About Salome
Salome Mbenjele supports people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or family conflict. She is an ACA counsellor with more than 20 years of experience. Salome aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and to work toward clearer goals.
Her approach is warm and interactive. Sessions are built around respectful, non-judgemental conversation where thoughts and feelings can be shared. She focuses on practical steps that can help with day-to-day coping, motivation and confidence.
Salome draws on a mix of methods including cognitive behavioural ideas and client-centred listening. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas and attachment-informed ways of understanding relationships. These approaches guide how she and a client build goals and practice new skills.
She has worked with people affected by trauma and abuse, and supports those dealing with self-esteem and relationship strains. Other areas Salome attends to include ageing and caregiver stress, communication and blended family issues, and difficulties linked to autism, attachment or personality concerns.
Salome works in Australia and speaks English, South Ndebele, North Ndebele and Shona. If someone is ready to make a change she can help them take practical steps and offer ongoing support as they try out new ways of coping.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Salome uses cognitive behavioural therapy and attachment-based ideas that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and practise different responses in relationships. CBT focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, and can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings and connection, and can help with family conflict and self-esteem. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Salome will talk with the client about their goals, experiences and preferences, and they will decide together which methods to try. This means sessions can change over time to match what is most helpful. The therapist's session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue therapy if circumstances change, while keeping the focus on practical skills, steady progress and realistic goals.Areas of focus
