McMillan Psychotherapy & Counselling

Welcome to McMillan Psychotherapy & Counselling, located in East Geelong on Saint Albans Road. We are an establishment dedicated to providing high-quality mental health services for individuals seeking support and guidance.

At McMillan Psychotherapy, our main objective is to assist you in overcoming any challenges you may be facing and empower you to live a fulfilling life. Our approach to mental health is holistic, meaning we consider all aspects of your well-being, including your physical health, relationships, and lifestyle.

As your therapist, I am committed to creating a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. I understand that seeking therapy can be daunting, but I want to assure you that I am here to support you throughout the entire process.

Together, we will work to identify patterns in your thinking and behavior that may be hindering your progress. We will also explore various coping strategies and techniques to help you manage your emotions and navigate difficult situations.

Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or any other mental health issue, please know that you are not alone. McMillan Psychotherapy is here to help you overcome these challenges and guide you towards a more fulfilling life.

In order to accommodate your needs and preferences, we offer face-to-face sessions in a comfortable office space, as well as online sessions via Zoom or phone. This allows individuals in rural areas or small towns to access therapy without concerns about confidentiality or travel. You can even enjoy a session from the comfort of your own home with a cup of tea.

Depression is a common mental health condition that can significantly impact your quality of life. It involves more than just feeling sad and can manifest as sleep problems, changes in appetite, and feelings of guilt or apathy. Through therapy, we can help you address and manage these symptoms.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can occur after experiencing a traumatic event, leading to ongoing effects such as flashbacks, sleep disturbances, and anxiety. Our therapy sessions can assist you in processing and healing from these traumatic experiences.

By identifying the influences contributing to distress and anxiety, our psychotherapists can help you regain a sense of control over your life. Through open conversation and exploration, we aim to help you understand and address the root causes of these emotions.

Many of us struggle with personal insecurities and psychological issues that can erode our confidence. Through psychotherapy, we can work together to gain a fresh sense of self-assurance and belief in your abilities.

With over 15 years of experience, I am a qualified psychotherapist who graduated from Ballarat University with a Graduate Diploma of Psychotherapy & Counselling. I also hold a Masters of Social Work from Flinders University and a Diploma of Community Service (Financial Counselling). My diverse work experience includes roles in mental health, disabilities, school counseling, and financial counseling.

I utilize a variety of modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), to tailor our sessions to your individual needs and goals.

Thank you for considering McMillan Psychotherapy & Counselling for your mental health needs. I am excited to work with you and support you on your journey towards healing and personal growth. Please don't hesitate to reach out and schedule a session.
