In-person counselling with Catriona provides a warm, safe, and confidential space where you can talk openly and feel fully supported. Being in the same room allows for a deeper connection, with body language and tone helping to create a better understanding of your thoughts and feelings. This relaxed environment helps build trust and encourages open conversations so you can feel comfortable and heard every step of the way. Benefits of in-person counselling include:

Stronger Connection: Being in the same space helps build trust and understanding.

Comfortable Environment: A quiet, welcoming space away from daily distractions.

Effective Communication: Non-verbal cues like facial expressions and body language help express thoughts and emotions.

Structured Routine: Stepping into a counselling space can help you feel more focused and present.

Telehealth counselling, via video or phone, offers a flexible and accessible way to get the support you need. With a secure video connection, you can chat with Catriona from the comfort of your home, making it easy to fit into your busy life. If you prefer privacy and simplicity, phone counselling is a great option—sometimes, talking without face-to-face interaction can feel more comfortable and natural. Benefits of telehealth counselling include:

Effective and accessible: Research shows telehealth counselling can be just as effective as in-person sessions. It’s a great option if you live in a remote area or have mobility challenges.

Convenient and flexible: No need to travel, as you can join your session from home or any private space that suits you. Video and phone options make it easy to fit counselling into your busy schedule.

Comfort and privacy: Online and phone counselling offer a sense of privacy and anonymity, making it easier to open up. If face-to-face feels intimidating, talking through video or phone can be a more comfortable way to express yourself.

Simple and stress-free: Whether by phone or video, telehealth counselling is easy to access, requiring just a phone line or an internet connection.

If you live in the Perth metropolitan area, you can enjoy Walk & Talk counselling at South Perth Foreshore, Burswood Park, Hyde Park, or Kings Park. You will chat with Catriona while walking around the park or even sitting on a park bench, combining the benefits of gentle activity, fresh air, and the calming aspects of nature. Walk & Talk provides a refreshing change from the usual office setting and offers some unique benefits, including:

Connection to nature: Outdoor counselling can help you feel more grounded and at ease, thanks to the calming effect of nature on the mind.

Enhanced mood and mental clarity: Being outside in fresh air and beautiful surroundings can improve your mood and wellbeing. Plus, walking gets your blood flowing, which can enhance cognitive function and mental clarity.

Decreased anxiety and stress: Nature is great for calming nerves and easing anxiety. Walking also helps release endorphins, which can further reduce stress and boost your overall wellbeing.

New perspectives: Movement while talking can help spark creativity and new ideas. Changing the setting from indoors to a natural environment can lead to new insights and breakthroughs in therapy.

Privacy and anonymity: Many find that walking and talking in nature makes them feel more at ease and less self-conscious due to the removal of direct eye contact.

Variety: Counselling doesn’t have to happen in the same location. Walk & talk sessions can take place in any park or natural setting, offering a refreshing change from the usual traditional office setting.
