Disconnected. Anxious. Overwhelmed. Struggling. Uninspired. Challenged. Hurting. Numb. Lost. Any of these experiences resonate? Often when people seek therapy there is an internal voice which is speaking a longing for change. Therapy offers a space to become curious about the how and why we may have found ourselves stuck. It offers time to attune to your internal world and make meaning, move with and through complexity, and orient toward new goals. Working with adults and adolescents I practice with a trauma-informed, evidence-based, collaborative and creative focus. I appreciate the complexities of our deeply human states.

I am Gillian, I am a couples and relationship counsellor. I work with relationships, supporting each person to feel understood, held, and connected. I specialise in working with people who want to cut through the noise to really connect with their partner/s. The grind of daily life or a big issue can cause ruptures in the relationship. I work with folks to have important, sometimes painful and often vulnerable, conversations to re-establish connection. When there is ambiguity, I specialise in helping people find clarity on a way to move forward, together, or apart.

In my work with clients, I prize the relationship we share as the vehicle through which treatment and change occurs. Through this relationship, we endeavour for therapy to be a space whereby a collaborative understanding of what has brought them to this point in life may be developed. Indeed, I believe that it is from this place that we may then work to develop a pathway forward to treat what is present, foster and deepen insight, and muster compassion to hold the fullness and uniqueness of each individual with deep appreciation and care.

In my experience, people don’t always come to therapy because there’s a problem they want to fix. More often, people seek out counselling because something just doesn’t feel right, something has shifted in their lives and they want help in navigating that change. I create sacred space to hear your story so that you can hear it too. A safe space to breathe between the chapters. We are all weavers of stories and I will walk alongside you as you continue to craft yours.

Hi, my name is Josh. I specialise in working with clients with trauma (C/PTSD), anxiety, depression and chronic conditions by facilitating Body-Mind Processing practices. I use Buddhist Psychotherapy as my therapeutic framework. Buddhist Psychotherapy is a non-religious, brain science-focused and compassion-oriented framework, which can combine evidence-based counselling methods with body-mind integrative practices for a restored sense of wellbeing. My practice focuses on the body’s innate wisdom to work out solutions to the presented issues, as well as working with emotions as the vehicles to connect body-and-mind.
