AREAS OF SUPPORT
Whatever you're facing, you don't have to have all the answers before you begin
Sometimes you know exactly what you would like support with.
Other times, you simply know that something in your life, relationships, thoughts or emotions isn't feeling right.
Counselling Tasmania can help you explore practitioners who work across a range of personal, relationship and wellbeing concerns.
Start with what feels closest to what you're experiencing.
Counselling Tasmania is an initiative of 1 Source Health & Wellbeing Inc., a Tasmanian registered charity.

AREAS OF SUPPORT
What would you like support with?
ANXIETY & STRESS
When your mind feels like it won't switch off.
Anxiety and stress can show up differently for different people.
You may experience worry, racing thoughts, difficulty relaxing, feeling constantly on edge, trouble sleeping, overwhelm or physical feelings of tension.
Sometimes there is a clear reason.
Sometimes there isn't.
Counselling can provide a space to explore what is happening, understand patterns and develop strategies that may help you respond differently to difficult thoughts, feelings or situations.
You might consider support if you're experiencing:
ongoing worry
stress or overwhelm
anxious thoughts
difficulty relaxing
work or family pressure
significant change
fear or uncertainty
difficulty switching off
reduced confidence
emotional exhaustion
RELATIONSHIPS & COUPLES
Relationships can be deeply rewarding — and deeply challenging.
Every relationship experiences difficulties.
Sometimes the challenge is communication.
Sometimes it's trust, recurring conflict, disconnection, intimacy, different expectations or deciding what comes next.
Counselling can provide space to explore what is happening within a relationship and how each person is experiencing it.
People may seek relationship support around:
communication
recurring arguments
relationship conflict
separation
trust
intimacy
rebuilding connection
changing relationship dynamics
family relationships
understanding patterns in relationships
GRIEF & LOSS
There is no single right way to experience loss.
Grief can follow the death of someone important to us, but it can also accompany the end of a relationship, changes in health, employment, identity, family circumstances or other significant parts of life.
People experience grief differently.
You may want somewhere to talk openly about what has happened, what you are feeling and how life has changed.
Support may relate to:
bereavement
relationship breakdown
major life changes
loneliness
adjusting to loss
difficult emotions
family changes
finding a way forward
TRAUMA & DIFFICULT EXPERIENCES
Difficult experiences can continue affecting us long after the event has passed.
Some practitioners within the Counselling Tasmania network have specific training or experience relevant to trauma.
For example, Kristy Ingram's existing profile identifies Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) alongside CBT and humanistic/client-centred therapy.
You may wish to explore support around:
traumatic experiences
distressing memories
difficult past experiences
emotional reactions
life after a significant event
anxiety associated with past experiences
rebuilding safety and confidence
Because trauma support can require particular training and experience, we encourage you to read each practitioner's full qualifications and profile and discuss your needs directly with them.
DEPRESSION & EMOTIONAL WELLBEING
When life feels heavier than usual.
There may be periods where you feel low, disconnected, emotionally exhausted, unmotivated or simply unlike yourself.
Counselling may offer a place to talk about what you're experiencing and explore the circumstances, thoughts, relationships or changes influencing how you feel.
You may be looking for support around:
persistent low mood
loss of motivation
emotional exhaustion
isolation
lack of confidence
difficult thoughts
major life stress
feeling stuck
changes in emotional wellbeing
Counselling Tasmania is not a crisis or emergency mental health service. If you are in immediate danger, call 000.
FAMILY & PARENTING
Families change, grow and face challenges together.
Family life can involve different personalities, expectations, communication styles and needs.
People may seek counselling around:
family conflict
parenting challenges
communication
changing family structures
separation
relationships between family members
supporting children or young people
boundaries
major family transitions
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Counselling doesn't have to begin with a crisis.
Sometimes you may simply want to understand yourself better.
You may want greater confidence, clarity or awareness of the patterns that influence your decisions, relationships and behaviour.
Areas may include:
self-awareness
confidence
self-esteem
boundaries
recurring patterns
decision-making
personal direction
beliefs
communication
resilience
finding greater clarity
WORK, BUSINESS & CAREER
Work can affect far more than our working hours.
Career uncertainty, workplace conflict, business pressures and professional change can affect confidence, relationships and wellbeing.
Support may relate to:
workplace stress
burnout
career change
workplace relationships
confidence
business pressures
financial mindset
decision-making
professional direction
work/life balance
purpose and motivation
LIFE TRANSITIONS
Change can be exciting, difficult — or both.
Life rarely stays exactly as we planned it.
Counselling may provide support while adjusting to:
separation or divorce
moving home
career change
retirement
children leaving home
new relationships
becoming a parent
caring responsibilities
changes in identity
major lifestyle changes
loss
beginning a new chapter
MINDFULNESS & WELLBEING
Creating space to slow down and reconnect.
Some practitioners may incorporate approaches related to mindfulness, relaxation, self-awareness or emotional regulation within their work.
Areas may include:
stress management
relaxation
mindfulness
self-awareness
emotional regulation
resilience
reconnecting with yourself
creating healthier routines
NOT SURE WHERE TO START?
You don't need to put yourself into a category
Your experience may fit several of the areas above — or none of them perfectly.
That's completely fine.
Rather than trying to decide what label fits, you can simply:
Browse the practitioners
Read about their background, qualifications and approach.
Look for the person, not just the category
Consider whether the way they describe their work feels comfortable to you.
Read their full profile
See whether their experience seems relevant to what you're facing.
Make contact
Ask the practitioner whether they believe their services may be appropriate for you.
