Mornington Peninsula based counselling

Helping people understand themselves, break unhelpful patterns and create lasting change.

Book a session

The Reset Room was created for people who are carrying more than they should have to carry alone.

My role is to walk alongside you, helping you make sense of what's happening, regulate your emotions and create meaningful lasting change.

My Story

Hi, I'm Van Fitzpatrick.

I founded The Reset Room with a simple belief: meaningful change happens when we understand not only what we feel, but why we feel it.

Too often, people are left trying to manage symptoms without understanding what’s driving them. My approach is different. Together, we’ll explore the patterns, beliefs and experiences that sit beneath anxiety, overwhelm, relationship challenges and emotional distress, creating lasting change rather than temporary relief.

Before becoming a counsellor, I spent more than a decade teaching secondary school students in London. Working closely with young people and their families gave me a deep appreciation for the complexity of human behaviour and reinforced the importance of creating spaces where people feel genuinely heard, understood and supported.

My Approach

Therapy that's practical and compassionate.

I believe symptoms are rarely the problem themselves and often signs pointing towards something deeper.

Rather than simply helping you cope, we’ll work together to understand the emotional patterns and life experiences that have shaped where you are today.

My goal is to help you develop:

Greater emotional awareness
Practical tools for everyday life
Healthier relationships
Confidence in navigating life’s challenges
Lasting change rather than short-term relief

Every counselling journey is different, which is why every session is tailored to you.
