Counselling or Supervision?

Counselling

Supervision

Through a trusting therapeutic relationship, counselling uses specialist skills to create a space where you can deepen your understanding of yourself, restore your soul, repair relationships, feel more at home in your own body, and move toward living your best life.

Counselling is a supportive and collaborative process that helps you navigate life’s challenges, discover your strengths, and create meaningful change. It offers the strength you need when you feel stretched beyond your limits, while also providing the healthy challenge you may seek when you are feeling strong, safe, and ready to grow.

Counselling is not about being perfect or having all the answers. It is about giving yourself permission to be human while establishing a path of growth, healing, and self-discovery. Together, you and your counsellor can explore what is happening in your life through conversation, investigation of feelings, clarification of thoughts, understanding of behaviours, supportive role play, and the practice of newly learned skills.

Supervision supports good therapy. It is a warm confidential space for counsellors to pause reflect and feel supported on practice decisions whether comfortable or uncertain. Offers an opportunity to explore different perspectives and receive thoughtful guidance on challenging cases. Bringing moments that have stayed with you or areas where you are curious encourages growth of counselling confidence and skills based on evidence-based best practice. Ultimately, this care for the practitioner strengthens the care offered to clients. When counsellors feel supported, grounded, and able to reflect deeply on their work, clients benefit from a therapeutic relationship that is thoughtful, ethical, responsive, and attuned to their individual needs.

Why Ozstretch?

Ozstretch is a metaphor for life. A reflection of a feeling of extension and development. A choice of who and what and where we want to be.
A play on words related to the Ostrich. How do you turn up in life? Do you bury your head in the sand? Wear your heart on your sleeve? (Male Ostrich legs turn red when they are mating. It’s also fair warning not to go near them as they are seriously tempramental) Strut about like you know everything and own the world? (In other words arrogant as, micro manage, power hungry, or think its all about how you look?) Bland as can be? (Fly ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜…under the radar, placating everyone and ignoring needs without boundaries?) Come clarify the you, you want to be. We’ll explore the past, ground into the present and investigate the future. Acknowledge your heritage, establish your strengths and discover the growth to come.

Why choose Ozstretch?
The space that I hold is culturally aware, trauma informed, full of deep empathy and compassion.
Ongoing research and professional development informs the way I work. Collaborating with clients to reduce anxiety, relieve depression and increase self confidence.

Life Stretches us all. We don’t have to stretch alone.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land and pay our respects to past, present and emerging elders who continue to protect, honour and serve.
