Counselling and Psychotherapy with Robin Gale-Baker

I offer short and medium term psychotherapy/counselling for most issues people face. I also specialize in assisting people and their families who are dealing with chronic health issues including sleep, fatigue and pain disorders. My practice is in Alphington, Melbourne.

Some of the issues I work with include:

• anxiety
• grief and loss
• feeling blocked or stuck
• self-esteem issues
• family of origin issues
• women’s issues
• chronic health issues

Life Issues

Life issues can affect anyone at anytime. The loss of someone close, the stress of work or family, the realisation that our life is not going in the direction we want, can all lead to a feeling that we are not coping and that something needs to change.

We may feel that we are in crisis or that we have specific problems in our work, family or relationship.

Many of us suffer these life issues, believing ‘that's just how life is’, or that the only choice we have is to endure pain and difficulty. In fact, most problems people face can be resolved or made substantially easier with the assistance of skilled counselling and psychotherapy.
