Counselling in Longford, TAS

eunoia was developed out of a deep desire to recapture connection, beauty and meaning in the everyday.

I am an integrative psychotherapist & holistic counsellor, qualified & registered with PACFA. I support you to feel safe in your body and mind so that you can embrace your whole self. In sessions, we create a safe container, move at a pace that honours your individual needs and start by focusing on resourcing you with the tools you need to thrive. When appropriate, we may dive more deeply into the unconscious patterning to discover the root cause of the challenges you may be experiencing. The approach I take is person-centred, trauma-informed and built on a foundation of openness, acceptance, curiosity & compassion.

I utilise solution focussed and evidence based psychotherapy together with mindfulness and contemplative practices to support and care for my clients. Have a look at our website for more information about how we can support you.

If you are wrestling with conflict, struggling with troubling emotional states or wanting to be more comfortable in your skin and looking for someone to work with, I am available to provide a respectful and open hearted approach and well developed therapeutic skills.

People who reach out and connect with me, are usually womxn or LGBTIQ+ adults, with difficulties in self, relationship, family, career, community or identity, or professionals / leaders in human services or health and medical fields. These folks are usually already highly reflective and have a readiness and willingness to work on issues affecting and surrounding them. People may have realised, or would like to further validate, that they are worthy of investing in this personal development and time. Therapy is a form of self-care, self-love and self-investment.

Feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Need something to change but unsure how to go about changing it? We all face challenges in life that can impact our well-being and quality of life.

Let me help you get back on track.

One of the areas I specialises in is alternative trauma therapies. After working as a social worker for over 12 years I have seen so many people medicated for their mental health and then shown the door. After much research, additional study and completing her Bachelor of Psychology and Masters in Counselling, I believe and am passionate about using holistic therapies to improve people’s mental, physical and spiritual health. After becoming a fan of the American Psychiatrist, Bessel Van Der Kolk who specialised in Complex PTSD, it solidified in my mind the need for alternative therapies and options for clients.

I am a senior social worker with many years experience in private practice and working in government and non-government agencies across Australia. I have worked with men, women, children and families, including people from different backgrounds such as Military personal, veterans and their families, Indigenous language groups, migrants and humanitarian entrants, and prisoners, just to name a few. I am a confident, highly motivated professional and take pride in my ability to communicate, both orally and written, with clients, management and supporting agencies to ensure a high level and comprehensive service.

Offering counselling for children, teens, individuals & families, '& Pause Counselling & Therapy' aims to create a space where you can push pause on the demands of study or work, the expectations of friends & family, or the ache and weight of a long carried load, & be listened to, heard, and valued as an individual. Where you can be still and refill emotionally, mentally, physically, & spiritually, giving you space to breathe; time to rest, reflect and reassess. Time to step back, think, let things go, & recalibrate in order to for you to thrive, not just ‘survive’. Gaining greater insight and understanding; a fresh new perspective.

Adults are ready to take the first step, they are tired of being stuck in survival mode and are courageously seeking their own light at the end of the tunnel, to shift patterns & break cycles! Carers are ready to let go of overwhelm, & affirm that it's ok to pass the baton of responsibility to others as an assertive and effective strength and life-source. Kids are more than ready to express themselves in more creative ways, they are open to hear meaningful stories and ready to explore about themselves in Kimochis playtime.

Hi, I'm Sara, an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with a special interest in trauma and PTSD. Trauma and PTSD can be complex with many layers. It impacts the body, brain, relationships sense of safety and trust in ourselves and the world around us. When we have experienced trauma or been exposed to traumatic events we tend to push the memories or images out of our mind, trying to get on with life as if nothing has happened. This takes a huge amount of energy to keep getting on with everyday life.

Hi, I’m Miro, and I am a counsellor and psychotherapist based in Hobart, I am available to support teenagers and young people, adults, and elder members of our community. I have experience supporting clients with a range of concerns, and have a personal focus on mental health counselling and supporting survivors of trauma, including childhood trauma, family violence and sexual assault. I am trained in a wide range of evidence-based therapies including CBT, ACT, Schema Therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and contemporary trauma-informed therapies including EMDR.

I am a queer and non-binary counsellor that uses narrative practices, acknowledging the person I work with (of any age) as the expert on, and of, their own life. In working alongside people, I also focus on intersectionality taking a systems approach. This approach sees the problem as the problem; that our experiences of trauma and heartbreak result from a world that lacks the resources (knowledges and more) to dignify and link lives in just ways.

The client informs my counselling approach, not any theory or modality. It's about making the client feel comfortable and being able to communicate confidently with an end goal in sight. I follow the 80/20 rule in counselling; the client talks 80% of the time, and I respond 20% of the time. With 13+ years working as a mental health nurse, both in the private and public sector, I have helped hundreds of clients and I am versed in all facets of mental health counselling. As a counsellor, I offer a safe and non-judgmental space for personal growth and healing, helping individuals overcome challenges to achieve lasting positive change.
