Roberta Mantineo
I am Roberta Mantineo
No one should do life alone; we all need someone for support. I love that I have the privilege of counselling others, in order to make a difference and get to witness lives transform for the better.
I am a licenced Therapist in the northern area of Melbourne and am focused on the wellbeing of all my clients with their safety and mental wellbeing in mind.
I’m able to provide a space without judgement, a space where I can offer support with sensitivity, empathy and offer adaptive strategies that will enhance their lives in order for them to reach their full capacity. I have the ability to actively listen and make a difference in people’s lives.
I offer a holistic approach to mental health and believe my client’s mental, emotional, physical and environmental needs are pivotal in understanding my approach to their treatment.
Counselling may be helpful for you if you’re feeling anxious, unhappy or unfulfilled in your personal life or professional life. You may have tried to cope with your issues on your own but found it difficult.
Together we can learn ways to develop the skills and strategies needed to make your life and/or relationships work, incorporating goal setting which can also help in achieving a more fulfilling successful and richer life.

Adolescents
Teenage years can be really complicated and difficult. Not only are you trying to cope with your physical changes, but your brain is also changing. This means your body is starting to prepare you to become an adult. During this time, this may bring with it an increased emotional rollercoaster ride of you trying to find out who you are. and where you fit in, whether it be in school or out socially. I have worked with adolescents who are trying to make some sense of all this, and with helpful and supportive therapy, together we can identify how these choices you make, can make a difference.
Young Adults
Such an amazing time for you now that you are able to vote, drive a car, and drink legally. WOW! Life should be great, but all this newfound independence and freedom can leave some young adults not feeling this way. They may be feeling lost. not knowing what direction their lives are taking them and feeling confused and overwhelmed. Working collaboratively with you. I would help you to discover what it is that you most want out of your life and help you to gain some clarity so you will be able to make well informed decisions going forward.
Adults
Although you may be an experienced adult, this doesn’t mean life is always laidback or straightforward for you. Family, relationships, and work can all have an impact on us and on how we cope and feel in our daily life. Sometimes all that’s needed is having someone that we can trust to tell our inner thoughts to, and who can support us, that can make the difference. Those who have suffered from family issues, friendship problems or work difficulties such as bullying, helping you develop new coping skills and re-framing your thoughts can make an enormous difference in your life.
