Mikaela Grant is a Counsellor and Psychotherapist based in Bendigo, Victoria. She works out of 131 Hargreaves Street, Bendigo VIC 3550. Sessions are available for individuals, families, and groups, so people can get support in a way that fits their situation.
Mikaela’s work is centred on helping people make sense of what’s going on for them, and building practical ways to cope. In many cases, that means looking at how thoughts, feelings, and everyday choices link together. She also uses cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) to support changes that can be felt in day-to-day life. At times, mindfulness-based therapy is used alongside this, helping clients slow things down and notice what’s happening in the moment.
For individual counselling, the focus is on the things a person wants to work through. For family therapy sessions, the aim is often clearer communication and better ways of handling stress within the home. Group therapy can be a good option for people who want to feel less alone, and learn from shared experience in a safe, respectful space. The approach is steady and grounded, with room for real talk and small steps forward.
Over time, Mikaela’s sessions help clients build skills they can use between appointments. That might include learning new coping strategies, recognising unhelpful patterns, and practising mindfulness in a way that feels doable. If you’re not sure what type of session you need, it’s okay to start with a chat and talk through what you’re looking for.
In terms of training and education, Mikaela has education and clinical training that supports her counselling and psychotherapy work. She continues to practise these approaches in a clinical setting. If you’re looking for support in Bendigo and want a calm, practical style, Mikaela may be a good fit for individual, family, or group counselling, including CBT and mindfulness-based therapy.
