About

Mindful Counselling & Psychotherapy is a Canberra based Counselling Practice run by Jodie Crouch, Counsellor and Psychotherapist.

Mindful Counselling & Psychotherapy aims to ensure that every client feels safe, respected and understood.

We value and embrace diversity and welcome all individuals.

Inviting our thoughts and feelings into awareness allows us
to learn from them rather than be driven by them.

Welcome to Mindful Counselling & Psychotherapy.
