Individual Therapy and Counselling in Fremantle, Perth
or Australia wide Online
Gentle support for anxiety, trauma, stress, and emotional overwhelm
A Calm Space to Begin Again
You may be feeling anxious, burnt out, or weighed down by emotions you can’t quite name. Perhaps you've been carrying old pain for a long time — or you’re just beginning to realise how deeply something has affected you.
You don’t have to figure it out alone.
I offer a compassionate space where you can slow down, feel supported, and gently begin to make sense of what’s going on inside you. Together, we’ll uncover what’s beneath the surface and help you move toward clarity, safety, and healing — at your pace.
Sessions are available in person in Fremantle or online across Australia. I work with adults and young people aged 8+.
What Clients Often Say After a Few Sessions
“I didn’t realise how much I was holding.”
“It feels like I can finally breathe again.”
“I don’t feel as alone in it anymore.”
“I’m responding instead of reacting.”
“I actually feel safe in my body for the first time.”
These gentle, honest reflections are common in this work.
When we slow down and feel truly supported, something shifts — not just in how we think, but in how we carry ourselves, relate to others, and meet life.
What Individual Therapy & Counselling Offers
This is more than just talking — it's a space where your emotions, body, and nervous system are welcomed into the conversation. I work with people navigating:
Anxiety, panic, or emotional overwhelm
Chronic stress and nervous system burnout
PTSD and trauma recovery
Phobias or deeply held fears
ADHD-related nervous system dysregulation
Grief, loss, or transitions that feel hard to move through
Narcissistic abuse or toxic relationships
Feeling numb, disconnected, or stuck in patterns
Anger, resentment, or mood swings
A deep longing to feel at peace within
You may not have words for what you're carrying — and that’s okay. Together, we’ll listen to what your body and emotions are trying to say.
A Gentle Invitation to Pause
Before we go further, take a moment.
Place one hand on your heart or belly — wherever feels right.
Let yourself notice your breath, your body, the ground beneath you.
You don’t have to name everything you’re feeling.
You don’t have to be ready for everything at once.
But if something in you is quietly whispering that it’s time to begin — I’m here to walk with you.
Who is Individual Therapy and Counselling For?
This therapy is ideal for you if:
Anxiety feels constant, overwhelming, or paralysing
You are exhausted—physically, mentally, or emotionally—and find it hard to recharge
You feel trapped by anger or resentment, and it’s affecting your relationships
You’ve been carrying grief or loss that you haven’t had the space to process
You feel disconnected from your body, emotions, or life purpose
You’ve experienced trauma or difficult life events that still affect your well-being
You’re ready to regulate your nervous system and regain a sense of control over your emotions
My Approach: Trauma-Informed, Somatic, Gentle
The way I work is rooted in presence, respect, and curiosity — never force.
We’ll go slowly, supporting your body and nervous system as much as your mind. When we tend to your system with care, healing becomes possible in ways that don’t require pushing or reliving.
-
Through the lens of Polyvagal Theory, we’ll explore how your nervous system shapes how safe, connected, or overwhelmed you feel. You'll learn to recognise your patterns and develop ways to regulate, so you’re not constantly swinging between shutdown and anxiety.
-
We hold stories in our bodies, not just our minds. Somatic therapy helps you gently reconnect with sensations, memories, and emotions stored beneath the surface. This work helps you feel more grounded, present, and able to respond to life with greater ease and resilience.
-
Somatic EMDR blends gentle body awareness with traditional EMDR techniques. It’s especially supportive if you feel stuck in cycles of hypervigilance, anxiety, or emotional numbness — helping you process trauma without becoming overwhelmed.
-
Mindfulness is about being here, kindly — with whatever you're feeling. We’ll use breath, awareness, and gentle movement to help you stay connected to yourself, even when things feel difficult. Over time, this builds a strong inner foundation of self-trust and calm.

Why This Approach Works
Scientific research continues to show that therapies which include the body — like somatic therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness — are especially effective for healing trauma, anxiety, and stress-related symptoms.
They don’t just change your thoughts — they help your entire system feel safe again.
As trauma expert Bessel van der Kolk writes, “The body keeps the score.” But with the right support, it can also learn to rest, recover, and feel alive again.
