Simona Graham
I am committed to helping young adults and teenagers through “one on one” therapy sessions because I know that everyone experiences tough times. Inside these frames, I stand with the belief that we are creative, content, and attained beings, and difficulties at an early age can affect the basics of our inner and outer interactions.
My experience and education are focused on healing through therapy and I believe that social and family and community support is vital for our wellbeing and healing.
I use an eclectic approach integrating different therapeutic modalities: Psychodynamic therapy, Solutions Focussed Therapy, Compassion Focussed Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Focussing, Tapping, and Gestalt.
Our Values
Respect
We understand that everyone has different needs and we respect our clients’ uniqueness and individuality. We help you to develop solutions and responses that are acceptable and meaningful to you.
Compassion
We endeavor to provide the compassionate care that we would all want for ourselves and our families.
Connection
We stay connected with our team, our clients and the broader community. We value our relationships and know that trust is important to develop and maintain these.
In an environment that is safe and confidential, I focus on working sensitively with young couples and young individuals, regardless of sex, gender orientation, religious or cultural heritage. Whatever therapist you choose, the most crucial determinant for the success of the therapy is the therapeutic relationship between you and the therapist.
I explore your values, identify your commitments and the aspects of your life that are important to you, and peel back the numerous life stressors that might keep you from not living the life you want.
Each relationship in our lives has the power to transform us, including the one with me. I know change is sometimes difficult, but I also know that people can do it because I am lucky to see people make amazing life changes every day
My main aim is to help you feel understood in your relationships and within yourself.
Take the first step towards building the kind of life that you really value.
This isn't just about today. It's about the rest of your life.
