Opening Hours
I’m thrilled to be offering holistic therapy and counselling services from Knead Massage in the Brisbane CBD on Fridays each week between 8:30am and 4:30pm as well as Zoom or phone counselling sessions by request.
I’m a mature-age, Australian Counselling Association registered and holistically trained counsellor, creative therapist and dream worker with a passion for guiding and mentoring other beautiful humans as they undertake their own journeys of self-discovery, growth, reconnection and thriving. I’m so looking forward to supporting you to experience more joy, fulfilment, ease and wellbeing in your life.
I work from a humanistic, trauma-informed and holistic therapeutic framework that sees you, the client, as more than just the sum of your parts and as an empowered and active participant in your own growth and transformation. My approach is deeply founded in my belief and experience that the most meaningful, lasting and transformative changes involve working with our whole being – mind, body, spirit/essence/truth (whatever you understand that to be). As your counsellor and mentor, I will draw on a range of therapeutic techniques and processes tailored to you and your needs, but you will always be in the drivers seat. You may opt solely for a more traditional talk-based counselling style, with the option to explore other therapeutic ways of engaging always available to you if or when you choose.
My therapeutic approach
Got questions?
In my holistic counselling and therapy practice, I draw on a range of modalities and therapeutic processes to suit the needs and preferences of individual clients, including: Traditional talk-based counselling from a strengths and growth perspective aimed at helping you to work through personal difficulties or challenging life transitions as well as identifying, understanding and untangling unhelpful or limiting beliefs that may be contributing to personal suffering and psychological symptoms. In the spirit of self-discovery, my Stepping Stones approach will help you to identify your strengths, passions and purpose and support you to set and work towards meaningful life goals and behavioural change with a balance of compassion and accountability. Using the somatic and felt (embodied) sense to assist with processing and integrating emotional experiences, to help activate the parasympathetic response and to help shift habitual emotional reactivity or holding. Working with gentle body awareness and exploration processes as well as expressive movement and vocalisation practices. Drawing on creative and art therapy practices for emotional processing, integration and release, as well as for facilitating self-discovery and powerful emotional and cognitive insights. Working with your dreams and dream fragments using Jungian and depth approaches to help you harvest the rich insights, wisdom and messages from your unconscious offered to you through your dreams. Using mindfulness, guided visualisation and active imagination processes as a tool for managing (and reducing) symptoms as well as to explore and gather deep insights into the self, specific issues, relationships or dreams.

We all benefit from a deep attending to our needs yet they are often the very things we neglect when we’re busy, overly-taxed, depleted or struggling to cope.
My holistic approach to our sessions extends to the experience you have when you’re here. While counselling is never a passive or effortless process, and you are always in the driver’s seat, I always want you to feel as relaxed and nourished as possible while you’re undertaking this brave and enriching journey. We serve Pukka organic herbal teas so you can enjoy a warm cup during our session.
Please provide your tea of choice from our menu with your booking if you wish!
