Welcome to Ghita Therapy
In today's world, social networks are shrinking. The number of people who report having no intimate friends is increasing. Simple eye contact, along with a caring "tell me your story," can go a long way toward diminishing someone's feelings of alienation and aloneness. Counselling provides the chance to talk things through, very often relieving emotional pressure, clearing the way for people to focus and decide what to do next. Just like you seek advice from a doctor for health issues, a counsellor can help to give you powerful tools for better decision making and improved mental and physical health.
Individual Counselling
You may tell yourself, "It's not that serious, I can handle it by myself." or "I'm fine. It's my partner who needs therapy!" However, 45% of Australians will experience a mental health issue at some point. We all need support in dealing with the challenges that appear in life. Never more so than since covid. 1 in 5 people have struggled in the last 12 months. So if you are struggling, want to make sense of a problem or feel dissatisfied with where you are, specialist counselling can help back on track. We even have the convenience of Online Counselling (Video and phone). You don't have to do everything yourself when effective support is available. And you will be so glad that you did...

An unexamined Life is not worth living." - Socates
In this modern age, it is easy to neglect self care like you are pouring from an empty cup. If you are constantly juggling work, kids, family, finances, and more, you’ll quickly end up burnt out – with less in your emotional cup. An empty cup means your ability to care for others will be non-existent when you don’t even have the time or energy to care for yourself. Sound familiar?
Everyday people turn to counselling and therapy when they need support, or are at a crossroads in their lives. Our lives have changed in sudden and surprising ways in the last few years. It is easy to feel like things are out of control and we’re powerless to control our own lives. But we’re not... Counsellors are here to help us navigate the bumpy roads.
So, now is your chance to fill you cup up, to prioritise yourself and “make” the time to sort through some things you have been putting off. To take control of your happiness and to be heard by someone who won't judge you, but instead will encourage you to create your best life. People who come to Ghita Therapy are often ready to change and grow, and just need a little guidance.

★★★★★ 5 Star Google Review: NLP 2025: 'Working with Ghita Andersen has been one of the most transformative and empowering experiences. This has helped me shift long-standing patterns and reconnect with a deep sense of clarity, confidence, and joy. Ghita used NLP therapy to help me identify and reframe deep-seated self-limiting beliefs that had been running in the background for years. The change has been profound—not only internally, but in how I show up in the world.
What’s been especially meaningful is how others have noticed the shift. Friends, colleagues, and even strangers have commented on how happy and light I seem. I couldn’t recommend Ghita more highly.' - Alisa - Palm Beach
★★★★★ Video Testimonial 2024: Time Line Therapy: Hello Ghita, I have to say that it has really assisted me in so many ways. It is / has been life changing and would love to share how you have assisted me in regaining my power! I can say with those small, but oh so effective tools of reframing has made changes in my body language when meeting with those in authority, so when I would have displayed a closed or defensive persona, I now display confidence, a smile and a surety of myself. I am so very grateful to you and what you have safely walked me through! I appreciate you. Regards, Kim

★★★★★ Testimonial via text 2024: PTSD Treatment with EDMR and NLP: Hi Ghita, I reflected on that memory that we worked on and it has definitely changed.

Anger is often associated with frustration – things don’t always happen the way we want and people don’t always behave the way we think they should. Anger is the by-product of yucky feelings deep beneath. Basically, we are triggered by an event and our internal voice (who hates not being in control) has a filter about the event or a negative (egocentric) phrase which gives us a rise (reaction).
Ghita Andersen Specialises Training in: Emotional Regulation | Anger Control | Trigger Deletion | Emotional Mastery
