I have a deeply-held belief that people don’t damage their lives on purpose, and that we are usually doing the very best we can. So I approach counselling with the idea that we are doing what we do, for very good reasons. In my style of counselling, we do deeper work - I believe that when you treat the cause, rather than the symptoms, then often the symptoms just take care of themselves. I’ve seen this happen so many times. My approach is warm, compassionate, and very calm and gentle. Also, we often laugh during my sessions. I specialise in complex work, and love it when I see people healing and growing. That’s when I do my counsellor happy dance :) Areas of special interest: Marriage and Relationship Counselling, Trauma, Historic Sexual Abuse, Christian Counselling, Grief and Loss, Frozen Grief, ASD/ADHD. Fees: Individual Counselling $160 ($125 concession). Couple Counselling Daytime $195 ($155 concession). Evening relationship counselling $215, Weekend $250. Fees are GST inclusive. Many private health funds offer rebates for Counsellors. Please see my website: The Counselling Room www.thecounsellingroom.com.au for full details of fees. I also accept NDIS, and EAP referrals.

I have extensive experience in providing counselling and psychotherapy for people with a broad range of emotional health issues. I have started to work with trauma and cross-cultural mental health since 2007. I work as a senior counsellor in a community organisation while offering therapies in my private practice in Fremantle, WA & online. My approach is non-judgmental, person-centred and trauma-informed. I embrace all forms of diversity. I take a holistic, integrative and embodied approach, attending to the connection of mind, body and spirit. I integrate the various therapeutic modalities to meet the needs and nature of clients I am trained in Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems (IFS) Level 2, IFS-Informed EMDR and am Certified in Brainspotting.

To transform my physical appearance from dress size 20 to 8, required me to undertake personal training sessions and participate in intensive weight training, yoga/pilates, cross-fit and boot camps and prepare healthy meals. My transformation motivated me to become a trainer and help others. I joined Fitness First in 2005 as a personal trainer.

Clinical counselling – I have the ability to competently design and implement strategies and techniques to assist clients to understand how they may be able to manage their mental health concerns including anxiety, stress, trauma, depression, substance related disorders and relationship issues.

Therapy with Adelaide I believe the quality of our relationships profoundly shapes how we experience life. When our relationships feel connected, respectful, and loving, we’re more able to thrive—emotionally, physically, and spiritually. As a holistic psychotherapist and Gottman Level 2 trained relationship counsellor, I support both individuals and couples to navigate challenges, deepen emotional connection, and create meaningful, lasting change. My approach is warm, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that healing happens in safe, supportive spaces. I offer a non-judgmental environment where your experiences are deeply heard and held with care. From this foundation of safety, we can explore relational patterns, build understanding, and create the shifts needed for transformation. In my work with couples, I draw on Gottman Method Couples Therapy, a structured, evidence-based approach developed from over 50 years of research with more than 3,000 couples. This method provides practical tools to help couples manage conflict more effectively, nurture friendship and intimacy, and strengthen their shared meaning. When I work with couples, my aim is twofold: to support you in addressing the challenges you're currently facing, and to equip you with practical tools to strengthen and sustain your relationship long term. Together, we’ll work on shifting unhelpful patterns, improving how you manage conflict, and finding ways to reconnect and enjoy each other again. I support individuals and couples navigating a range of challenges, including communication breakdowns, frequent conflict, trust issues, intimacy concerns, and emotional disconnection. I also work with those going through life transitions such as parenthood, relocation, or career changes—times when relationships are often stretched and reshaped. Couples sessions are 90 minutes in length. We begin with weekly sessions, moving to fortnightly as progress is made. Most couples benefit from between 10 and 20 sessions. Goals and progress are reviewed regularly to ensure therapy remains focused and aligned with the relationship you want to build together. Adelaide's Qualifications & Experience Adelaide is a dedicated and compassionate therapist with postgraduate training in Holistic Counselling and Psychotherapy and membership with PACFA.

This lived experience sparked a deep curiosity about what helps relationships thrive, ultimately leading her to train in the Gottman Method (Level 2) and dedicate her work to supporting couples in building healthy, lasting connection. Her diverse background spans youth development, community mental health, disability support, and retreat facilitation, including roles with Lifeline, Central West Women’s Health Centre, Outlook Ecotherapy, and the Raise Foundation.

Hello, I'm Caroline Crombie. I established the Speakeasy Counselling service in Dalwallinu to provide culturally sensitive, scientifically supported, psychologically based mental health care for people living in the northern Wheatbelt region of WA. My clients come from a variety of backgrounds including Badimaya, Yamatji and Noongar mobs, old farming families, local townsfolk and new migrants. I deeply respect the different spiritual, cultural and ethnic values that each client brings. Together, we have engaged in reflective discussions that span many concerns and interests, as well as encountering all levels of life satisfaction from intense distress to peaceful confidence. Some of my clients are perfectly happy, and are eager to explore future life goals. At the other end of the life satisfaction spectrum, some clients are experiencing acute distress, perhaps in the context of complex mental illness in themselves or a loved one. Other clients are somewhere in between, and may have come seeking assistance with any number of issues including parenting and couples relationships, gender and sexuality concerns, anxiety and depression, anger-management, drug and alcohol dependence and even sometimes not being quite sure what the problem is, but needing some help figuring it out... In counselling, there's no right or wrong concern, and no need is too great or too small; everyone should have someone to talk to that they can trust completely. We all need that. Coming from a rural, farming background myself, I understand the complexity of living and working in a small, close-knit community. Therefore, I take every precaution to ensure client confidentiality is maintained, and that our social network connections are recognised, respected and sensitively handled. I have qualifications and a long background in psychology and counselling, and currently operate as a "Counsellor in Private Practice". The Speakeasy Clinic operates from my office in Pithara, and also as a telehealth service via videoconferencing.
