Let Go of the Past, Step Into the Future.
My name is Keith Avedissian, and I provide counseling and psychotherapy in Forestville. With over 30 years of experience, I am here to support you.
On this site, you will find information about my clinic and the services I offer. Imagine how great you will feel when you take steps to get your health back on track!
It would be a privilege to work with you on your journey of self-discovery.
How do you cope when life feels overwhelming and managing your moods becomes difficult? Are you constantly stressed, facing challenges you wish you could discuss with someone who listens without judgment? Are past traumas still affecting your life?
As a counsellor and EMDR therapist, I can help you navigate these feelings. External factors like work issues, relationship difficulties, or a lack of direction may be triggering you.
Often, we dismiss uncomfortable feelings, thinking we can handle them alone. However, they can gradually wear us down, affecting our moods and interactions with others.
Counselling provides a safe space to explore your inner world and is an essential step toward better mental well-being. Now is the time to understand yourself better and transform negative feelings into positive actions.
In my practice, I utilize a combination of EMDR therapy and counselling to aid in the healing process of trauma memories, such as PTSD, along with various emotional conditions associated with it.
Managing interpersonal relationships relies on how well you connect with others. By recognizing and understanding self-limiting behaviors that may undermine your relationships, you will communicate more effectively, handle conflict better, and improve emotional intimacy.
Treatment focuses on understanding the causes and maintenance of your anxiety, depression, or fear, as well as strategies to overcome them.
It all starts with YOU…
I have been in practice since 1986. I practice as a counsellor and psychotherapist, incorporating the use of EMDR. I graduated with a Masters’ degree in counselling and psychotherapy as well as a graduate diploma in counselling from the Australian College of Applied Psychology. I have also trained to the master level in EMDR. I have also volunteered at Lifeline as a telephone crisis counsellor.
