Sydney Buddhist Psychotherapy & Mindfulness Counselling

Mindfulness practices can enhance our everyday life and help our psychological well being. Mindfulness generally involves a heightened awareness of every part of the moment; noticing our breath, our thoughts, and all of the internal sensations and chatter. Mindfulness is the act of teaching of yourself to Be in the Now.

Mindfulness is especially useful with resolving feelings of anxiety, stress, distraction or concentration difficulties.

As our resident expert in Buddhist Psychotherapy, Anne Reilly is here to help get your mindfulness practice fine tuned. Just notice where it takes you.

Holistic Counselling with Meditation, Mindfulness, & Strengths Based Approaches

  • Focus on Flourishing | Counselling from a Wellness Model

    Spiritual psychology works from a wellness model similar to that of elite athletes. The goal is to unfold your highest potential and your most joyous life.

    Everybody is on their own journey and is already working with tools that perform this function. We may tap into these, or teach you new ones that will help you turn up your ability to visualize and meditate. We want to help you create the world and relationships you want.

  • Relationship Counselling from a Buddhist Psychotherapist

    Working with a Buddhist therapist as a Relationship Counsellor can be a game changer. Working with a Buddhist Relationship Counsellor you will each learn tools to enhance communication and develop relationship skills while also keeping individual needs met.

    Time spent honestly examining hidden motivations leads to more intimate bonding with partners. Couples counselling from a Buddhist perspective can help your family live a calmer and kinder life.

  • Practicing Radical Self Acceptance

    We may feel stuck in situations we feel are unchangeable. We may be feeling ‘othered’ and be experiencing rejection; rejection about our sexuality, the color of our skin, our gender identity, or any non-typical way we present or behave.

    We will teach you how to build compassion, kindness and loving that is also tempered with responsibility, self acceptance and healing. We know this sounds like a lot. We’re going to help you unravel it, make sense of it, own it in a different way, and flip your narrative to something that works.

Work with a Buddhist Psychotherapist

We work from a strengths based approach, first and foremost helping you to feel supported, stable and safe.

Working together we identify and change underlying thoughts and patterns that contribute to unhappiness. Teaching you strategies to decrease distress, discomfort and stuck-ness, we’ll work to eliminate or lessen fear and suffering.

Work with a Mindfulness Counsellor

We know psychotherapy can be hard and change is difficult. We are always working together, restoring a sense of peace and stability.

It’s important you know you are always in control of the process. We are quietly beside you, teaching you skills to stay grounded, focused, and secure. We want you to know you totally got this.
