About Ajay Hawkes - Fremantle Counselling Services

Ajay began his own journey in mindfulness and body centred therapies in 1995. This grew into a passion for supporting others in their growth, and he has been a counsellor & psychotherapist since 2012.

Ajay grew up in a family where both parents were practising therapists. This provided him with a rich environment for personal growth. He began working as a trainer, coach and mentor in 2004; progressing to offering counselling and psychotherapy in 2012.

Ajay has worked with a wide range of clients from CEOs to prisoners. He built up his experience in a counselling agency, working with alcohol and drug users 1:1 and in men’s groups. Then he went into private practice to offer his work to the general public and to those interested in meditation and personal growth.

Ajay is based in Fremantle and offers counselling & psychotherapy services to the wider Perth metro area.
