With Sophia Antoniades

 You might be wondering whether I am the right fit for you in terms of opening your heart to a total stranger. I strive to make sure my clients feel comfortable and confident in themselves for you to then communicate freely without feeling judged or pressured. 

My aim and goals are to encourage you to be in the drivers seat during our sessions and come up with certain goals you would like to achieve, by doing this, it allows you to feel a sense of control over your own needs and wants. I know it can be difficult in the beginning to be vulnerable. We will work together to ensure we gain a deeper understanding of your mental, emotional, and physical health needs. I strive to provide education and strategies which are individually suited. With knowledge comes the ability to make improvements within ones self-growth and awareness.

I have a range of experiences with adolescents who are experiencing Anxiety, Depression Friendship/Relationship difficulties, School Related Stress, Grief/loss, Behavioural Concerns/Anger. I also have experience in adults who are experiencing Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Relationship difficulties, Grief/Loss, Men's Mental Health, and Life Transitions. 

I have completed a Bachelor of Psychology at Victorian University and a Master of Counselling at Monash University. I am registered with Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA). 

I have experience as a School Counsellor (P-12) and working with adults (18+).
