Narrative Therapy Connections Sydney is an independent practice offering counselling and supervision online with Loretta Pederson . Training is available in person or online.

Loretta is registered as a clinical member and accredited supervisor with Psychotherapists and Counsellors Association of Australia (PACFA), meeting annual requirements for clinical supervision and professional development.

Counselling

Counselling is available for adults.

Counselling is used to address a range of issues, such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress and workplace concerns. Although the journey is different for each person, counselling can be a relatively short-term process, of 6-12 sessions. Longer term counselling is available for people wanting to address issues such as the effects of abuse, which have significantly impacted their life or sense of identity.

Supervision

Supervision is available for practitioners working in counselling. Supervision can take place over Skype/Zoom.

Loretta Pederson meets the requirements to supervise members of PACFA and ACA.

Training

Workshops in counselling practice and supervision are available – email Loretta for more details. In-house training throughout Australia and overseas is available to suit the needs of organisations.
