About Adele
I am a Counsellor and an accredited Gestalt Psychotherapist based at Mt Lawley Counselling Centre in Perth. For over 20 years, I've walked alongside people navigating life's challenges - whether it's finding peace amid anxiety, rebuilding after heartbreak, or rediscovering their sense of self. My work is rooted in a simple belief: change happens when people feel truly seen and understood, that's the foundation of my practice. I bring this belief to every session, creating a warm, non-judgmental space where you can explore, heal, and grow at your own pace.

I've worked in hospitals and community services for most of my life. Those experiences shaped my understanding of how deeply emotional and physical health intertwine. Over time, I've developed a particular focus on areas close to my heart: supporting couples, helping people through betrayal in relationships, guiding teens and young adults, separation, divorce, homesickness, workplace bullying, work-related stress, and the unique challenges of FIFO lifestyles. I also support clients experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and other personal challenges.

My Approach
I practice Gestalt Therapy, a mindful approach that helps you tune into your thoughts, feelings, and patterns in a way that feels natural and empowering. It's less about dissecting the past endlessly, and more about understanding how you move through the world today, so you can make choices that feel authentic and fulfilling. Whether we're working through a relationship or personal struggle, my goal is to help you feel heard, gain clarity, and find practical ways forward.

I've always been curious about people's stories, and my own experiences and love for travel has deepened that curiosity. Having explored many corners of the world, I bring a broad, open perspective to my work, connecting with clients from all walks of life. This helps me meet you where you are, with empathy and without judgment.

I've also shared my insights through articles on the Mt Lawley Counselling Centre website, exploring topics like:
