Sebastian Kitchen
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Reg. Certified Practising 32932
I want my clients to get the most out of therapy, so that, as soon as possible, they no longer need therapy. Foremost in how I work is the establishment of as much safety as is reasonably possible and a strong collaborative alliance. I bring my full being to meet clients where they are at and walk with them to where they want to be. I work with you to tap into and develop your own innate capacities for self-awareness, emotional regulation, and healing. Whether it is trauma, grief and loss, or relational, emotional or life purpose issues, I help you get to the root cause of your experience and connect to it in a powerful, transformative way.
The parable of teaching a person to fish can apply here. Together we will catch some fish and address the immediate problems, but ultimately you will be better at fishing yourself, so you will carry the gifts of therapy with you long after we stop working together.
I chose the path of psychotherapy because I wanted to address the root cause of suffering and find a way to be of meaningful service. It is a deeply transformative and fulfilling path. There is something about being with another in therapy that leaves me never quite the same as when I entered the session. As such, my work brings me life, just as I endeavour the same for my clients. If this is resonating with you, I encourage you to contact me for a free consultation call.

Rebekah Kittl
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA Level 1, ACC (ICF)
Something in you already knows, even if you haven't quite found the words for it yet. You're the one everyone leans on, the one who's always had it together, and you're very good at making sure nobody sees the parts that don't.
Managing and being ok aren't always the same thing.
Counselling starts with helping your nervous system settle, so your decisions come from your values, not just your stress.
Some of what you're carrying makes more sense once it's said out loud. I've spent years helping people get there, drawing on more than two decades in business and leadership before I trained as a counsellor, so I understand the kind of pressure you're under.
I founded KMentors Group, a coaching and counselling practice, to offer exactly this kind of work.
You don't need a crisis to justify reaching out. Send me a message, and we'll take it from there.
