Ms Rosie Burgess

Counselor

An experienced couples and individual therapist, specialising in relationship issues, feelings of anxiety, depression, grief, parenting, and life transitions.

About Me

I am a counsellor in Bentleigh East, Victoria. I help people manage anxiety, mood disorders, parenting challenges and relationship issues. I use ACT, individual therapy and relationship counseling to build practical coping skills.

Approach

When people bring worries about connections, mood or parenting I help them notice patterns and try small changes that fit their life. In sessions in Bentleigh East, around Melbourne or via secure online video in English, we move at a practical pace—short reflective work, behavioural experiments and ACT-based exercises to build steady coping skills. Between sessions I encourage brief, doable experiments and simple tracking so insight becomes habit. This way of working suits couples, families and individuals ready for practical, collaborative change.
