Trauma Counselling Sunshine Coast
My Approach To Trauma Counselling
My work combines trauma-informed therapy, mindfulness, and somatic practices, offering a holistic path toward healing.
Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels safe and manageable, gently exploring your experiences without judgment.
I offer a compassionate, grounded presence as we work together, gently supporting you in connecting with your thoughts, feelings, and body. My approach is trauma-informed — I work alongside the strategies you’ve developed to cope, without judging what has happened in your life.
Drawing on mindfulness, somatic practices, and evidence-based approaches, therapy becomes a shared space where insight, self-compassion, and gentle growth can naturally emerge at a pace that feels right for you.
Grace is at the heart of my work — a gentle invitation to slow down, listen inwardly, and move at your own rhythm. Together, we create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you explore your inner world. ( i think i have already said all of this on the other page and it is not needed.

What Our Work Together Might Look Like
*
What Our Work Together Might Look Like *
-
We begin by pausing, noticing your inner world, and creating a sense of safety together. I offer gentle support with grounding and regulation tools to help your nervous system settle, so your body and mind feel ready to explore what’s arising.
-
As trust develops, we gently notice the patterns, beliefs, and protective parts that shape your experience. This might involve tuning into emotions held in the body, reflecting on past experiences with kindness, or connecting with younger or emerging parts of yourself that long to be seen and heard.
-
Together, we explore how insights might translate into daily life — noticing small shifts, setting gentle boundaries, and trying new ways of relating. Over time, you may begin to feel a little more spacious, connected, and confident as you navigate life’s changes.
