Maurite Fober

Maurite Fober is a masters degree qualified, registered clinical counsellor with many years of experience in the field. She is a member of the Psychotherapy and Counselling Association of Australia and works on its Leadership Group while being involved in other industry groups to advance counselling knowledge. Maurite is also a professional member of the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation and of the EAAPI. She works with clients of all ages across a wide range of presenting concerns.

Maurite is engaging and accepting, and clients report finding it easy to talk to her about anything because of this. She helps clients feel grounded and steady as they explore personal challenges, their emotional landscape, and relationship difficulties. Sometimes diving deeper into psychological issues like complex trauma is appropriate; sometimes simply finding better ways of navigating is what’s needed. Maurite is committed to working collaboratively with each client within their boundaries. She finds small, actionable steps tailored to each client that will help them generate this positive momentum.

Maurite’s foundations are person-centered and psychodynamic. She draws on various counselling techniques from experiential therapies such as mindfulness, emotion-focused, somatic, deep brain reorienting; to talk therapies such as narrative, cognitive behavioral, and solution-focused. She also employs techniques that make use of both experiential and talk therapies, such as gestalt, internal family systems, and dyadic developmental therapy. She believes in safety, kindness, and helping develop each person’s awareness of who they are and who they want to be so that they become equipped to unlock their own potential.
