About us

Hi, I'm Renee Krstanoski, 

​

I'm a Level 4 Registered Counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and Clinical Counsellor with Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA), I am passionate about youth, family, and adolescent counselling. With many years experience in private practice and as a school counsellor, I have provided vital support to families, couples, and school communities, working with infants, primary, and high school students. 

As a mother of four, with three of them teenagers, I have personal understanding of the complexities of parenthood and can empathise as expectations and reality at times can be very different. I use an open dialogue approach involving family and significant others in the recovery process when helpful. 

​

Therapy Approach-  I use several therapeutic modalities and often use them in combination to support each client’s unique needs. These modalities include Open Dialogue, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT),  Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT),  Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Solutions Focused Therapy (SFT) and Psychodynamic therapy.

In couples therapy we use the Gottman Method to help couples improve communication, resolve conflicts, and build healthier partnerships through evidence-based methods.
