Pittwater Counselling

Pittwater Counselling We offer a professional range of confidential counselling services in Pittwater, on the Northern Beaches of Sydney.

Established in 2007 Pittwater Counselling is a small group practice of highly experienced mental health clinicians. Lisa Fawkner established this practice and remains here, while the other clinicians have since moved on to different areas and practice. Lisa is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and a Medicare Provider with over 33 years of clinical experience in NSW Health teams as well as private practice and other roles, including currently working as a Liaison Tutor in the Faculty of Arts Design and Architecture, School of Social Sciences at UNSW. A referral for counselling under the Better Access program or Psychological Access Plus program requires a referral from a General Practitioner, and entitles the client to a rebate or a free service (Access Plus). Some health insurance providers also cover psychological services provided by AMHSW - BUPA, Teachers Health Fund, Uni Health Insurance, Nurses and Midwives Health Insurance. Referrals are also welcome from Psychiatrists, Pediatricians, parents and word of mouth. Lisa Fawkner BSW (Hons) AMHSW specializes in child, adolescent and family counselling and also has extensive experience working with adults in individual and family therapy. Lisa has extensive clinical experience working with depression, anxiety, loss and grief, trauma and abuse, eating disorders, personality disorder, psychosis, substance use, sexual diversity, LBGTQIA+, domestic violence, trauma and abuse and provides clinical supervision to social workers and allied health clinicians. Lisa works in a respectful, creative and relaxed manner that is evidence based and strength based in order to challenge and support clients to achieve the changes they desire.
