Get to know me
Hi, I'm Aleks!
A qualified counsellor (ACA level 3), psychotherapist and clinical supervisor, with over five years of experience working with individuals in a clinical setting.
I started my career in mental health eight years ago, working with children and teenagers from a trauma background. After completing my qualifications, I moved into working with adults and providing individual counselling sessions across Sydney.
My Experience
My clinical experience has been diverse; working with clients 17-67 years of age. I have worked with parents, teenagers, students, long-term unemployed, ex-offenders, to name but a few. As a counsellor, I am trained to work with a variety of presentations and concerns, including, but not limited to, anxiety, stress, depression, AOD dependencies, lack of motivation and anger/mood management.
My Approach
I use an evidence-based approach, while maintaining a safe and non-judgmental space for all clients. I embrace collaboration and personalise the sessions to suit your needs and goals. The typical scientific-based approaches I would use are, CBT, ACT, DBT and SFT.
My master's training emphasised on human experiences and a person-centred approach, often focusing on increasing self-awareness and self-understanding.
