Sally Thomson

Counsellor

Sally is a skilled professional counsellor supporting individuals of all ages, as well as couples and families. Registered with the Australian Counselling Association, Sally works with clients to address a wide range of concerns and has particular interest in anxiety and depression. Helping clients to feel at ease, Sally brings a compassionate and empathetic approach, collaborating with them to explore challenges and difficulties and leading the way to identifying agreed treatment goals. Developing greater self-awareness, clients learn to manage their own thoughts and feelings becoming more able to consider better ways to communicate in relationships at home, in their social lives and at work. During childhood and throughout life, experiences and traumas of all kinds can affect aspects of our development leading us to form unhelpful fixed patterns and beliefs about ourselves that get in the way of life. Sally believes that people can learn to develop a growth mindset, striving to become their best selves, focusing on strengths whilst developing self-compassion to embrace imperfections, and authenticity for greater fulfilment in life. Sally can help you achieve this by drawing on her sound knowledge and skills, founded on university studies in counselling and art therapy and background in nursing and health industry. Sally’s approach is person-centred, based on the available evidence, and focused on outcomes which help to meet client’s therapeutic needs.
