About Rosemarie
Rosemarie Herbert is a PACFA counsellor in Australia with 10 years of experience helping people manage relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. She also works with people dealing with eating problems, stress, anxiety, grief and parenting challenges. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.
Rosemarie focuses on straightforward, practical conversations about what is happening at home. She listens for patterns in how people relate and points out small changes that can reduce daily strain. Her style is calm and direct, aiming to make difficult topics easier to talk about.
She commonly supports people coping with abandonment, attachment difficulties, or feelings of emptiness. She also helps where there are communication problems, control issues, and the aftereffects of domestic violence. Practical issues such as caregiver stress, ageing concerns and immigration-related pressures are within her remit.
Clients bring concerns about body image, gender dysphoria, guilt and shame, infidelity, isolation and loneliness. Rosemarie addresses these with evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s situation. She keeps sessions focused on workable steps rather than abstract theory.
Rosemarie describes the first meetings as an opportunity to clarify goals and agree on what to work on. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online practice
Rosemarie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address relationship and family concerns. One common approach is focused work on attachment and relationship patterns, which helps people understand how past experiences shape current reactions and improve everyday interactions. Another approach addresses trauma-related symptoms with stabilisation and pacing, helping people manage strong emotions and grounding strategies to feel more present.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Rosemarie will talk through what feels most helpful, match techniques to the person's goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This is a collaborative process that aims to fit methods to practical needs rather than using a single fixed model.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting conversations into busy household routines and reducing travel time. If you prefer shorter check-ins or need to avoid being on camera some days, discuss options when you book. The exact session formats available should be confirmed before booking so they fit with daily life and scheduling needs.
