Humans Being Counselling

Humans Being Counselling Humans Being are a professional psychology and counselling service located in Malvern, Victoria. We are much more than your regular psychology clinic.

We strive to create a calming therapeutic environment, that begins as soon as you walk in the door and extends beyond the counselling room. We provide evidence-based sensory stimulus such as lush greenery, soft furnishings, calm music and warm herbal tea to aid calm but also to promote self compassion. A way to encourage clients to soften any discomfort through healthy coping strategies. A space that welcomes the client and diffuses the stigma. A space where the client immediately feels a sense of safety and calm. A trauma sensitive, welcoming space, with a relational focus that treats every client with acceptance, respect and compassion. A physical and emotional space to feel genuinely heard, understood and supported. A space to release and a space to grow. Through this space we aim to bring connection, not just connection to others but also to ourselves. Our mental health clinicians deeply care, they are authentic and love their profession. They pride themselves on practicing what they preach, reflecting on themselves, their clients and always striving for excellence in their evidence-based learning & practice. We welcome you. As you are. AUTHENTICITY | RESPECT | COMPASSION | GROWTH

We hear a lot about of myths about therapy, and they often stop people from getting support sooner.

Therapy doesn’t require a crisis.
Just curiosity, honesty, and a willingness to show up as you are.

Because being human is reason enough to reach out.

Last night we hosted a beautiful evening for our Humans Being clinicians quarterly social event, a sound bath meditation with music therapist Rodney Pollak.

In this profession, we give so much of ourselves every day, holding space for others, carrying stories, and guiding healing. It’s not as often that we take time to receive.

Watching everyone grounded, relaxed, and immersed in the soundscape was something really special. These moments remind me how vital it is for us, as helpers, to pause and nurture our own wellbeing too.

Grateful for our incredible team and the calm energy that filled the space last night.

A warm welcome to Maddy, our newest child psychologist to join Humans Being Counselling!
Maddy’s arrival marks a special milestone. She is our 10th clinician in just over 2.5 years!

The original vision of Humans Being was to create not only a place where clients feel safe, supported and understood, but also a workplace where clinicians genuinely enjoy coming to work. It’s been incredibly rewarding to see that vision come to life. We’re lucky to have such a passionate, supportive and values-driven team who consistently create a positive and collaborative environment. We’ve also built a team with zero turnover to date, which speaks volumes about the culture we’ve created together.

We’re so excited to have Maddy on board and to continue building a workplace and community that attracts incredible talent and allows both clients and clinicians to thrive.

Welcome, Maddy. We’re lucky to have you.

🌱 R U OK?

Today is about connection, with others and with ourselves.

So often we ask the question “Are you OK?” but forget to pause and ask it inwardly. Checking in with ourselves matters just as much as checking in with those around us.

But what does it actually mean to be “OK”?
For some, “OK” means getting through the day. For others, it means feeling steady, energised, or connected. Our baselines are different, and that’s important to remember.

Sometimes someone might say they’re “OK” when we can see they’re struggling. Sometimes we might think we’re “fine” when really we’re pushing ourselves beyond our limits. That is why expressing concern with care and curiosity, not judgment, is vital. Respecting each person’s experience helps us hold space without comparison.

And it is also okay to not be okay.
Struggle is part of being human. When we respond with compassion instead of criticism, whether towards ourselves or others, we create room for healing.

💛 Today and every day, take a moment to ask yourself:
• “How am I, really?”
• “What do I need right now?”

Then, extend that same kindness outward. Ask the people in your world if they are OK, and be ready to truly listen.

At Humans Being Counselling, we believe connection, respect and compassion are at the heart of mental wellbeing. You do not have to have the answers, just showing up matters. Take care of yourselves, and others.
