Somatic Counselling in South East Queensland, QLD

I collaborate with individuals who aspire to break free from recurring patterns of self-sabotage, attracting unsuitable partners, experiencing relational conflicts, and grappling with co-dependency. If you choose to work with me, we will journey towards cultivating more profound, harmonious, and heart-centred relationships with both self and others. I emanate authenticity, warmth, approachability, empathy, dynamism, curiosity, non-judgment, and a trauma-sensitive approach. My passion lies in establishing genuine and meaningful bonds with individuals, fostering a secure and nurturing connection that encourages open dialogue.

It is an honour working with people to support, educate and assist with life struggles and journeys. I have a holistic and trauma informed focus - and extensive experience in the treatment of anxiety, depression, personality disorders, PTSD, complex trauma and drugs & alcohol concerns. And enjoy working with parenting, relationship, and grief & loss issues; as well as life adjustment and transitions. I engage with a warm, person centered, strengths and mindfulness-based perspective.

Are you feeling a deep sense of loss and sadness? Are you wondering how you will get through this pain and when you will feel like yourself again? Grief is not a problem to be resolved - it is a normal human response to loss. While counselling won’t take away your grief, I can support you to navigate the pain it brings and learn how to adapt to life after loss. I specialise in grief counselling for adults from a person-centred, compassion focused, somatic and trauma informed approach.
