Roberta Iavarone
Accredited Registered Counsellor
Helping adults to move through life's challenges so they can live their most meaningful life.
At The Listening Pod, I'm here to listen.
It is my highest aim to offer you a calm, safe, supportive space where you are seen & listened to and to do this sensitively, compassionately, and where appropriate, with warmth and humour.
"I hear you, I’m here for you, exactly as you are…"
HOLISTIC, INDIVIDUALISED, STRENGTHS BASED APPROACH
FOCUSED ON EQUIPPING CLIENTS & TO FOSTER EMPOWERMENT.
Roberta has extensive clinical experience & utilises evidenced based therapeutic modalities individually tailored to client needs including:
Person-Centred; Strengths Based; Solutions Focused, Attachment/Neuro-development; ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy); Mindfulness & Compassion Focused & EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing).
How can I help?
Many anecdotal studies have shown that it is the quality of the therapeutic relationship, not the type of therapy per se, which is the most influential vehicle for change and growth in therapy.
Roberta focuses on developing a therapeutic alliance where you feel safe to:
-
‘Explore your feelings and concerns and have those feelings & concerns listened to & validated;
-
Tap into your wisdom & gain greater clarity around what you need so you can move towards the things which matter to you most;
-
Grow more accepting of and embrace your ‘messy humanness’.
Special interests: Working with cross-cultural communities, Attachment & Neurodevelopment, Brain Plasticity, Post-Traumatic Growth & Polyvagal Theory
