Talking Heads Counselling has a strong focus on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy, which can be particularly beneficial when working with children, adolescents and young adults. Joanna has a genuine interest to get to know her clients individually and, most importantly, has the desire to create a positive, supportive and confidential* counselling service in the Adelaide Hills! With a child's knowledge and consent, parents/guardians can be informed of discussions relating to their child's therapeutic experience. 
 
At Talking Heads Counselling you can take the lead. Do you want to sit in our cosy counselling room? Or would you rather take a walk outside? How would you feel about Collin and Phil the friendly dachshunds joining us (ages 12+)? In-school and tele-health counselling appointments are also available if you are unable to attend the Stirling office.
