Counselling with Gulseli

Welcome to Counselling with Gulseli, located at 146 Northbourne Road in Campbellfield, Australia. Our institution is dedicated to providing individual consultations for women and couples counselling.

At Counselling with Gulseli, we understand that seeking therapy can be daunting, especially due to the stigma attached and perceived cost. However, investing in our psychological health and well-being is invaluable. While we often spend money on material possessions and experiences, they only offer temporary relief. In fact, they can sometimes lead to additional issues such as addictions, unhealthy relationships, and financial problems.

Participating in counselling or psychotherapy has proven to be more effective than medication in most cases. The evidence supporting their effectiveness is continuously growing. Engaging in therapy not only provides short-term relief but also equips individuals with essential life skills such as emotional intelligence, awareness, mindfulness, and self-care, which benefit them for a lifetime.

My name is Gulseli Kalkan, and I am a qualified counsellor and clinically registered individual and couples therapist. With over 13 years of experience in therapeutic, educational, community service settings, and private practice, I have connected with people from all walks of life. Each person has their own unique experiences, obstacles, and triggers, and my approach is to provide a non-judgemental and confidential space for individuals to share their stories.

I possess a sound knowledge of theoretical counselling approaches and their application in real-world settings. I have a special interest in holistic counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy, integrative counselling, person-centred counselling, conflict management, and marriage counselling. My practice embraces acceptance, compassion, and inner truth, creating an environment where clients can feel supported and understood.

I hold a B.A in Applied Social Science (Psychology) from the Australian College of Applied Psychology, a Grad.dip in Clinical Counselling from the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors, and a Cert.dip in Psychotherapy from the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors. I am also a registered counsellor of the Australian Counselling Association.

I have experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds and age groups. Confidentiality and professional boundaries are of utmost importance to me.

One of my areas of expertise is couples counselling. Over the years, I have worked with many couples to achieve the best outcomes for each individual and their relationship. As a licensed therapist, my goal is to empower couples to repair their relationship and resolve conflicts. If the relationship is unhealthy and damaging, I guide them through the process of exiting it. I am passionate about teaching couples the skills they need to thrive and providing them with learning objectives to practice between sessions.

In this journey with couples, I aim to shed light on the dark corners of their lives so they can discover their strengths, strategies, and solutions for managing and resolving issues. As a counsellor, my role is to empower couples to find their options and support them in making decisions that enable them to live their best lives.
