Mental Health Counselling - Gold Coast
I offer attachment and trauma informed therapeutic approaches which support emotional regulation and nervous system deescalation.
When we are in stress or conflict our defence mechanisms are activated and we can feel at war with ourselves or each other. A safe therapeutic relationship can enable you to tap into resources that support and calm the nervous system and regulate fight/flight/freeze responses. Its important to note that in the past some of our most significant wound’s and trauma’s have also happened in relationship. Therefore within the safety of psychotherapy I offer understanding of the personal and interpersonal neurobiology of relationships. Meaning how to nurture a healthy relationship within ourselves and our relationships with others to assist us on our journey towards greater health, well being and wholeness.
I am a Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with a Medicare Provider Number. Accredited Mental Health Social Workers are able to provide ‘Focussed Psychological Strategies’ to eligible people with a diagnosed mental disorder (such as anxiety or depression) under the Better Access to Mental Health initiative. You can obtain a referral to see me from a Medical Practitioner (GP). My legal name is Deborah Isgrove for the referral and my nick name is Dana which I prefer to be called in everyday life.
