I am passionate about helping people work through difficult situations and stages of life, while respecting their individual perspectives and choices. I feel privileged to be able to discuss the deep and meaningful issues and challenges, helping to create more harmony in your life wherever possible. I will work with you to resolve your problems with understanding, empathy and without judgement. |
Vanessa Steele
I am an experienced professional counsellor in private practice working with both individual clients and couples.
I have also worked as a therapist at Australia's leading treatment centre, South Pacific Private Hospital, working with clients recovering from trauma and addiction. I am Registered as a Level 2 Psychotherapist with the Australian Counselling Association and have a Diploma of Professional Counselling from the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors. I am an Associate Member of BPsych Clinic, have previously worked as a Crisis Counsellor at Lifeline and have training in crisis support, suicide prevention and family violence support.
In our sessions we work with your feelings and experiences, and together we take apart the messy knot of problems, clarify your goals and develop a way to reach them. In a caring and safe space on the Northern Beaches, you can speak with me confidentially about any issues. I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with difficulties, including: conflict, communication issues, depression, anger, anxiety, grief, loss, stress, family dysfunction, trauma, addictions and transitions in life.
Depending on your specific needs, I draw from a number of therapeutic modalities, all incorporating a respectful, strengths-based, person-centred approach. My background in the performing arts has given me a deep appreciation for the incredible diversity in perspectives and choices we make as individuals, the power of communication, both verbal and non-verbal, and the importance of authentic connection in our lives - connection to both self and others.
The counsellor-client relationship is a central part of the healing process. If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, in emotional pain, or want to have a better relationship with your loved one, counselling can help you. I am committed to providing the best service possible to you as my client . Please visit the Testimonials page to see what some other clients have written. I welcome your call to discuss any questions you may have.
