Emily Fishman
Psychotherapist
Emily is currently completing her Master of Counselling. Emily has worked in the health care sector for the past 15 years, predominantly as an Osteopath (at Healthpoint Clinic!). It didn’t take Emily long to experience the connections between people’s bodies, hearts and minds in the treatment room. As a way to deepen her understanding of this connection and further her capacity to help her patients, Emily undertook a two year course of study in Relational Gestalt Therapy in 2013 and began seeing counselling clients in 2015. In 2022 Emily stopped seeing Osteopathy clients to focus her efforts on her psychotherapy practice.
Emily’s therapeutic work is client centred, draws on various modalities and is shaped by the unique needs and desires of the individual she is sitting with. Modalities that influence Emily’s work include: Relational Gestalt therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Interpersonal Process and Internal Family Systems.
Emily acknowledges the immense possibilities that a strong relationship between therapist and client affords. In her work, Emily emphasises developing a safe space and therapeutic alliance for the client to explore their inner worlds and lived experience. It is through this exploration that Emily and her client can identify, together, the core concerns and begin to enable genuine change.
Emily is currently taking on new clients. If you would like to make an appointment please contact her on 0412939183 (SMS is fine) or through her website here and a short phone call with her can be arranged before making a booking.
