Individual Counselling Maitland
Compassionate Support for Your Wellbeing
At Soulful Support Counselling, we understand that life can feel overwhelming at times. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship difficulties, or simply feeling stuck, individual counselling offers a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts and emotions.
Located in the heart of Maitland, NSW, our counselling service provides personalised care to help you gain clarity, build resilience, and create meaningful change in your life.
Why Choose Individual Counselling
Many people seek counselling when they feel lost, burdened, or disconnected from themselves and others. Individual counselling is not just about “fixing problems”, it’s about giving yourself permission to pause, reflect, and grow.
Through one-on-one sessions, you are offered a confidential and compassionate environment where you can:
Talk openly without judgment.
Gain new insights into patterns of thinking and behaviour.
Learn practical tools to manage emotions and challenges.
Reconnect with your strengths and values.
Develop healthier ways of coping and relating to others.
Counselling is not about being told what to do. Instead, it’s a collaborative process where we work together at your pace, honouring your goals and lived experiences.
Issues We Commonly Support
At Soulful Support Counselling, we welcome individuals across different life stages – adolescents (10+), adults, and older adults. Some of the concerns we commonly support include:
Anxiety and stress – racing thoughts, overthinking, panic, and ongoing tension.
Trauma and adverse experiences – navigating the effects of past or recent trauma in a safe, grounded way.
Depression and low mood – loss of motivation, fatigue, and feelings of hopelessness.
Grief and loss – adjusting to the death of a loved one, separation, or life transitions.
Self-esteem and identity – struggles with confidence, self-worth, or sense of direction.
Relationship challenges – conflict, communication struggles, or difficulties maintaining boundaries.
Life transitions – starting a new job, parenthood, relocation, or other significant changes.
Stress management and burnout – especially for those juggling multiple responsibilities.
No matter the issue, you don’t have to go through it alone. Counselling provides the space and tools to help you move forward with greater ease and clarity.
Our Counselling Approach
At Soulful Support Counselling, we take a holistic and person-centred approach. This means we tailor sessions to suit your unique needs rather than applying a “one size fits all” model.
We draw upon a range of evidence-based frameworks including:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and develop practical coping strategies.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – to help you create space for difficult emotions while aligning your actions with your values.
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) – to deepen awareness of your emotional world and foster self-compassion.
Schema Therapy – to explore early patterns that may influence current challenges.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) – to gently connect with different parts of yourself in a healing way.
Mindfulness and meditation practices – to cultivate presence, calm, and resilience in daily life.
Our focus is on creating a warm, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to explore your inner world.
What to Expect in Counselling
If it’s your first time seeing a counsellor, you may feel uncertain about what to expect. Here’s a simple overview of the process:
Initial Session – Together we’ll talk about what has brought you to counselling and what you’d like to gain from it. This is a chance for us to get to know each other and establish a foundation of trust.
Ongoing Sessions – Sessions typically run for 60 minutes and are held weekly or fortnightly, depending on your needs. During these sessions, we explore your challenges, build coping tools, and reflect on your progress.
Confidential and Supportive Environment – Everything you share is treated with respect and confidentiality, creating a safe space for honest reflection.
Collaborative Process – Counselling is tailored to your goals. You are in control of the pace and direction of your journey.
Counselling is not always easy, sometimes it means facing difficult feelings, but it can also be deeply rewarding and transformative. Many clients report feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to themselves after beginning the process.
