'focus on moving towards something rather than arriving at a state of completion'
our services
Joanna has a genuine interest to get to know each client individually and has the desire to create a positive, supportive and confidential counselling service in the Adelaide Hills! Sessions are 45 or 60 minutes in duration and are bookable online via this webpage. Your first session is an opportunity to get to know one another, discuss what led you to counselling and, most importantly, see if Talking Heads Counselling is the right fit for you. During ongoing sessions, a range of evidence-based psychological interventions that are most suitable for you will be used (mainly CBT and SFT). Talking Heads Counselling can provide short-term or medium-term counselling services, and each session is guided by individual and family-based goals. In-school and tele-health counselling appointments are also available if you are unable to attend the Stirling office. Collin & Phil the friendly dachshunds are important team members, but only attend appointments occasionally.
