Andy Travis
Meeting Point Counselling
Contact: 0415 734 744
Web: meetingpointcounselling.com
Email: meetyourpoint@gmail.com
Services: Andy's goal is to support you to connect with your authentic self and to live a meaningful, balanced life. You could get insight and help around: Addiction, depression, anxiety & stress, grief, mood disorder, mental health, sex, love & relationships, men's work - and other issues.
Andy started Meeting Point Counselling in 2016, has a Diploma of Counselling, an Advanced Diploma of Transpersonal Counselling and a Diploma of Holistic Integrated Creative Arts Therapy. He's studied/taught meditation for 36 years, practiced 12-step addiction recovery for 16 years and has 6 years experience as a men's group facilitator.
Unconditional positive regard is the foundation of the work he does as a counsellor. It underlies all other skills and therapy tools, and would be his starting point for working with you. Andy holds the belief that every one has within them a seed - their inherent drive to fulfil their ‘positive human potential’; and he believes the unconditional positive regard they experience from the therapy, waters that seed.
Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focussed Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy and Gestalt inform Andy's work as a transpersonal counsellor. ‘Transpersonal’ means transcending the ordinary sense of self, to enable you to access inner resources. Transpersonal processes you could be guided through include meditation; visualisation; and tapping into the wisdom of your embodied sensations (somatic techniques).
