There are many reasons why an individual might decide to see a psychotherapist. There are no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ reasons; psychotherapy is an invitation to speak— not only about what worries and troubles us, but also about the things that matter. Casey Anderson takes a psychoanalytic approach to psychotherapy. This involves careful listening to understand the individuals inner life, particularly in the form of unconscious ideas and feelings. This way of working can be particularly helpful to work through unresolved feelings and to locate the hidden cause of symptoms; bringing relief from depression, anxiety, somatic disorders, and repetitive relationship issues.
Through her work in a range of diverse settings with children, adolescents, adults and couples, Casey’s experience has given her a deep understanding of what it means to be human, and formed her view that we are unique and complex beings with a desire for connection with self and others, even if this feels difficult. In a first meeting, we will have a chance to ask each other questions to determine if we are a good match and your suitability for short term supportive counselling or long term psychotherapy.
Casey is a clinical member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA). She holds a BA Social Science, Major in Counselling and Psychotherapy, and a Graduate Diploma of Psychotherapy.
