the Inside
Professional counselling services to help you navigate life's challenges and discover your path to wellbeing.
Welcome to Inner Ground Counselling
I’m Kobita, an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with 30 years of experience working with adults and young people who are facing mental health challenges.
I prioritise creating a safe, non-judgmental space where I will actively listen to you and be guided by your goals. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, intense emotions, relationship difficulties or other stressful life circumstances, my aim is to provide you with skills to help you to feel more in control and to support you in reconnecting compassionately with yourself.
My approach centres on fostering a therapeutic relationship, underpinned by the belief that you are the expert on you. We will work together to develop an understanding of what has led you to seek support and explore ways to move forward, guided by your values, resulting in greater clarity and wellbeing.
As a trauma informed clinician, I can help you to recognise and understand how adverse life experiences may have impacted you. I will support you to learn effective coping strategies, establishing a stable foundation from within.
As a social worker I apply a broad lens to my work, understanding that life is complex. We live in a world where our socio economic status, race, culture, faith, gender identity, sexual orientation, relationships, health, workplace, lifestyle and other factors have a significant impact on our reality.
I can support you to navigate these dynamics and provide information and referrals to help reduce your stress.
We respectfully acknowledge the Bunurong People of the Kulin Nation as Traditional Owners and Custodians of this land and recognise their ongoing connection to land, waters and community.
