 For a Therapist you can TRUST

Hi, my name is Deirdre Rolfe, I am a Clinical Counsellor, Psychotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist and author of the book "You Are as Sick as Your Secrets: Trauma Understands Trauma." I am a Clinical member of The Australian Hypnotherapy Association, with over 30 years of work experience with individuals, couples and groups working ONLINE, World Wide and in Private Practise in Daylesford, Victoria, Australia. I also live part time in Numbuuca Heads & Wagga Wagga.

"Turning trauma into Resilency" 

Trauma Understands Trauma

I work with Complex trauma, Narcissistic Abuse Recovery , Addictions,  Anxiety , Self Empowerment, Self Actualization, Weight Loss, Stop Smoking , Anxiety and stress.

CounsellorOnCall was born from my belief that everyone should have access to a therapist and have their needs met within 24 hrs . 

CounsellorOnCall is about addressing that urge to seek support at it's most crucial point. 

What makes me different from so many other therapists out there is the combination of my high level of training and diversified experiences in both West/East teachings, utilising evidence based theories with creative, holistic, exitential and mindful eastern symbols, metaphors and rituals. I also have a lived experence of chronic , layered childhood abuse which lead me to become a trauma informed therapist . I understand trauma and it is my passion, my life's purpose and honour to work with those who want to be, feel, live, well.

My work combines both Advanced Clinical Hypnosis, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (CBT), logotherapy, Part's Therapy , Jungian Metaphor , Somatic Body Tools , Breath Work , Havening , EMDR , Symbolism, rituals,  psychodrama and Modern Buddhist Principles to give you fast, effective, permanent, solution focused results with mind tools that you can use long after the therapy sessions ends. My goal is to empower you by observing your weaknesses but at the same time expanding on your strengths. This will give you the tools to get the results you need to effect change. 

I focus on the re-enacment, re-encoding , re-narrating of your stories so you are the HERO and where you can reclaim your power.

 I have worked with 1000's of clients and maintain a busy and highly successful practice based primarily on word of mouth... that speaks for itself.

In my 9 years of training in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, I obtained a 3 yr College degree in Social Counselling, A Bachelor (Equiv. level 1-5) of Therapeutic Counselling, A Master (Equiv. level 1-5) of Therapeutic Counselling (Thesis; Spiritual Psychotherapy in Bereavement Counselling).

I was trained in Clinical /Medical hypnosis by one of North America's most prominent Hypnotist Maurice Kershaw, and obtained a Master level training in Neuro Lingusitic programming by acclaimed Barabara ODonahue.(see below) 

Additionally it is a requirement in Montreal that all students obtain 20 hours per week throughout their entire training.With 9 years of study I did  over 8,000 praticum hours in ; Youth Proctection Service, Jewish Family services (working with holocaust survivors),The Jewish Hospital working with clients with Schizophrenia, Addington House Drug and Alcohol addiction rehab center, Dans La Rue; homelessness & prostitution , Community outreach in a socio-economically marginalised community and at the Pilgrim project; Death and dying .

Australian Counselling association Level 4

Australian Hypnotherapy Association

Clinical Member

Why be Registered:

Members of the Australian public are familiar with the term “registered”. Psychologists, doctors, psychiatrists and nurses are all registered professionals. When members of the public use any of these professions there is an inherent understanding that the services they are offered are by registered professionals.  For a hypnotherapist to practice as a registered NHRA hypnotherapist the public needs to know the hypnotherapist not only meets membership criteria but also meets other criteria to meet quality control, risk management issues and accountability. The AHA and/or NHRA meet these issues in the following ways:

Mandatory requirements of Professional Supervision and Ongoing Professional Development (OPD) address quality control issues. Quality control also includes mandatory requirements to have Professional and Public Liability Insurance as well as mandatory registration for an Australian Business Number (ABN) for individual practitioners. All of this is incorporated with a complaints commission to address accountability issues.  Risk management is addressed through training offered by the AHA and through articles in the quarterly Australian Hypnotherapy Journal

Each member of the AHA provides documentary evidence annually to meet these standards.   Every hypnotherapist who is registered with the AHA and/or NHRA has an individual personal file kept at the AHA’s National Head Office and on the national database showing documentary evidence that this member meets all necessary requirements. Each file is audited annually to ensure the registered hypnotherapist maintains all mandatory requirements. 

I have always felt what I do...is what I was meant to do.

Kindest regards
