Dorianne Oliver

Dorianne Oliver is a highly regarded professional counsellor with extensive experience in the field. She is a member of the Australian Counselling Association and supports adults, couples, and families with a wide range of presenting challenges. Dorianne seeks to foster a sense of empowerment by creating self-awareness and understanding for each client. 

Dorianne is passionate, committed, and believes in the power of the therapeutic relationship in providing a trusting space for clients to be open and honest about their struggles. Along with her insight and candid nature, Dorianne seeks to tie together the different threads of a person’s life, creating understanding and opportunities for change. Integral to self-awareness is the understanding that we are all influenced by our life experiences, relationships, and families. The attainment of a greater understanding of a person’s life and relationships creates space for insight and growth. Working within this process, and along with empathy and curiosity, she works with clients to meet their needs and goals.

To this end, Dorianne provides practical guidance, strategies, and techniques by using the following modalities: Mindfulness based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Gestalt Therapy and Internal Family Systems Therapy. Her therapeutic approach is customised to align with each individual’s uniqueness and differing needs. Dorianne believes that we all seek to live a good life, however, sometimes in life we may feel stuck and alone. Sessions with Dorianne provide an opportunity for growth, recovery, and self-actualisation.
