Suicidal Thoughts therapists in Mount Pleasant, Western Australia WA, Australia AU

Therapists explore with the client the intense pain of loneliness, isolation and overwhelming experiences that lead to suicidal thoughts and impulses. They help clients to develop a prevention plan, identify triggers, develop more effective coping and identify automatic negative thoughts that lead to a sense of helplessness and powerlessness. The aim of therapy is to break the cycle of negative states through effective change and soothing strategies and to encourage clients' help-seeking behaviours  

I have completed Applied Suicide Intervention Training and Gateway. Sometimes life is so hard, the pain is unbearable that the thought of leaving it all behind seems like the best option. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and when you are at your darkest point you are halfway through.  

I have been counselling for over 20 years building on my experience as a Registered Nurse and Social Worker. I have worked with people with a broad range of life situations including chronic health and mental health conditions and disabilities - physical, sensory and intellectual.  

Suicidality stems from repressed shame and guilt. Again, this false self-concept has it's roots back to rejection and abuse and will need to be healed in order that suicidal thinking be alleviated from consciousness.  

I work to provide support for clients experiencing suicidal thoughts.
