Rowena Bianchino is a psychotherapist, counsellor, social worker, group therapist and educator at Harbour Therapy Clinic, Coffs Harbour and is the founding clinician of Harbour Therapy Clinic. Her practice is primarily within the existential tradition of psychotherapy and counselling. This mode of practice combines psychology, with an understanding of neuroscience and life span development filtered through a philosophical lense. Existential therapy aims to clarify a client's understanding of themselves and their life circumstances and to uncover the purpose that propels them forward into their lives. Together as clients and therapist it is possible to explore what matters most deeply in the lives of individuals, couples, families and communities and tackle what is most problematic.
Rowena specialises in relationship therapy, assisting couples to start the flow of conversation that has usually been blocked for some time. She can sit with what feels like the unacceptable and unbearable burdens of being human and help clients to begin their own journey back to themselves. Rowena practices in the following areas:
