Hester Aletta (Trix) Harvey is a counsellor based in Como, NSW. You can find her practice at 117 Woronora crescent, Como NSW 2226.
Her work focuses on helping people sort out what’s going on in their minds and day-to-day life. That can mean stress that won’t quit, feeling overwhelmed, or just not coping as well as you’d like. At times people come in because of anxiety, low mood, or tough changes at home or work. Other times it’s more about learning better ways to handle pressure, emotions, and hard moments.
Sessions are available as individual counselling, and she also runs group therapy sessions. In many cases, the aim is to help you feel safer and more steady, not “fixed” overnight. You’ll look at what’s driving the stress or the worry, and then work through practical coping skills you can use between appointments. The process is usually calm and grounded, with space to talk things through properly.
Hester also uses stress management techniques and helps people build coping skills that fit their real life. That might include ways to slow down when you feel flooded, or how to step back and respond instead of reacting. She keeps things simple and focuses on what you can actually do day to day.
In her counselling work, Hester brings a steady, supportive approach. She understands that everyone’s situation is different, and you don’t always need the same tools. Her aim is to help you feel more in control, even when life is messy. She supports clients who speak English or Afrikaans, which can make things feel a lot easier from the start.
For education and training, only a general counselling background is listed here, so details aren’t provided. Research or clinical trial work isn’t shown, either. What is clear is the focus on practical support, good conversation, and skills that help you manage stress and cope better over time.
