If you feel stuck in patterns that don’t seem to change — even though you understand why — you’re not alone. Many people come to therapy with insight into their experiences, yet still find themselves overwhelmed, disconnected, or repeating the same emotional or relational patterns. This is often because these patterns are not held in thoughts alone, but in the nervous system and in how the brain has adapted over time.
At Illumine Psychotherapy & Counselling, we offer a depth-oriented, trauma-informed approach that works not only with understanding — but with how experiences are held and processed in the brain and body. Using integrative, evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, neurofeedback and relational psychotherapy, we support meaningful and lasting change.
I am a registered Medicare Provider, medicare rebates are available to clients presenting with a valid Mental Health Care Plan. I offer a compassionate, warm and collaborative approach to therapy. You are welcome to reach out to see if this approach feels right for you.
