About Caro White Counselling
Help is more likely to come along if you ask for it.
I sometimes think the hardest part of counselling is reaching out for it in the first place. We don't often like the feeling of vulnerability it places us in, yet it is this vulnerability that opens the way for things to change. It is even more intimidating for men. It would be a rare occasion that people who come to see me don't walk through the door and say something like 'I'm feeling nervous/scared/not sure about this'. I am confident in saying that most of the time it doesn't take long before people feel comfortable with me and able to open up about whats been going on that has brought them to counselling. It takes great courage and reaps great rewards.
Who do I work with?
I work with all sorts of people with all sorts of problems including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship breakdowns, a general sense of feeling lost or those wanting to create some 'me time'. I also have a special interest in:
- transition to parenting for individuals, couples and multi partnered relationships
- ante and post natal depression and/or anxiety in both men and women.
- sexuality
- personal development
- adolescent mental health and support
- attachment wounds
- LGBTIQ+ community
What I can promise.
I am 1oo% committed to providing the best care I possibly can to those who entrust me with their most vulnerable aspects. I am a Level 4 member of Australian Counselling Association and as such comply with their professional and ethical requirements. I am passionate about counselling and art therapy and have seen it effect the lives of clients, friends, family and for myself. That said, sometimes it takes a while to find the right fit in a counsellor. I will be honest, transparent and professional.
The key modalities that I work within are Emotion Focused Therapy, Person Centred Therapy, Art Therapy, Guided Drawing for Trauma and I am also a Becoming Us transition to parenting facilitator. I am continuously adding to my repertoire and increasing my knowledge of current best practice.
