About Simonetta Counselling & Psychotherapy
Counselling & Psychotherapy to transform your life.
Maria Simonetta is a Sydney, Inner West Psychotherapist & couples Counsellor who helps singles and couples with relationship problems and personal growth and those struggling with issues of grief and loss, trauma, depression and anxiety, addictions, .
Therapy can help you transform the issues you are struggling with. Often issues are stuck in the body, mind and emotions and without an experienced facilitator they become lodged into the cells of the body.
There are many tools and techniques that can help gently release the pain that’s held in different parts of your body/mind / emotions. Finding the right fit for your unique needs is essential to your recovery.
I have a wealth of experience gained over 15 years working with people of different cultural and diverse backgrounds with a broad range of issues. I have developed and integrated a unique style that includes many approaches and experiences that honours the individual’s unique experience and process.
I use a variety of experiential and creative techniques that helps you express and symbolize your inner experience to gain a deeper understanding and transform your view of yourself and the world.
The effects of Trauma
Trauma can be developmental and/or incidental and it affects our three systems: body, mind and emotions.
Not feeling safe and not trusting are two major effects of trauma. Disconnection from our physical body is a survival mechanism that minimizes the impact of trauma on our senses. Long after the trauma is over the symptoms are left in our system and get triggered at the perceived threat. We react ‘as if’ the threat is happening now.
Learning to release or contain the effect of trauma from all your three systems is crucial to your health and wellbeing.
Our bodies are a huge source of information learning to read the sensations and signals will give you added clues to how to respond appropriately to situations.
