Welcome to Suzy Marty Counselling
I am a clinically registered counsellor with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) specialising in trauma therapy. I am based in Leongatha, Victoria, in a peaceful, trauma-informed, inviting counselling space. I offer in person and on-line sessions.
I have over 10 years counselling experience in the community and private practice sectors.
I have a Masters in Counselling from Monash University and a Masters in Education from Melbourne University, as well as an undergraduate degree in human resources.
My approach
Most clients come to see me for EMDR, as it is an evidence-based trauma therapy for both PTSD and C-PTSD, co-morbid anxiety and depression, and other related symptoms.
I am an EMDR Accredited Practitioner with the EMDR Association of Australia (EMDRAA) which means I have met advanced requirements in delivering EMDR therapy. I seek to ensure my practice is as up to date as possible, and have recently attended further training in working with clients with Complex PTSD and Dissociation.
EMDR can also be a helpful tool in addressing phobias, panic attacks, flashbacks, nightmares, and anticipatory anxieties related to upcoming stressful events, and transitional periods. I have completed additional training in ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). I offer strength-based therapy where I work hard to offer an individual approach to each and every person I work with, no matter their age or stage of life.
