Maitrī Therapy
Counsellor, ACA-L2
Fremantle, WA 6160
My name's Britt, and I’m so glad you're here. 'Maitrī' is a Sanskrit word meaning unconditional friendship and loving-kindness – a deliberate practice of compassion, non-judgment, and goodwill toward oneself and others. This principle is at the heart of my work. I see healing as a process of re-integration, whereby – with maitrī – we bring all hurt or disowned parts of ourselves back into wholeness, and remember how to be our own best friend. Many of the people I work with are deeply self-aware, yet still feel stuck in cycles of self-criticism, overthinking, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, or painful relationship patterns.

Sometimes it can feel as though you’re caught in old ways of coping, disconnected from yourself despite all your efforts to move forward. I offer a gentle, trauma‑informed approach that works with both the mind and the body, supporting healing at the deeper levels where patterns are held. I am trained in Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) Level 3, Internal Family Systems (IFS) Level 3, and IFS-informed EMDR and I am certified in Somatic Experiencing & Brainspotting. These approaches help the nervous system release deep‑rooted patterns from past stress and trauma

If our mind is out of control and stressed, how can we be at ease? A happy mind is a spacious mind that is content and at peace. Common life challenges that I can assist with: anxiety, depression, self-worth and self-confidence issues, interpersonal issues, anger management, emotional regulation, life transition, grief & loss, traumas, existential issues, lack of purpose. My method is aimed at transforming mind & heart to achieve optimal well-being. Since genuine happiness is created by our mind, the better insight we have into the nature of our mind and emotions, the better equipped we are in creating the causes of happiness.

I see both adults and adolescents who typically present with a range of emotional, behavioural, relational, or life-transition difficulties that are causing distress and reducing functioning. Their needs often centre on feeling heard, understood, and safe enough to explore their experiences without judgement. Common goals include reducing symptoms (such as anxiety, depression, or stress), improving coping skills, strengthening relationships, and gaining clarity about their values and direction.

Navigating a world that feels misaligned with your way of thinking can be exhausting. Whether you are managing the complexities of neurodivergence (Autism/ADHD) or the weight of anxiety, depression and trauma, the pressure to simply 'function' leaves little room for your true self. You may find yourself struggling with emotional dysregulation or questioning your identity while managing the demands of daily life. You deserve a space where your experiences aren't just diagnosed, where the goal isn't to be 'fixed', but to develop a way of living that feels authentic, manageable, and grounded in your unique strengths.
