Counselling Care

Welcome to Counselling Care, located at Maroubra on Anzac Parade. We are an establishment dedicated to providing health services and are considered a point of interest in the community. At Counselling Care, we believe in the power of relationships and their impact on our lives. As Harville Hendrix said, "We are born into relationship, we are wounded in relationship, and we can be healed in relationship."

Our dedicated therapist, Sharon James, has a deep understanding of how individual experiences can affect our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, leading to various challenges in life. With her extensive experience, Sharon is frequently referred clients by other therapists and health professionals. She recognized the need for individual and couple therapy, as people may appear capable and competent on the surface but struggle internally in different ways.

Having worked in a private psychiatric facility for several years, Sharon decided to establish her private practice to provide specialized care to her clients. She is highly trained and committed to helping individuals and couples improve their relationships. Sharon believes that understanding how people protect themselves from vulnerability and discomfort is crucial in helping them achieve their goals.

In addition to her training from the Couples Institute in San Francisco, USA, Sharon incorporates various evidence-based modalities into her practice. These modalities are based on attachment theory, neuroscience, and the stages of relationship development. By using these frameworks and integrating an existential philosophy, Sharon provides a holistic approach to therapy.

We are proud to share the success stories of our clients who have benefited from Sharon's expertise. One couple expressed their gratitude for the support they received during their struggles. After 15 years together, they were unhappy for the past two years before starting couple therapy. Through their sessions, they learned to understand their own history and how they unintentionally hurt each other. With the strategies learned in therapy, they have transformed their relationship, replacing fights with productive discussions that bring them closer together.

At Counselling Care, we are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for individuals and couples seeking support and guidance. Whether you are experiencing relationship difficulties, personal challenges, or simply want to improve your overall well-being, Sharon James is here to help. Contact us today to begin your journey towards healing and growth.
