Narre Warren South, VIC 3805
I offer trauma-informed counselling that integrates traditional talk therapy with yoga-based therapeutic approaches to support emotional regulation, recovery, and relational healing.
My work is informed by Gestalt therapy principles, supporting clients to develop greater awareness of patterns, responsibility, and choice — particularly in the context of addiction and recovery. I bring a strong background in Family mediation, supporting couples to navigate high conflict, communication breakdowns, the impact of alcohol use, trauma and life transitions on relationships. My approach is collaborative, non-judgemental, and focused on
practical, sustainable change.
Where appropriate and always client-led, I incorporate gentle movement, breathwork, and mindfulness to help clients reconnect with their bodies and develop greater safety, balance, and resilience — particularly where stress, trauma, or substance use has impacted wellbeing.
I work with adults and couples who are seeking meaningful insight, improved emotional regulation, and a more balanced way of relating to themselves and each other.
