About Me
Welcome!
My name is Amylia and I am the owner and counsellor at Choices Therapy. I am registered with the Australian Counselling Association and have 8 years of clinical experience working with adults and couples.
Counselling is my passion. I see therapy as an opportunity for constructive conversation; a dedicated time for therapist and client to collaborate in an effort to create balanced mental health and wellbeing. We will focus on emotional intelligence, healthy boundaries, and effective interpersonal skills (communication and conflict management) to facilitate growth and resilience for years to come.
Over my years of practice I have made the decision to use an integrated therapeutic approach. This means that I am able to customise each session to provide my clients with the most rewarding therapeutic experience possible.
Fair warning! I like direct communication and understanding the 'why' so that we can work on the 'what'. If you would like a soft or gentle therapist, I am not going to be the therapist for you (they are out there; it's not me). I like to call a spade a spade, identify uncomfortable truths, play Devil's advocate, and challenge ideas and beliefs where necessary and beneficial for your development.
If this sounds like your kind of therapy, let's talk!
Be Kind. Be Well.
