Ms Kerynn Fotiou Counsellor (Provisional)

Hi, I am Kerynn! I am a Lifeline certified DV-alert practitioner who is passionate about working with marginalised communities, with women, children, adolescents and elders affected by domestic and family violence, indigenous communities and those who are facing systemic barriers. I also specialise in providing support to NDIS participants and neurodiverse individuals in achieving goals, collaborating with allied health professionals, GPs, NDIS stakeholders and community-based organisations to improve daily living. I am also a certified EFT practitioner who provides support in symptom management for pain management, trauma, stress, PTSD, anxiety, depression, chronic illness and acquired brain injuries. My approach to counselling and psychotherapy is a strengths-based and integrative framework, drawing from modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, EMDR, EFT, Ecological Systems Therapy and Feminist Therapy. These modalities not only build confidence and resilience but also leverage an individual's strengths to foster transformative change. This allows me to tailor my methods to best suit each person's unique needs. I believe that individuals are the experts in their own lives, capable of making meaningful changes and achieving their goals. I am deeply committed to personal and professional development and building strength and resilience in my clients. By creating a strong therapeutic alliance, I empower my clients to achieve autonomy, self-determination, self-exploration, and self-actualisation.
