About Celine
Celine McMahon is a PACFA counsellor with 15 years' experience working in Australia. She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress and low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with life changes and ADHD-related challenges.
Her work is trauma-informed and relies on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She looks beyond symptoms to identify patterns that keep people stuck. Sessions focus on practical strategies and on building emotional awareness.
Celine uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, mindfulness-based work and attachment-informed practice. These methods are used to help with unhelpful thinking, painful memories, feeling disconnected, and relationship patterns that leave people giving too much of themselves.
In session she helps people notice how family of origin, shame, guilt or codependent habits shape current choices. She supports people who feel empty, isolated or unsure of their life purpose to find clearer next steps. Work can include short-term skills for coping and longer conversations about identity and values.
She has experience supporting young adults and people with school-related or developmental challenges, including visually impaired clients. Celine invites practical goal-setting and regular reflection. She encourages small changes that add up to steadier emotional regulation and clearer boundaries.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking, testing small changes and learning skills to manage anxiety or low mood. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and opens up new ways of making sense of past events and relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Celine will discuss which techniques match a person’s concerns, goals and preferences. She treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts methods as therapy proceeds so the work stays practical and relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches work well in a video meeting, while brief phone or messaging check-ins can suit people needing lower bandwidth or a quick follow-up. Working online can support steady progress while fitting around everyday life.
