Are you experiencing some difficulties at the moment and not sure what to do to resolve them?
Counselling is a place where your opinions, thoughts, feelings and emotions are respected. It is also a place where you can gain relief from your emotional pain, feel understood and learn coping strategies that can help you manage your life difficulties better.

Maria Simonetta - Counsellor and Psychotherapist

I am in private practice in the inner west of Sydney NSW where I see individuals and couples for counselling and therapy and facilitate groups. My passion and enthusiasm for counselling began in 1996 when I became a Group Facilitator where I developed a deep desire to help others in their life struggles.

About you:
You may be feeling that you can’t cope and are becoming anxious, depressed, frustrated, sad, angry and overwhelmed. Most of us experience difficulties from time to time and the clients that have taken the next step to seek counselling are generally feeling better about themselves, have found new inner strength and self respect.
The process:
As a Counsellor and Psychotherapist I adopt a holistic approach that includes all aspects of the client: spiritual, emotional, physical, mental, cultural and social. All these aspects will be considered in your relationship with yourself and with others and will be incorporated into the therapeutic counselling process.
The benefits:
Counselling can help you experience life from a different perspective that can lead you to a road to freedom. Making a commitment to seek counselling for your issues can help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your life direction and relieve your current symptoms.
Serviced offered:
I offer counseling for individuals, couples, and groups. Counselling focuses on more specific issues where a limited number of sessions can improve your situation. Therapy is more beneficial in gaining long term changes when dealing with more complex and deep rooted issues that have often existed for a long time.
Power of choice any day we can start the process of the life change.

Most of us experience difficulties from time to time, counselling can help you feel better about yourself, allow you find new inner strength, and self respect.
