About Brooke

Brooke Aslett
Counsellor

CPC Certified Practising Counsellor badge with green and black color scheme

I studied a Bachelor of Counselling as a mature age student at the University of Notre Dame Australia.  I am a certified practising counsellor with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA).

Prior to studying at Notre Dame I worked for Fremantle Foundation facilitating their grant-making activities and collective giving group - Impact100 Fremantle.

I have 3 adolescents and a dog named Lucy.

my values

  • empowering

    I take a humanist and person-centered approach to counselling that focuses on collaboration.

    I want clients to feel empowered, and have agency and autonomy over their lives.

  • Social justice

    I am aware of social inequities and systemic oppression. I understand and acknowledge the power dynamics within the mental health field.

    Many people would have improved wellbeing with free and accessible healthcare, livable wages, stable housing, secure attachments and supportive community.

  • ethical

    I align with PACFAs ethical standards for clinical practice including: putting clients first, working to high professional standards, building a relationship of trust, respecting diversity, confidentiality and professional boundaries and working ethically with colleagues.

  • flexible

    I started Market Street Counselling because I value flexibility. This can mean I’m not available all the time.

    I extend this flexibility to clients around my policies and providing multiple entry points for accessing services.

  • reflective

    I continuously reflect critically on my practice and commit to lifelong learning.

My Approach

  • A red lifebuoy with white reflective strips floating on water.

    Trauma Informed Practice

    Trauma informed practice acknowledges that trauma is common. As an approach it is holistic, empowering, strengths-focused, collaborative and reflective and promotes safety.

    Integrative

    Integrative counselling encompasses the whole person, taking into account individual mental, physical and emotional needs.  It draws on techniques and understandings from a variety of modalities to create an individual approach for each person.

  • Two people sitting on rocks overlooking a calm ocean, with cloudy sky above.

    Interpersonal Process

    An integrative and relational approach which focuses on the therapeutic relationship formed in counselling as a means for understanding and change.

  • Calm blue ocean water with gentle ripples reflecting sunlight.

    critical and ecological

    Considers the impacts of socio-economic, cultural and contextual factors on peoples lives and the social determinants of wellbeing. Understands that individual wellbeing is predicated on that of the family, community and societal conditions.
