My name is Daphne and am a registered Clinical Counsellor with Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA). I have worked in a non for profit organisation providing psycho-social support for individuals living with Mental Health issues, supporting them in their personal journey to recovery. I have also work in a school setting, supporting adolescents and their families with life challenges such as social, emotional, and behavioural concerns.
I maintain professionalism throughout my practice and great respect for my clients and their narrative and foster an unconditional positive regard throughout their appointments. In developing a therapeutic alliance with my clients, I actively listen, support, and encourage them to develop and work towards their own goals, which has always enabled me to develop positive rapport. In respect of the individuality of clients, I have strive to develop an eclectic, evidence based, therapeutic approach in treating clients’ issues by learning several therapies such as, Narrative Therapy, Solution Focus Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Family Therapy and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.
