Hi, my name is Karina. I am passionate about helping others navigate the challenges they face in their lives. As a compassionate counsellor, I work on building trusting therapeutic relationships by providing you with a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space where you can express yourself openly and honestly and explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

My person-centred approach to counselling is based on empathy and active listening. I value your unique experiences, perspectives, and emotions, and I am committed to understanding your individual needs.

Drawing from a diverse range of therapeutic modalities, I adopt an integrative approach that combines evidence-based techniques with a holistic view of well-being. Whether you are seeking help with managing stress, overcoming anxiety or depression, navigating relationships, or any other challenge, I am equipped to assist you through a personalised blend of approaches such as motivational interviewing (MI), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, solution-focused therapy, and more.

I have been providing counselling services for over 13 years and hold a Bachelors degree with honours in counselling, and a Diploma in supervision.

I have worked with a diverse range of individuals, couples and groups, and have vast experience working in fields of family and domestic violence, problematic substance use and gambling behaviours, stress and anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and more.

I hold level 4 membership with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and abide by their code of ethics. ACA
