Xenia is a PACFA registered counsellor who works with individuals experiencing unsatisfying or high conflict relationships; communication difficulties; people experiencing dissatisfaction or difficulties at work; major life changes; cultural identity; self worth and self esteem; depression and anxiety; grief and loss; and understanding addictive behaviours.
Xenia can work with you to better understand your communication patterns and roles in relationships; to understand and manage high conflict or unsatisfying relationships and to learn how to be fully present in relationships while maintaining healthy emotional boundaries. She can also help you explore your cultural identity and how this informs patterns of behaviour and how you view yourself within the context of your family and wider society. She uses varied approaches to help you learn practical ways to become ‘unstuck’, discover and meet your own needs, stand up for yourself and improve emotional flexibility.
Xenia is especially interested in helping you better understand who you are, what you stand for and what your heart really desires so you can live more fully and with greater connection and satisfaction.

Important Notice
There are some people that our counsellors can’t work with – not because we don’t want to, but because we want you to have the best possible care.
If you currently experience domestic violence, are having a mental health crisis, are experiencing severe substance dependency issues, or other acute crises, we can’t provide you with the level of support you deserve. However, we will use your initial appointment to connect you with places that specialise in these issues, so you can get the best possible care.
All Rough Patch counsellors manage their own scheduling and administration. Click on a profile below to read more and send an email enquiry. In the rare event you don’t hear from a counsellor within 24 hours, please call us on 02 7226 0809
All of our counsellors generously reduce their usual fees to provide affordable mental healthcare to our community. They do not receive government rebates or funding to provide their services.
