YOU MATTER

Norwest Counselling

Norwest Counselling is located within the premises of Holistic Health Norwest. The Principal Therapist is Deborah Sanasi.

Deborah works predominantly from an Emotionally Focused perspective – one of the current leading evidence-based therapies in North America and Canada.

EFT* is a client-centred, process experiential approach that has its roots in Constructivism and Attachment Theory.

Deborah is a clinically registered member of the Psychotherapists And Counsellors Federation of Australia (PACFA), and as such meets the national annual requirements for professional supervision and professional development.

*(nb: Emotionally Focused Therapy is NOT Emotional Freedom Technique. They share the same acronym but are completely different modalities).

Counselling and Psychotherapy

At Norwest Counselling we offer both Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Counselling is a relatively short-term process (6-12 weeks) and is when a person engages with the Counsellor for the purpose of dealing with a present life situation. The following are examples of situations that may require counselling: a bereavement, a relationship breakdown, work stress, anxiety attacks, accident or illness, or a depressive episode.

Psychotherapy is a more long-term process whereby the client chooses to deal with issues that have occurred in childhood that have come to significantly impact on their relationships & emotional wellbeing in adulthood.
