Welcome to Oak Counselling – Your Story, Your Journey, Your Growth

Hi, I’m Catriona, a professionally accredited counsellor with a Master of Counselling and a BA (Hons) in Psychology. With a strong foundation in psychology and education, my counselling approach is rooted in person-centred and strengths-based principles. I believe that you are the expert of your own life and that everyone has the capacity for growth and positive change. My role is to support you in that journey by creating a safe, genuine, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges with confidence.

How I Can Support You

I provide compassionate mental health counselling for adolescents and adults of all ages across diverse backgrounds, helping you navigate life’s ups and downs while building resilience and self-understanding. My approach is all about empowerment—honouring your unique experiences and working together to develop the skills and strategies that best support your wellbeing.

Known for my warm, down-to-earth style, I tailor each session to suit your individual needs, whether you’re facing personal challenges, navigating transitions, or simply seeking personal growth. My goal is to ensure you feel heard, supported, and equipped with the tools to take control of your mental health journey.

Accessible & Flexible Counselling Options

I offer affordable in-person, telehealth, and walk-and-talk counselling across Australia. If you’re unsure of what you need, you’re welcome to book a free 30-minute initial consultation through my website. This gives us a chance to discuss your situation and how I can best support you.

My Counselling Approach

I understand that different approaches work for different people, so I customise each session to align with your unique challenges and goals. By integrating a variety of evidence-based therapies, I ensure our work together is both meaningful and effective.

Some of the approaches I use include:

• Solution-Focused Therapy
• Narrative Therapy
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
• Motivational Interviewing
• Mindfulness Techniques

Let’s Work Together
