Counselling | Psychotherapy

Eryn Long


When work involves responsibility, visibility and significant consequences, it can be difficult to separate the demands of the role from the person behind it. There may be an expectation to remain composed, make sound decisions, manage competing demands and continue performing, even during difficult periods. Over time, this can affect how a we think, sleep, relate to others, make decisions and experience life outside work.

Eryn provides an opportunity to step back from the demands of the role, speak openly about the issues being faced and consider difficult matters with greater perspective, away from the pressures and expectations of the job.

COUNSELLING | PSYCHOTHERAPY

Eryn’s practice is particularly suited to individuals working in roles involving responsibility, accountability, leadership, public visibility or complex professional environments. This includes politicians and elected representatives, senior public servants and government professionals, executives and senior leaders, healthcare professionals, veterinarians and veterinary professionals, first responders and emergency personnel, defence personnel and veterans, and others working in high-accountability or public-facing roles.

She works with adults experiencing a range of personal and psychological concerns, including stress and overwhelm, burnout and emotional fatigue, anxiety and overthinking, grief and loss, work-related pressure, decision fatigue, career and life transitions, uncertainty, identity and self-understanding, and questions of values, direction and purpose.

Her approach is grounded, collaborative and evidence-informed. Sessions are tailored to the individual, taking into account their circumstances, goals, experiences and perspective. Depending on what is relevant, counselling may involve examining patterns, clarifying priorities and values, considering different perspectives, or developing practical ways of responding to current challenges.

ABOUT

Eryn was drawn to counselling and psychotherapy through a longstanding interest in people, human behaviour and the different ways individuals understand and experience their lives. She is particularly interested in the factors that influence how people see themselves, interpret their circumstances and respond to the situations they encounter.

Her work is grounded, collaborative and evidence-informed. She takes an individual approach, recognising that each person brings their own experiences, values, circumstances and perspective. She considers what is relevant to the individual and the particular issues they wish to explore.

Her practice provides a professional and discreet environment where conversations can take place openly, without judgement and with respect for privacy. Eryn is committed to ethical practice, maintaining confidentiality and offering a considered service that is attentive to each person’s circumstances.
