Counselling
As a certified Counselling practitioner, Emanuel’s practise specialises in 4 Key areas: Relationships/Couples Counselling, Trauma-informed and Trauma-based Counselling, Anger Management and Anxiety.
With Emanuel, his private, confidential and supportive sessions are provided so that the clients’ counselling requirements, context, nuances and goals can be met in the most effective and immediate way. He strives to not only inspire his clients with their own unique insights but equip them with new and/or better coping strategies and adaptive techniques. These newfound and validated insights, strategies and techniques are evidence-based, best-practise and highly effective tools to heal and empower.
The ‘person-centred’ therapeutic framework of Emanuel’s counselling involves the key modalities of CBT, Narrative Therapy and Gestalt. From time to time, he may integrate other modalities as the situation calls for.
Most sessions are conveniently offered via Zoom, MS Teams and Google Meet. In-person sessions can be organised, on request, at Emanuel’s Sydney Clinic rooms in Leichhardt.
Pricing is disclosed in discussion with Emanuel; however, rest assured that he endeavours to be accessible to as many people as possible with his fee schedule.
