How Celia Dunsmore Can Help
Celia Dunsmore offers evidence-based counselling in Melbourne for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, and personal growth challenges. Sessions are available in-person at Brunswick and Coburg, or via telehealth across Australia.
- Anxiety — Celia Dunsmore provides evidence-based anxiety counselling using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — approaches endorsed by the Australian Psychological Society and Beyond Blue as first-line treatments for generalised anxiety, panic disorder, and social anxiety.
- Depression — Celia Dunsmore offers counselling for depression — including persistent low mood, loss of interest, and fatigue — drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and compassion-focused approaches aligned with Beyond Blue clinical practice guidelines.
- Trauma & EMDR — EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a frontline treatment for trauma and PTSD. Celia Dunsmore delivers structured, evidence-based trauma care for adults who have experienced distressing or traumatic events.
- Relationship Support — Celia Dunsmore provides individual relationship counselling grounded in Attachment Theory — an evidence-based framework developed by John Bowlby examining how early relational experiences shape adult connection patterns, communication, and intimacy.
- Grief and Loss — Grief is a natural but often isolating response to loss, including bereavement, relationship breakdown, and major life changes. Celia Dunsmore provides grief counselling using person-centred and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) approaches in a safe, non-judgemental environment.
- Personal Growth & Self-Esteem — Celia Dunsmore supports personal growth and self-esteem using Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — evidence-based modalities shown to significantly improve quality of life and psychological flexibility.
