EXISTENTIAL PRACTICE
With 12 years of experience as a psychotherapist, I, Christian Acuña, have come to deeply value the strength and wisdom of my clients. Our journey together is one of exploring the potential for healing the deep-seated wounds inflicted by life’s trials, and probing the prospects for a life marked by health and fulfillment. My practice is grounded in a holistic approach, acknowledging the intricate interplay between body and mind, employing both the conversational model and narrative therapy to facilitate this process.
My practice is dedicated to individual therapy, utilising an integrative method that combines the conversational model with existential and narrative therapies. This approach is designed to empower my clients, allowing them to steer the course of their therapy based on the issues they find most pressing and necessary to address. As a facilitator for change, my role hinges on the power of active listening, empathetic hearing, and unwavering respect for each client’s journey.
In guiding clients through the complex weave of their physical, spiritual, social, and personal realms, I offer dedicated support and insight that sets them on a path toward profound self-understanding and transformative growth. This comprehensive exploration not only illuminates the challenges at hand but also equips clients with the tools necessary for personal transformation. The result is a life replete with greater joy, purpose, and the reclamation of possibilities once deemed out of reach, all within a space that prioritises the client’s safety and well-being.
BOOKING A CONSULTATION
The success of therapy is built on the strength of the relationship between the therapist and the client. Our pricing aligns with the guidelines of psychotherapy professional bodies, ensuring fairness and transparency. For services such as Court Reports, we follow a structured process involving a minimum number of sessions and multiple drafts to meet legal requirements, with costs reflective of the intensive nature of such work.
At our practice, we deeply respect the courage it takes to seek support and are wholeheartedly committed to easing your path towards self-discovery and healing. We have chosen not to participate in Medicare or Mental Health Care Plans (MHCP), as these often limit coverage to specific therapies like CBT. Instead, we embrace a rich tapestry of therapeutic modalities to ensure treatment is highly personalised and aligned with your unique journey. Trust and comfort with your counsellor are cornerstones of our ethos, fundamental for authentic healing and personal evolution. For more information, please feel free to email or call us directly.
