Are you struggling with anxiety, shame, intimacy or low self-esteem? Do you often feel that there's something wrong with you or that you are not good enough, no matter how hard you try?

All children want to feel understood, accepted and loved, but sometimes the opposite is experienced in day to day relationships with their parents, siblings, and at school. These feelings can be overwhelmingly frustrating, confusing and stressful for you and your child. You have tried so many ways to help your child and worry about your family's emotional and mental well-being. I can help you and your child gain insight, break through the negative experiences and restore hope. Through our work together, you will feel more supported and your child will improve their self esteem.

I understand that everyone’s journey is unique, and one size does not fit all. Sometimes we are faced with obstacles that will interrupt our life path which requires support. My services are tailored to meet your individual needs, incorporating evidence-based approaches and creative therapies. I am passionate about providing holistic and creative counselling that focuses on a person's mental, emotional, physical and spiritual needs.

As a Social Worker, Billie applies a holistic approach, considering the person within their entire psycho-social system rather than seeing the person as the "problem". Billie encourages a therapeutic relationship based on collaboration and partnership rather than being the “expert” With almost 20 years of experience, she has worked in a variety of different fields including Women and Children's Health, Domestic Violence, Child Protection, Disability, Adolescent Community Mental Health and Trauma counselling, before commencing in Private Practice in 2020.

He can also assist with adjustment and moving forward following difficult life events. He strives to bring a warm, compassionate and genuine approach to therapy, and building a supportive relationship is at the heart of his work.

You might be facing challenges such as anxiety or depression, navigating change, past trauma, unresolved grief, or exploring identity. You might be supporting a child, partner or parent through crisis or difficulty; learning how to manage a health condition; wanting to change unhelpful patterns or behaviours; or be in the process of repairing a relationship. You might be working towards self-awareness, using therapy as part of your self-care plan. Or, you might not know what you need, other than that you need help finding out. As a counsellor, I offer you my empathy and my support.

It is my belief that we are all worthy of a place we can go to speak the truth of who we are and be received with compassion, understanding and deep reverence. Being human is hard work and we were never made to do it all alone. I welcome every part of your identity into the room with an open heart and an open mind. I am passionate about working with individuals who are interested in knowing themselves. I am trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy and counselling and our work together is all about building a deeply therapeutic relationship and thus strengthening the relationship with self.

Each person's experience is unique. You might be struggling with past hurts, experiencing challenging thoughts, have feelings of self-sabotage or that no matter what you do, you end up in the same relationships and repeating the same patterns. The answers lie within you and I can help you uncover them. I bring non-judgemental acceptance, belief in your resilience, and compassion to the journey that we embark on together. I will support you to find the patterns and behaviours in your life that no longer serve you.

Do you need some calm in the middle of what you are facing? It can be really helpful to talk about ways to cope, manage symptoms, and ways to get life back in balance. Whether it's a recent family, work, health or life issue, or this has been going on for a long time, we can aim to make sense of what is happening. We can look at obstacles and plan a way forward.

Welcome, I’m Sonia, a warm, compassionate and open-minded counsellor. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative and strength-based, listening and tailoring my approach around your needs.

I use a range of evidence based, wholistic, strength focussed and trauma informed strategies to support, empower and enhance mental wellbeing.

Being brave with a trusted listener can help us navigate life’s challenges. It helps us move through the strong emotions that make us feel like the ground is giving way. No matter where our stories have taken us, we all just want to be ok, to feel like we can cope, find connection and meaning.

I am a Social Worker and a Gestalt Psychotherapist. I have worked in mental health, disability, with the aged and the dying. Throughout my life journey I have come to have a deep appreciation of the human spirit and its capacity for growth and development. I understand that we are all unique in our response to the challenges that we face, and I work towards creating a supportive and safe environment that allows exploration of what is currently occurring in your life and how it is impacting your ability to live as you would like. Through this process, awareness deepens and the possibility and opportunity for change can occur.

You used to be driven, but now you don't even recognise yourself. You feel isolated, ignored, and utterly exhausted. A newfound impatience is taking its toll on your relationship with your partner and children. Have you wondered when this began or why it is impacting you so heavily? You might have been reading about stress due to motherhood or menopause, but that doesn't mean you have to accept it. You long to retake control of your life, but you're uncertain where to begin.

I am a warm and down-to-earth Clinical Psychologist. From the outset, I value the importance of developing a safe, therapeutic relationship, holding space for a person to explore their inner and external worlds. I have a particular interest in supporting people with chronic health conditions (e.g., chronic pain, cancer, autoimmune, hormonal conditions), anxiety, depression, stress/burnout, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and people navigating the perinatal period (fertility concerns/pregnancy/postpartum). Individual telehealth sessions and online groups currently available (Meditation group and Mothers Nurture Circle).
