TAYLORMADE COUNSELLING

TaylorMade Counselling brings family law expertise, trauma-informed care and parenting coordination together in one place, in West Melbourne and Eltham. So whoever you are, you get support built around your actual situation, not a script.

You Get a Report That Captures the Whole Child: Not Just the Risk Factors

Most report writers focus on facts and findings. Linda's reports also capture the child behind the case, including their personality, friendships, interests and family relationships, so the Court sees a fuller picture, not just a list of risks.

You Get Someone Who Doesn't Need the Job Explained to Them

Plenty of practitioners say they understand trauma. Linda spent years working within Victoria Police before she ever counselled anyone about it, so you can skip the explaining and get straight to feeling better.

You Get a Real Conversation, Not a Clinical Script

Counselling is full of clinical language. We'd rather have a real conversation, one where you feel heard, not processed.

You Get One Team, Not Four Different Referrals

Counselling, family law, parenting coordination and trauma don't usually sit under one roof. At TaylorMade, they do, so you're not repeating your story to someone new every time your situation changes.

Ready to talk? Whether you're instructing a report, looking for confidential support after a hard shift, or trying to move forward after separation, we're here.

The TaylorMade journey began with a single goal; to be able to connect with people and to support them to reconnect with themselves.  Linda, our practice owner, wanted TaylorMade to be about empowering people who are experiencing challenges, to encourage them to look at their lives from different angles, to reframe their thinking, to recognise and acknowledge their strengths and triumphs, in order to facilitate them to make positive changes, so that they can lead happy and fulfilling lives.

TaylorMade Counselling acknowledges the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of this nation.  

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands on which TaylorMade is located and where we conduct our business, the Boon Wurrung and Woiwurrung (Wurundjeri) peoples of the Kulin Nation.

We pay our respects to ancestors and Elders, past and present.

TaylorMade Counselling is committed to honouring Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ unique cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters and seas and their rich contribution to society.

The word ‘connection’ is so important to Aboriginal people.

We believe that everything on Country is connected:

the people, the land, the sea, and its animals and plants.

This connection is both spiritual and physical.

This artwork represents the supportive connections and

relationships TaylorMade forms with people during challenging

times they may face and how these connections help them to

rewire themselves for a more positive outcome. In the middle

is a meeting spot (TaylorMade) surrounded by people.

From this there are dotted lines/bonds leading out to other

people in the surrounding community. This shows a strong

connection to TaylorMade. There are hills around the outside

and animal tracks/footprints running through the piece

depicting the ups and downs or challenges on different

peoples’ journeys. 

In the background is the symbol for stars

and in this piece, it signifies ancestors or people that have

been a part of our lives and led us to this point on our journey.
