 Obsidian is a volcanic glass born of fire, which has strength and resilience, that is reflective of my client's own stories. Obsidian's other properties include Protection, Grounding, Clarification, Growth, Acceptance, and Healing.


All these properties of Obsidian I feel reflect my client’s journey through the counselling process, from distress to using their own strength and resilience to transform. 


Hi, I'm Carolyn (she/her), a Certified Practicing Counsellor , owner and founder of Obsidian Counselling MHW. Why choose me to support your mental health well-being? 


I recognise that you are an individual with your own concerns, unique to you that may be impacting on your mental health. No one else shares your exact same story or experiences, they are yours. 


I also know that you are more than just your mental health 'symptoms or diagnosis' and support you from an holistic, person-centred, biopsychosocial perspective, and not just the 'medical model' of mental health.  

 

As an integrative Counsellor, I don't believe in a one size fits all therapy model and tailor my counselling style to suit you and your individual circumstances. This includes looking at the biological, psychological, social and lifestyle factors that may be impacting on your mental health. 


At Obsidian my focus areas of mental health are anxiety; stress; grief after suicide; life transitions; with a passion for enhancing the mental health of the LGBTQ+ communities through an informed counselling approach. 


Research indicates that the best outcome for mental health well-being is speaking with a Counsellor sooner rather than later and I don't believe in waiting lists.


ALL NEW CLIENT'S CAN BE SEEN WITHIN 7 DAYS of INITIAL CONTACT!!!

Welcome to Obsidian Counselling

~ LGBTQ+ Informed Counselling ~

The aim of Obsidian Counselling is to break down the barriers to accessing inclusive mental health care for our LGBTQ+ Communities.

The aim of Obsidian Counselling is to break down the barriers to accessing inclusive mental health care for our LGBTQ+ Communities.


I recognise that LGBTQ+ individuals don't have mental health concerns because they are Diverse Gender, Sexuality or Bodies but because of wider societies heteronormative and cisnormative attitudes.

I won't medicalise your concerns or over focus on your Diverse Gender and or Sexual Orientation, if that is not your 

main presenting concern.  


 Unique concerns that may impact on the mental health of LGBTQ+ individuals include but not limited to:

 

  • Questioning and or Exploring your sexual-orientation and or gender, including later in life - 
  • Self-Identity...Who Am I? 
  • Concealing your authentic sexual-orientation from Self or others
  • Internal Conflict and Internalised Negativity
  • Minority Stress
  • Major Life Change including: Disclosing ('Coming-Out') your sexual-orientation or gender later in life 
  • Trans & Gender Diverse psychosocial support


Carolyn is a Trans, Non-Binary & Gender Diverse Allied and Informed Counsellor, Bi and Pansexual Allied and Informed Counsellor. She is also more than 'gay friendly' with personal & lived experienced as a cis queer member of our LGBTQ+ Communities. 


 "The thing I love most about my role as a Counsellor, is supporting my clients explore & embrace who they are authentically. 

It warms my heart watching my clients faces light up and shoulders relax when I use their name or pronouns, when they realise they are supported and accepted non-judgementally for who they are." Carolyn

When searching for a counsellor to support your mental health, 

there are few things to look for: 

  • Connection between You and your Counsellor
  • Someone who knows You are the expert of your life
  • Someone who looks beyond Your 'symptoms or diagnosis' 
  • Someone who listens to hear and understand You
  • Someone whose focus is You
  • Someone who will 'hold spa

When searching for a counsellor to support your mental health, 

there are few things to look for: 

  • Connection between You and your Counsellor
  • Someone who knows You are the expert of your life
  • Someone who looks beyond Your 'symptoms or diagnosis' 
  • Someone who listens to hear and understand You
  • Someone whose focus is You
  • Someone who will 'hold space' for you to vulnerable 
  • Qualifications in psychology and counselling 
  • A Counsellor with registration to a professional organisation 


 Finding the right mental health support is an investment of time, money, and in yourself, without the things listed above, and you being an active participant, the benefits to you may be minimal.


At Obsidian I work with you from an holistic, person centred, strengths based and future focussed, not problem focussed, perspective to assist you to achieve your goals and preferred future.


Whilst your past and childhood experiences are important, my focus for counselling is working in the 'here and now' 

to understand what may be impacting on your mental health.
