I am Xanthe Katsouras, I was born in Greece, arriving in Australia with my parents when I was 3.
I have a BA (Major in Psych); PGDip (Psych) & a Masters in Counselling & Psychotherapy. I have also undertaken training in EMDr (Level 1 & 2), Trauma, Somatic Psychotherapy, studied acting for a year, improvisation and have enjoyed discovering my own voice, through singing lessons and other practices.
I am a Counsellor & Psychotherapist, Clinical Registrant with PACFA # 27117, as well as being a registered provider with Medibank, HCF, AHM, & AHM, & ARHG. I also provide EAP services.
My experience in the addictions field, over the last 7years, (which includes sex, food, drugs, work, shopping and alcohol) helped me to see & understand my own & others compulsions of the mind. How traumatic experiences, avoidance and our desire to control emotions, often underpin our dependence on people, places and things, at the expense of being ourselves. We will go to great lengths to avoid that which is calling our attention.......first we get a whisper, then we get a pebble, then a brick.
If you are struggling in your relationships, going through a transition, and are ready or willing to change, you can reach me on the contact details below. I believe when we are struggling we are most often being invited into a truer expression of ourself, one that sometimes, we need a hand navigating.
My therapeutic approach is tailored to YOU bringing my understanding of the influence trauma, family and cultural systems play in the formation of our identity. My understanding of Self, is expressed & experienced as per Carl Jung's model - we are a weave of SOUL, mind, body, shadow and heart. When the different parts of ourselves are consciously in relationship with each other, there is more coherence, peace, we are able take responsibility for ourselves and can live a life of wellbeing beyond our previous imagining.
.
We are most definitely more than we THINK!!
The therapeutic space, is an opportunity to reflect, discover, know and move towards acceptance and love of all parts of yourself, through bringing that which is hidden into the light of day. Then, you can make real choices outside of the habitual and old patterns of the ego. Eventually allowing for a more fulfilling life, through prioritising your wellbeing, a radical choice.
Contrary to popular opinion, FULLfilment, is an inside job, for which there are no quick fixes.
Here’s a recent video I made to give you a sense of me.
