Ms Carolin Skipka

Philosophy & Vision

I am a holistic and trauma aware counsellor who enjoys working with women from all walks of life. I like to work collaboratively, based on where you are at and what you need when we meet. I offer a safe space, free from judgement, for you to explore any challenges you are facing, and to help you move towards more peace, well-being, and self-leadership. In my work I draw on humanistic, psychodynamic, and somatic approaches as needed based on your individual situation.

Quality Provision

I am a member of The Australian Counselling Association.
I participate in regular clinical individual and group supervision. I am passionate about ongoing professional learning and development as a therapist and my own ongoing therapy.

Therapy Approach

Apart from the different approaches that inform my work, my main intention is to create a safe and non judgmental space for you to be able to bring any challenge, difficult experience or pain that you are struggling with.

With gentleness and sensitivity I support you to feel safe to explore any issue at your own pace and in a way that you are comfortable with. While I bring my skills and experience to our sessions, I will be guided by you. You are the expert of your life and the one who knows best what decisions you want to make and the direction you want to take your life

Approaches that inform my work are Person Centered and Emotion Focused Therapy. I also draw on elements of mindfulness and awareness of the body-mind connection.
