Counselling in Main Ridge, VIC

Are you seeking a holistic and body-oriented style of therapy that respects the full spectrum of your human experience? My roots are in process work: a dynamic blend between Jungian psychology and nature-honoring shamanistic/spiritual traditions, with a focus on supporting your natural drive towards awareness and wholeness. I work with women & men who are seeking a nourishing and empowering space to face the difficult or hidden dimensions of their lives. In my work, I most enjoy exploring the areas of sexuality & spirituality; intimacy & love; power dynamics; grief & death; major life transitions; and healing with psychedelics.

I love helping people to find their inner peace, to understand themselves enabling them to live a happy life and have happy relationships. I especially love helping men to become emotionally intelligent, to become better communicators, fathers and partners. I am experienced in couples counselling assisting my clients to see their situation through more enlightening and empowering perspectives; training couples and singles how to express vulnerability – i.e. feelings, needs and wants – in a constructive and authentic way; offering practical and down to earth advice.

We all experience some problems in our day-to-day lives.When problems we face impact our physical & emotional well-being & our quality of life, it is helpful to reach out to someone for support. Pri provides counselling to young children, adolescents, & adults. She can help with stress management, anxiety, behaviour management, body image concerns, bullying, depression, grief, gender & sexuality, neurodevelopmental differences, NDIS support, parents’ separation & divorce, school attendance & trauma. She also provides counselling to adults experiencing anxiety, separation, grief and loss, parenting support, and family conflict.

I wholeheartedly believe in therapeutic healing through safety, compassion & acceptance in the present moment. If we are in distress, feeling lost, alone, sad, anxious or angry it can be hard to know whom to talk with or, what to talk about. Sometimes we don't want to talk at all to start with and, would prefer to do a creative/movement exercise to express ourselves. Maybe we know exactly what we want to talk about and explore, maybe learning new skills to integrate into daily life. I can be there to support you, whatever stage you are at.

The essence of my therapy is in building solid, safe relationships collaboratively with my clients, catering to the unique needs of each person in a non-judgmental way. Rather than tell someone what they need, I prefer a merging of minds to make meaningful and sustainable differences. Together we explore resources to overcome adversity and suffering whilst learning to accept and adapt to the complicated facets of life where required. My therapeutic approach is also rooted in a deep exploration of early life experiences, with a focus on understanding and facilitating the healing of trauma or patterned behaviour.

Are you looking for an integrative, somatic & spiritually-grounded style of therapy? My work is rooted in Process-oriented Psychology: an awareness modality that integrates Jungian psychology, dream-body awareness, nature-based perspectives, and shamanic/spiritual traditions - following your innate drive for authentic self-expression and wholeness. I work with people who desire an empowering container to transform their challenges into opportunities for psychospiritual growth and maturation. My passion is to work with psychedelic and plant-medicine integration, spiritual experiences, grief, sexuality, dreams, and relationships.

Appointments are Available within a week. Sessions are bookable online via my website. Do you struggle with feeling like you are not a good person, partner, or parent? Are you going through a transitional phase of your life? You're not alone! There are times we all feel like we are not enough or just can't get that balance in life but knowing that other people go through it doesn't help. You want action, you want a plan, and steps you can take to make that change. You want someone you can trust and talk to that is not involved or connected. Counsellors do not work with MHP or offer services under Medicare in Australia.
