counselling and psychotherapy located in melbourne’s inner-west

Welcome to Pro-social Counselling, a small consulting service run by me, Peter. As an accredited mental health social worker based in Yarraville, I provide counselling and psychotherapy to individuals. Social justice, anti-oppression and a holistic understanding of difficulties are core to my practice. As a Medicare provider, I can offer subsidised counselling and therapy via a mental health treatment plan arranged by your GP. Some private health insurance agents will cover some of the cost of mental health social work.

With over sixteen years of social work experience in various contexts, I provide Mentalizing Based Therapy-informed interventions for people with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Conversational Model-informed psycho-therapy for BPD and depression, brief-solutions focused therapy for various life issues, motivational interviewing to work with addiction and I have an existentialist orientation. As a queer person, I provide sensitive support for people with diverse sexualities and genders.
