Welcome to Wellness From Within
About Me.
I am Holistic Counsellor who has many years experience working with people struggling with life issues and emotional difficulties, which might include anxiety, depression, a phobia or personality disorder. I am passionate about working with couples to help them create harmony and joy in their relationship. Men's issues have also been a personal focus, especially around feelings of isolation and inadequacy.

How I would work with you.
I am committed to offering you a supportive and caring environment where you will be heard and there will be no judgement while you explore any issue at your own pace. The overall aim is for you to have a positive counselling experience. The counselling session will always be focused on your needs and what is suitable for you personally. I will draw on many theories and practice methods including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, which has a focus on mindfulness and personal values. I keep up-to-date by attending regular professional development sessions. By doing this I am constantly expanding my knowledge and increasing my skills base. Much of my approach comes from a spiritual viewpoint. My aim is to help you to stay positive and trust more in the process of life so that you can let go of trying to control things. By letting go we will attract better experiences to us and our life will flow more freely. I also believe in helping people to get in touch with their core values, so that they can live the life they desire. Meditation, I believe, is a useful tool to help calm the mind, which helps us face and deal more effectively with the up and downs that we are presented with each day.
Relationship/MarriageCouple Counselling
"Kindness' and courtesies are so important. In relationships, the little things are the big things." - Stephen R. Covey -
Are you and your partner facing the following problems?
• Ineffective Communication
• Conflict and Ongoing Disagreements
• Intimacy and Sexual Issues
• Affairs/Trust Issues
• Work/Life Balance
• Financial Issues
• Roles and Parenting Problems
These are common issues that many couples face and struggle to work through on their own.
In relationship counselling I would help couples to negotiate from a common ground when communication is not working. I will also assist couples in understanding themselves better, as well as helping them in gaining more understanding of what is happening for the other person. I will help couples to be more open and receptive to each other while putting aside their defences and hostility. With this in place couples will regain their ability to connect.
Relationship counselling gives couples a better appreciation of the issues they face and gives couples tools and insight to resolve areas of conflict.
The Aim Of Counselling
"Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass... it's about learning how to dance in the rain." - Unknown
The aim of counselling would be to help couples regain trust in themselves and each other, so they can re-create real caring and intimacy. This will give the relationship the ability to grow, develop and move forward.
I would bring awareness to the many things that damage and drain a relationship of it vitality. These include disconnection, reactivity, avoidance, being stuck inside your own mind and neglecting values.
I can help couples to get past their many issues rather than having them give up because it all feels ‘too hard’. If the issues presented are not worked through and clarified, then these old patterns will re-immerge, even in a new relationship.
Men Coming for Counselling shows Courage & Real Strength
Because of the way men are socialized in our culture, which is to be self-reliant and stoic and to ‘act’ rather than feel, they mostly want to avoid any form of counselling. They fear that they will be seen to be needy, or weak. In fact, taking this step takes real courage, and strength, as they are stepping out of their comfort zone and entering into a territory that is unfamiliar. Counselling is not to make men more like a women, but to help men develop those parts that have been ignored so they can be a more rounded person. What are the benefits? Closer and stronger connections in their relationships with everybody in their life, including their kids. They will also find more contentment within themselves, as they will feel less isolated.
Flower Essence Therapy
Flower essences are not a chemical, have no side effects with no danger of overdosing. So what are they? Flower essences are subtle liquid extracts, generally taken in oral form, which are used to address profound issues related to emotional well-being, soul development, and mind-body health. While the use of flowers for healing has been used in many ancient traditions, the precise application of flower essences for specific emotions and attitudes was first developed by an English physician, Dr Edward Bach, in the 1930’s. Today, flower essences are gaining world-wide professional recognition and popularity for their significant contribution to holistic health.
Although flower essences may appear to be like many other health remedies that come in dropper bottles, their composition is different. Flower essences do not work because of the chemical composition, but because they contain the life force energy from the plant within the water-based liquid. Like homeopathic remedies, flower essences work at a vibrational level. The liquid is highly diluted, but has a subtle power as a potentized substance and embodies the individual energy of each flower. This works through the various human energy fields, which influence our mental, emotional and physical well-being. By taking flower essence we are accessing the wisdom of the flowers as each flower’s energy is related to a human strength or virtue, e.g. openness, courage, confidence, clarity, etc.
Flower Affinity Process
After having my own flower essence consultations and first hand experience of how well the Flower Affinity works, I have decided to incorporate this process as one way of working with you if you feel comfortable choosing the essences this way. This process gives you the opportunity to undertake a journey of self-empowerment and self-discovery as you choose the flowers that you resonate with. These particular flowers will reflect an inner need and will reveal what may be out of balance in your life. Taking this particular flower essence will help you to alleviate and overcome your difficulty.
The other way of working would be for me to choose the flower essence according to what I feel would benefit you the most at that time.
Most times more than one essence will be required and I will select them from:
§ Bach Flower Remedies
§ FES Essences
A Flower Essence consultation can take 2 hours if the flower affinity process is used and will cost $80 — this includes one month’s supply of your flower essence.
