Trauma Focused Psychologists and Therapists in Subiaco, WA

Grace Youngs
Counsellor, PsychD, ACA-L1
Subiaco, WA 6008
I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families who may be feeling overwhelmed, navigating life transitions, or experiencing stress, trauma, or relationship challenges. Many clients are balancing busy lives, family responsibilities, or FIFO-related pressures, and are looking for a space to pause and reset. They often come when things begin to feel heavy - whether that’s anxiety, emotional reactivity, or disconnection. Together, we create a supportive space to slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and connection.

Life can throw many difficult and challenging experiences at us all.

Triumph Over Trauma
Counsellor
1 Endorsed
Subiaco, WA 6008
My ideal clients are people who feel stuck, unsettled, or weighed down by patterns they do not fully understand, often linked to childhood wounds, trauma, or shame. They may function well on the outside but struggle internally with anxiety, reactivity, relationship difficulties, or a lack of inner authority. They want clarity, emotional steadiness, and lasting change, not just coping strategies. Above all, they are seeking a safe, trustworthy space to speak honestly and be understood without judgement.

I work with adults who feel stuck in recurring emotional or relationship patterns, often alongside trauma, mood difficulties, or long-standing challenges. Many have insight or previous therapy experience but haven’t seen lasting change.

I help you make sense of why you or your child feel and react the way you do and help build trust in your relationships.
