Rose Vala Counselling and Psychotherapy

As a social worker, I bring the understanding that how we feel and respond in our lives is not only affected by our individual makeup, but also by the social environment we live and work in. This core aspect of social work practice works towards the empowerment and liberation of people to enhance well-being.

I have wide experience working with many different issues such as grief and loss, depression, anxiety, phobias, divorce/separation, relationship issues, couple counselling, past and recent trauma, bullying and harassment, and organisational change.

My main specialty is working with adult survivors of child sexual abuse, physical and psychological abuse and long term trauma. These traumatic experiences in childhood can effect a person's sense of self, how they feel about themselves, how they manage strong feelings and take care of themselves, and how they relate to others.

I offer short term counselling, and longer term psychotherapy working on a deeper level.
