Fremantle Counselling Service
Fremantle Counselling Service
is the practice of Fergus Matthews B.A., MAASW, a qualified Social Worker and professionally accredited counsellor. The practice offers counselling for individuals, couples and families. Fergus has been counselling for over 25 years and has extensive postgraduate training in the various forms of family therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy and other counselling techniques.
Qualified And Responsive
Fergus has specialist skills in working with individuals, couples and families in a wide range of issues. These issues can be as diverse as working with an individual with depression and anxiety, to working with a couple to get over an affair. Or it can be working with a family to deal with issues or trauma, illness, loss and grief, to an individual struggling with a crisis at work.
He works predominantly within a 'systems' framework, but varies this with a number of complementary clinical approaches. His practice reflects the reality that many people don't come to counselling for long periods of time, so he works in a way to attempt to achieve outcomes as soon as possible. His work always includes very 'concrete' strategies on how to manage the various issues better.
