About
Welcome to Anthony Varenica Psychotherapy!
My counselling practice is centrally located in Ballarat’s CBD. My therapy room is a safe and confidential space where you can explore whatever is important to you. This may include trauma and its impact, addiction, mental health challenges, grief and loss, life stresses and relationship difficulties. Here at AVP you’ll meet Casper, my guide dog, who is a wonderful presence in the therapy space.
My approach
I am a trauma-informed psychotherapist and I will work holistically with your thoughts, emotions, beliefs, perceptions and bodily sensations, to bring understanding to your present challenges. I view therapy as more than just talk; it’s more like a dynamic process that will help you integrate past experiences, current difficulties and future goals in a way that makes sense to you.
My goal as a counsellor is to ultimately step aside so you find your authentic path in each moment of life. My approach is informed by Compassionate Inquiry (developed by Gabor Mate) along with other approaches such as Narrative Therapy, Existential Therapy, Gestalt Therapy and somatic (body-based) approaches.
I work with individuals, not couples, aged 18 and over. I welcome everyone, regardless of their place in the human experience of life.
