Overview

My name is Kyra Carter, I live in Newcastle NSW and am a counsellor and the owner of Within reach Counselling - an online counselling practice, here to listen and here to help! My counselling style is compassionate, practical, empathic, and strengths based and I am passionate about helping individuals and families improve their emotional and mental well-being, foster a deeper connection with themselves and each other; to thrive instead of just survive. My aim is to support you using tools and techniques from the Gottman method of Couples therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in tackling negative thoughts, beliefs, patterns, behaviours, and feelings that may be holding you back. I'll support you as you journey toward emotional and mental health and enjoying a better quality life, and along the journey you can expect to be guided to uncover hidden strengths, set and achieve meaningful goals, discover and implement healthy coping strategies, and increase resilience to face life's challenges.
