, however, therapy may be challenging. We help you to look beneath the surface to address your core issues. We help you to identify what drives you, what is holding you back, what has shaped your life, and together, we work on addressing your needs and helping you to move forward in a positive way.
CounsellingCo will help you to unlock your truth, and step into your personal power.
Support when you need it
There’s no need to wait until your problems reach crisis point. At CounsellingCo we are devoted to supporting you proactively. If you are a perfectionistic, need some help with time management, if you are at risk of burn-out, or you’re unhappy at work, we can work with you to re-balance your life before it spirals in the wrong direction.
Whether your issues are mildly frustrating, showing up repeatedly, or causing extreme distress, we can help you to see things more clearly, develop a plan for managing your situation and change unhealthy behaviours for long-term results.
Engaging, personalised therapy for lasting change
-
Confidential
CounsellingCo is the ideal solution for people and professionals who want to keep their private life private. Unless there is a need for psychiatric referral, counselling and psychotherapy services are not entered into medical or insurance records.
You can move forward in life with a clean slate.
-
Collaboration
CounsellingCo is "person-centred", which means you are in control and active in driving the direction of your treatment. It is a collaborative process where the counsellor and client cooperate to investigate your situation. We allow you to tell your story or unpack your issues as you see fit.
We are ethically bound to ensure that you are empowered to make your own decisions.
-
Connection
When we are in tune with a trusted therapist, it signals to our nervous system that we are safe. When we’re safe, we can see things clearly, problem solve and use our creativity.
It’s the connection in the professional counselling relationship that helps us to clear blocks and move forward. By reconnecting with ourselves, we can reconnect with others.

— FEMALE CLIENT
“ She (Tamara) connected with me and provided a safe space that helped me to feel comfortable to identify and express my feelings – some of which I didn’t realise were underlying the issues at hand… I didn’t know how much I needed that unload! Felt such a release afterwards.. am so grateful. Thank you Tamara”.
