Thoughtful Connections
We are a Social Work and Counselling practice providing thoughtful therapeutic connections for individuals and groups, in person, via phone and online.
Achieving Therapeutic Change
As accredited Social Workers and counsellors, we play a crucial role in facilitating lasting therapeutic change.
More than just listeners, we are trained and highly skilled professionals helping you to cope with the challenging thoughts and feelings that come with change. We guide you to explore your psyche, to recognize your behavioral patterns and to discover new personal insights.
Using best-practice, evidence-based therapeutic approaches, we help you to understand your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, allowing you to forge a pathway to meaningful change. We build therapeutic relationships based on trust, empathy and understanding - all of which is essential for effective therapy.
Qualified, Experienced, Multicultural Professionals
We offer you the opportunity to understand yourself, to heal your inner world and to feel supported along your journey of discovery. At Thoughtful Connections, you will connect with professionally qualified, experienced, multicultural, grounded and therapeutic social workers who understand the complexity of the human condition.
Senior Practitioner Frederica values respect, diversity and inclusion - during sessions, you will experience a trusting, person-centred safe space where together you can explore your worries and concerns, and find your way to clarity, navigating your way safely through change.
Thoughtful Connections, Your Way
Thoughtful Connections delivers therapeutic counselling and social work, individual and group work for adults, families, adolescents and children. We also facilitate clinical supervision for social workers and professional supervision within the human services sector, and psychoeducational workshops.
Change is INEVITABLE.
Change is CONSTANT.
Sometimes change is easy to manage and a solution can be quickly found.
Other times, finding your way forwards is not so obvious.
Often valid reasons make navigating change very difficult - solid belief systems and behaviours we might be unaware of that maintain our old ways.
Reaching out for help can be overwhelming, scary or make you feel deep shame, or just simply lost.
