Cecilia Ma

Cecilia Ma is a highly regarded and qualified counsellor who has been in practice for more than 10 years. She is a full member of the EMDR Association of Australia as well as the AASW and has worked in a range of settings across her career.

Cecilia brings a wealth of knowledge, authenticity, and deep respect for her clients to her practice. Key to her practice is that Cecilia’s understands the complexity and intersection between psychological wellbeing, relationships, and trauma. She therefore provides a personalised approach in her work; appreciating that each person is unique and does not fit into any 'neat' diagnosed criteria. She is also committed to, and engages in, ongoing professional supervision and training to ensure she maintains and provides ethical, and current clinical knowledge and practice.

Cecilia tailors her approach according to the needs of each client. She draws primarily from the following modalities: Person-centred process-oriented approach, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness, and Recovery Oriented Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Cecilia prides herself in profoundly enriching and enhancing peoples’ lives and relationships, not only in their time of crisis, but also in the longer term once the immediate challenge that brings them to counselling has passed.
