Mary Ackerman, MCoun, BASS (Cllg), ACA, BACP (UK) Registered Counsellor is a relationship counsellor and individual psychotherapist who, through CARE Counselling Melbourne, works to help individuals and couples build resilience, develop understanding of themselves and their intimate others, create compassion and expand their self awareness and acceptance in a Caring, Accepting, Respectful and Empathic therapeutic environment.

Mary is especially experienced owing to her own international perspective to work with individuals and couples of different nationalities and ethnicities, those who might be experiencing challenges and difficulties given ‘difference’ in culture, social norms, perhaps religious expectations within their daily lives, at home and at work.

Together we can explore the challenges of the natural life course: family issues and transitions (new relationships, fertility, relationship breakdowns, divorce, co-parenting, intimacy & connection mismatches, etc.), personal growth and development, grief, depression, anxiety, life transitions (coming out, coupling up, decoupling, parenthood, exploring identity or sexuality), bereavement, job stress, unemployment, etc.

Get in touch if you are currently troubled by anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, a feeling of being ‘not quite right’ or experiencing stress at work or with partners or family members. Often just having someone with whom to share these day-to-day issues can make all the difference. Learning new communication skills, understanding yourself and others better; taking some time to focus on your self, your own development and growth – get in touch today, and let’s start working together to make that difference! I look forward to hearing from you.
