Sylvie is a Clinical Counsellor registered with PACFA , based in Melbourne. Known for her compassionate, warm, and non-judgmental nature, Sylvie creates a space where clients feel safe, heard, and deeply respected. Her professional approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and a sincere commitment to supporting personal growth and healing.
Sylvie specialises in relationship counselling, guiding both individuals and couples through a broad spectrum of emotional challenges. She helps clients foster healthier, more compassionate, and fulfilling connections—not only with their loved ones but also with themselves. Whether clients are navigating the complexities of stress, anxiety, trauma, or interpersonal conflict, Sylvie supports them in developing the insight and tools necessary to restore balance and vitality to their lives.
A significant part of Sylvie’s work focuses on supporting first responders—individuals who often carry the hidden weight of cumulative trauma, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. Many of these clients engage in coping strategies such as avoidance, substance use, or self-harm, which may offer temporary relief but often lead to further distress. Others struggle with unexplained anger or emotional reactivity that strains their relationships and self-image. Sylvie helps clients make sense of these reactions with compassion and insight, offering them new ways to relate to their inner experiences.
In each session, Sylvie encourages mindful curiosity toward emotions, behaviours, and symptoms. She helps clients understand that these internal signals often hold important messages about unmet needs or unresolved pain. Through this process, clients develop greater emotional awareness, self-compassion, and the ability to make empowered choices.
