What it helps with
Violence at home isn’t only hitting. It can be threats, put-downs, or control over money, phones and who you see.
- Fear and anxiety that follow you around
- Trauma after violence, recent or from years ago
- Feeling it’s somehow your fault
- Making sense of controlling behaviour
- Rebuilding confidence and trust in your own judgement
- Thinking through next steps, with other services when you need them
How Phil works
Nothing happens faster than you want it to.
The free 10-minute call can be by phone at a time when you are alone. Tell Phil the safest way and time to reach you, and whether it’s safe to leave a message.
Sessions focus on you: what you’ve been through, how it affects you now, and what you want next. Phil draws on trauma-informed practice and dialectical behaviour therapy skills for the moments that feel overwhelming.
If you want help with safety planning, housing or legal steps, Phil can help you reach the services that do that work.
Questions people ask
Do I have to leave to get counselling?
No. Counselling is about you, wherever things are up to. You decide what you want to work on.
Can I call instead of coming in?
Yes. Sessions can be by phone or video. Choose a time and a device that nobody else checks.
Is what I say kept private?
Yes, within the limits of the law. If someone’s safety is at serious risk, Phil may have to act on it. He explains this at your first session.
Can I use bulk billing?
Yes, for individual sessions. With a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, sessions are bulk billed through Medicare at $89.50. Without a plan, a 55-minute session is $230.
What if I need help right now?
CEABA is not a crisis service. If you are in danger, call 000. For support at any hour, call Lifeline on 13 11 14. More support lines
