Counselling in Perth CBD | Lindsay Street Clinic

What We Offer at Our Perth Clinic

Our Perth clinic brings together experienced counsellors with a range of specialisations, so you can find the right fit for your situation. We offer:

Individual counselling: One-on-one sessions for adults dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, life transitions, burnout or trauma. Our counsellors create a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore what’s going on and develop practical strategies to move forward.

Couples counselling: Structured support for couples navigating communication breakdowns, conflict, trust issues, infidelity or emotional disconnection. Sessions focus on understanding each other’s perspectives, rebuilding connection and developing healthier ways of relating.

Family counselling: Sessions that bring together parents and children or other family members to improve communication, resolve conflict at home and strengthen family relationships.

Trauma counselling: Evidence-based approaches for processing traumatic experiences and reducing their ongoing impact. Our trauma-trained counsellors use modalities suited to your needs, working at a pace that feels safe for you.

Teen and adolescent counselling: Support for young people dealing with anxiety, school pressures, family changes, identity, self-esteem or behavioural concerns. Our counsellors are experienced in working with teenagers and creating a space where they feel heard.

Grief and loss counselling: Compassionate support for people working through bereavement, relationship endings, job loss or other significant life changes.

Career and life coaching: Goal-focused sessions to help you navigate career transitions, build confidence, manage workplace stress or find greater direction and purpose.

ADHD coaching: Our clinical counsellor Anu Matara is a qualified ADHD coach who works with adults on executive function, focus, time management and the emotional side of living with ADHD.

Our therapists draw on a range of therapeutic models including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Narrative Therapy, Schema Therapy and person-centred approaches. Your counsellor will work with you to find the approach that best fits your needs. Therapy at Breathe Counselling is always collaborative — never one-size-fits-all.

What to Expect at Your First Session

If you’ve never been to counselling before, it’s natural to feel a little uncertain about what happens in that first appointment. Here’s what to expect when you visit our Perth clinic:

Booking – Browse our therapists’ profiles on this page and choose someone whose experience and approach resonate with you. Book online directly through their profile or call us on 0422 275 494.

Arrival – Our clinic is located at 15 Lindsay Street, Perth, just off Newcastle Street in the quiet end of Northbridge. We share a beautiful character cottage with Lumina Psychology. The setting is relaxed and private, far removed from the feel of a medical waiting room. You can meet with your counsellor in one of our consulting rooms or in the garden courtyard.

Your first session – Your counsellor will take time to understand what brought you in, your background and what you’d like to get out of therapy. There’s no pressure to share more than you’re comfortable with. The first session is about building trust, setting goals and deciding together how to move forward.

Ongoing sessions – Most clients attend weekly or fortnightly. Standard counselling sessions are 60 minutes. Longer 90-minute and 2-hour sessions are also available with some counsellors if you prefer more extended work.

You do not need a GP referral to see a counsellor at Breathe Counselling. You can self-refer and book directly.

Getting to Our Perth Clinic

Breathe Counselling Perth is located at 15 Lindsay Street, on the north side of the CBD just off Newcastle Street, in the quiet end of Northbridge.
