Looking for Counselling in Moonee Ponds (Melbourne)?
If you're looking for counselling in Moonee Ponds (Melbourne), I offer face-to-face counselling and psychotherapy for adolescents and adults experiencing a range of mental health concerns and life difficulties.
I'm Adham Hammoud, an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and Registered Counsellor with over 15 years' experience working in mental health. My approach is warm, collaborative and practical, with therapy tailored to your individual needs and goals.
Medicare rebates are available for eligible clients with a Mental Health Treatment Plan.
What Can Counselling Help With?
People seek counselling for many different reasons. You don't need to have a particular diagnosis or know exactly what you want to work on before starting therapy.
I work with adolescents and adults experiencing concerns including:
Anxiety and stress
Depression and low mood
Trauma and PTSD
ADHD, autism and other neurodivergence
Emotional regulation difficulties
Relationship and interpersonal difficulties
Self-esteem and identity concerns
Adjustment to life changes and stressful circumstances
My approach is integrative and may draw on therapies including CBT, ACT, DBT and EMDR, depending on your individual needs, preferences and goals.
My Approach to Therapy
I believe therapy works best when it is collaborative, respectful and tailored to the individual. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, we can work together to understand what is contributing to the difficulties you're experiencing and identify strategies that are meaningful and practical for you.
Depending on your needs, we might focus on understanding patterns, developing practical strategies, processing difficult experiences, building emotional regulation skills, or finding new ways of responding to thoughts and emotions. I draw on evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR).
My aim is to provide a space where you can explore difficult experiences at your own pace while also developing practical ways of managing challenges outside of therapy.
