Our Approach

At Croydon Counselling, we believe that empowering individuals to understand the importance of their thoughts and emotions is key to making changes in their lives. We incorporate a Positive Psychology approach, universal philosophies, and personal experiences to help empower and heal. The modalities we have found to be successful include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Neural Linguistic Programming (NLP), Gestalt Therapy, and Hypnotherapy.

The Lotus Rooms

Croydon Counselling is part of "The Lotus Rooms, " which also includes Mitcham and Healesville Counselling and Personal Development Centres. The lotus flower is regarded by Buddhists as a symbol of beauty and purity and yet comes from dirty, murky waters. The Buddhist analogy suggests that even coming from bad circumstances, we can develop into something beautiful, just like the Lotus Flower. This is our philosophy too. We are dedicated to helping you develop and rise above your circumstances, to create mental, spiritual, and physical health.

• Full Fee: $80 per session for ALL counselling. Counselling sessions, including Relationship Counselling, are approximately 1 hour in duration.
