About Rosemarie

Rosemarie Herbert is a PACFA counsellor in Australia with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing relationship problems, family conflict, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, eating issues, stress and anxiety. She also supports clients dealing with grief, LGBT questions and parenting challenges.

Her sessions focus on clear, practical conversation. She encourages people to talk through what matters and to name specific situations that cause distress. Sessions move at a steady pace and aim to make the next steps feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

Rosemarie pays attention to patterns that show up across relationships and everyday life. She looks at attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness or shame. She also addresses communication problems, control issues, infidelity and isolation when these affect wellbeing.

Her work includes helping people with caregiver stress, ageing and geriatric issues, immigration-related strain, gender dysphoria and challenges linked to domestic violence. Practical problem-solving and clearer interpersonal boundaries are common focuses in her sessions.

Rosemarie tailors the pace to each person and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work. She offers support in English and does not accept international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions

Rosemarie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. That typically means drawing on approaches that look at how thoughts, feelings and relationships keep problems going. One common method focuses on recognising unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and reactivity. Another approach examines attachment and relational patterns to improve communication and reduce chronic feelings of abandonment or isolation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rosemarie will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and then recommend techniques that fit those aims. The process is collaborative and adjusts if a method does not seem to be helping.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make regular check-ins easier to schedule and can be organised to suit quieter times of day or shorter breaks from work.
