Hello, I'm Terence Moss, founder of Lyra Counselling, a qualified counsellor, and an Australian Counselling Association (ACA) Level 2 Registered Counsellor.

 

I believe that every person deserves to feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. Reaching out for counselling can take courage, and my goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace.

 

With more than 17 years of experience in disability, community services, and human services, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals and families through some of life's most challenging circumstances. My professional background has included working alongside people living with autism, intellectual disability, acquired brain injury, dementia, complex behaviours, mental health challenges, and significant life transitions. These experiences have deepened my appreciation for each person's resilience and reinforced my belief that meaningful change begins with understanding, trust, and genuine human connection.

 

I hold a Master of Counselling from the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors and am committed to providing evidence-based, ethical, and person-centred care. I believe learning never stops, and I continually engage in professional development to ensure my knowledge and skills remain current and responsive to the diverse needs of the people I support.

My counselling approach is person-centred, trauma-informed, and strengths-based. I tailor each session to your unique circumstances, recognising that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing or personal growth. Together, we will work collaboratively to identify your strengths, develop practical strategies, and build confidence as you move towards your goals.

 

I work with adults experiencing a range of concerns, including anxiety, stress, grief and loss, relationship challenges, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, self-esteem, disability-related concerns, and the lasting effects of difficult life experiences. My aim is to create a respectful therapeutic relationship where you feel accepted, empowered, and supported throughout your journey.

At the heart of my practice are the values of clarity, care, and connection. I believe counselling is about more than solving problems—it's about helping people rediscover hope, develop resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.

 

Outside of counselling, I enjoy spending time with my family here in Perth and with our much-loved dog, Max, who reminds me every day of the importance of connection, patience, and finding joy in life's simple moments.

 

Thank you for visiting Lyra Counselling. If you're considering taking the next step, I would be honoured to support you on your journey towards greater wellbeing.
