Hi, my name is Catherine Dodemont. I am a qualified counsellor with a Bachelor of Social Science and a Master of Counselling. I am a Level 4 member of the Australian Counselling Association, as well as a Registered Supervisor ACACOS and Registered FOCCUS Educator.
I am a Senior Clinical Counsellor and Accredited Supervisor based in Brisbane.
I have been practicing for over 18 years. I engage with compassion, respect and dignity at all times, without judgement. All sessions are entirely confidential.
I also provide Pre-Marriage Education, utilising the FOCCUS Inc. Inventory for couples who are to be married. These sessions are confidential and only the couple is involved.
The process of grief and loss can be painful, enduring and complicated. In certain circumstances it can also spill over into other areas of your life, compounding the challenge. Getting professional support during these times can greatly assist you process your feelings and move to a better place of understanding.
If you’re feeling sad for extended durations, or sense that you may be “depressed”, it’s very important you get professional help. Evidence clearly indicates that the right support can help you overcome your negative feelings; and without help, continuous negative thoughts and feelings can progress to more serious long term problems.
Challenges from time to time in our relationships are very common. If left unchecked, they can escalate to more complicated issues. I provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals or couples to discuss their challenges and develop a roadmap forward.
Low self esteem can be a consequence of numerous issues. I’ll help you re-contextualise your negative thoughts and self doubts; and work toward you feeling confident, valued and respectful of yourself.
Life transitions can be stressful and challenging. At times they can trigger emotions from past experiences that you thought were way behind you. It’s important that you acknowledge these feelings and process them, which is the main purpose of counselling.
Anxiety occurs as a consequence of not processing stressors in your life in a positive manner. Counselling can be very effective in assisting you to identify stressors and effectively process them. Whilst anxiety can feel very debilitating, once stressors have been identified and a plan set in place to process them in a healthy way, anxiety can quickly resolve.
Becoming a new parent is a significant life changing event. It can be an intense and emotional time in our lives. It can also affect how you feel about yourself and your relationship. New parent counselling can assist you to adapt to your new role, nurture yourself and stay connected to your partner.
