WHAT IS HOLISTIC COUNSELLING?
Holistic therapy is an approach to healing that focuses on treating you as a WHOLE person, encompassing the mind, body, emotions, and spirit as interconnected parts of a larger system.
Unlike traditional therapies that might address only a specific symptom or issue, holistic therapy looks at how different aspects your life influence one another. It recognises that physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being are deeply intertwined.
For example, stress or trauma in your life may not just affect your mood or thoughts—it can also manifest as physical tension, headaches, digestive issues, or trouble sleeping. Similarly, unresolved emotional challenges can influence how you relate to others, how you process thoughts, and even your physical health. In holistic therapy, treating just the symptom (e.g., a physical ailment) without addressing the root cause (e.g., emotional stress) might not lead to long-lasting healing. Instead, by considering the whole picture, holistic therapy aims to promote balance and well-being across all areas of life. This interconnectedness means that improving one aspect—such as emotional well-being through mindfulness—can have positive ripple effects on other areas, like reducing physical symptoms of stress or enhancing relationships
Ultimately, holistic counselling aims to deepen your self-understanding and equip you with LIFELONG skills to empower you in taking control of your life.
HOW IS IT DIFFERENT?
Holistic counselling differs from mainstream approaches but draws on techniques from various counselling styles, particularly psychotherapy.
The key distinction is that holistic counselling works WITH you, rather than to or for you. While many psychologists and psychiatrists follow the medical model—often diagnosing, labeling, or focusing on advice and medication—holistic counselling views you as the expert of your own life. It emphasises collaboration, offering a space for exploration and healing, and focuses on uncovering the root causes of issues rather than just addressing symptoms.
WHAT DO SESSIONS
INCLUDE?
COMFORTABLE, OPEN & SAFE SPACE
Genuine, down-to-earth feels is where it is at. All we really need is for someone to hear us out without trying to fix us. We don't actually need advice, we just need someone to listen objectively and help guide us on our journey.
A COLLABORATIVE EXPERIENCE
More importantly than being a qualified holistic counsellor, I know firsthand what it is like to be a human. This shared experience provides an understanding and level of support that is greater than any qualification can ever provide. The truth is that we just need people who can understand us and be there to support us whilst we navigate our own way. We’ll work together with the common goal of being our best selves so that we can get the most out of our time together.
ONGOING SUPPORT & GUIDANCE
You have the option to receive 1-1 support from me via online meetings (or over the phone) as well as ongoing guidance between meetings so you never have to feel like you are going at life alone. You'll always have my support.
TOOLS & RESOURCES
I'll provide you with lots of tools and resources, depending on your personal experience and circumstances.
ANYWHERE, ANYTIME
You’ll have the choice to do meetings online or via the phone (whichever works for you!) as well as receiving ongoing guidance. Online counselling can be really beneficial, especially if you don't always like heading out in public or just wish to connect from the comfort of your own home. Not only this, but you don't have to waste time driving anywhere which can create more time and flexibility in your schedule.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
My primary message to clients is that YOU intrinsically know what is best for you. When we work together, my focus is to provide guidance and the right CONTAINER for you to understand yourself more deeply, recognise you needs, and develop the necessary skills.
As humans we are always evolving. When you work with me, the process is about growing together. It’s a shared journey, offering both of us the opportunity to heal, grow and become better version of ourselves.
Mind Habitat is an online service, giving you the option to work together either over the phone or via face to face meetings online.
First sessions run for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, and cost $180 AUD.
During this time, we will explore your current situation, understand what brought you here, and clarify your goals. From there, we will create a plan together, refining it based on your feelings and needs.
.
Subsequent sessions range from $160-$200 AUD, depending on your unique needs and preferences, which we will discuss in the first session.
Working together is an opportunity to release things that no longer serve you so you can live your best life, thrive (instead of just survive), and experience the freedom, peace, and happiness you deserve.
From experience, I can say that connecting and growing with others is an amazing way to heal anxiety and trauma, and to build confidence as we become our best selves!
