Lena Lundell – Clinical Social Worker & Counselling Therapist Hello, my name is Lena Lundell and I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work and a Masters in Counselling.  I have joined the fabulous team at Stonewall Medical Centre as a Counsellor.   I have always felt strongly that mental health is just as important as any other health issue, I am passionate about supporting people at any time throughout their lives, to maintain good mental health. My past counselling experience extends across a range of professional organisations specialising in different areas. This has provided me with extensive knowledge and expertise in psychological interventions for people. The concerns that people who identify as GLBTIQ+ bring to counselling are often universal and not necessarily related to their personal sexual orientation or gender. People from diverse communities, including those from the GLBTIQ+ community, can be vulnerable to unique stressors.  Everyone deserves a safe and respectful therapeutic space.

I provide a professional and a supportive approach to people who require assistance with the following:

•          Anxiety                                                                                                                               
•          Depression
•          Bullying
•          Discrimination                                                                                                                       
•          Trauma (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and/or complex PTSD)                                                                                                                       
•          Grief and loss                                                                                                                 
•          Relationship issues                                                                                                                
•          Addictions                                                                                                                              
•          Suicidal thoughts or feelings

Through counselling I support you to experience life in a different way, one that brings you meaning and fulfilment. One of my strengths is my authenticity, and this drives the connection and trust that underpins my work with people. Some of the outcomes that you can experience are:

•          Feeling supported                                                                                                                  
•          Being validated                                                                                                                           
•          Increased resilience                                                                                                                         
•          New perspectives                                                                                                                 
•          Mindfulness

Other services that I provide are supervision for health professionals and students, consultations, training and court reports. I am a member of the Australian Association of Social Work and I am highly committed to professional development.

I accept referrals for counselling under the Australian Government Better Access to Mental Health Care Scheme.  Individuals may also refer themselves to me directly.
