Claudia Gibson

Claudia Gibson is an experienced psychologist in developing people’s potential to manage life stressors, dealing with clinical mental health issues, or managing conflict and relationship difficulties. She also has a strong commitment to the community enabling people to reach their personal potential despite previous trauma, chronic illness, long term life stressors and unemployment. Her approach focuses on people’s ability to manage and control their own reality. Generally, people present with a problem situation or a life stressor. Through counselling, people can gain some further awareness of themselves in their life situation, broadening their personal perspective. From there, people can make some meaningful choices to address or not address their issue. This approach leaves the people in control of their own lives and respects their wishes to act or not act. With this ‘here and now’ approach, outcomes are achieved and strategies that are realistic and   meaningful emerge through the counselling.
