At Small Steps Counselling, I help clients not just explore and talk about their trauma experiences but actively shift them. Our work together is about helping you to move beyond survival mode and start living at ease - with a sense of confidence, self-compassion and resilience. If you feel you've processed your trauma experience, but you’re still stuck in survival mode — living with constant anxiety, low mood, tension, deep exhaustion or a lingering sadness you can’t quite explain — you’re not alone! Trauma doesn’t just live in our mind; it lives within our nervous system. That's why talk-therapy alone often isn't enough.
I am an Integrative, Wellness-oriented counsellor, educator and meditation teacher offering online trauma counselling for adults in Brisbane / Australia. I integrate evidence-based talk therapy modalities, body-based awareness techniques, psychoeducation and insight-focused mindset tools, to support you as a whole person - not just the sum of your problems.
I understand firsthand the emotional toll of traumatic experiences; I've had several of my own. When we work together, I bring not just my professional experience, but also my lived understanding of the path you're on. It's why I began Small Steps. Think of our sessions as a safe space where you can talk freely and simply be yourself- doubts, fears and all.
