SERVICES
Welcome to Lightly Centered Holistic Counselling For Women
Tabitha draws from broad life experience & her own healing journey, 20 years of personal development, training, volunteering & coaching others, and 8 years group facilitation. She has a passion for helping women who are feeling lost to heal old wounds & resolve current difficulties, in order to find their authentic selves & reach their full potential.
WHY HOLISTIC COUNSELLING?
Every human being searches for acceptance, fulfilment and happiness. At some point along our journey we need to venture within, sometimes to our deepest darkest corners, in order to resolve the conflicts that have gathered in there. Usually help is needed to do this.
Holistic counselling deals with root causes rather than just symptoms. The processes work with mind, body & spirit/soul, accessing both conscious & unconscious realms, bringing awareness to a deeper sense of self, and offering the opportunity to heal & thrive.
Having a nurturing space to sit with, listen & bear witness to all aspects of your self can lead to awakening, empowerment & growth, freeing you to find meaning, inspiration, purpose & a deeper connection with your self while unearthing unlimited potentials.
HOW DOES HOLISTIC COUNSELLING WORK & WHAT ARE THE METHODS?
Tabitha guides each session to meet your particular needs at any given moment. You become the expert in your own healing journey, while you are compassionately supported & respectfully companioned to explore, express, process & resolve difficult or worrying issues that can be a part of this intricate tapestry we call ‘life’. This can lead to a more conscious, empowered, balanced & enriching experience of the present.
She combines traditional talking therapies, (based in a person centred approach encouraging, honouring & valuing your own inherent wisdom), with creative non-verbal forms of expression which may include:
ART THERAPY – induce inner transformation utilising a variety of guided creative processes including mandalas; drawing with charcoal/pastel/chalk/etc; & more, to communicate information stored in your subconscious realms, to express feelings, or as an alternative expression for that which cannot be put into words. Rather than focus on the aesthetic value of a finished product, art therapy deals more with the actual process of expressing, clarifying, releasing and creating. No artistic talent required. Invaluable in dealing with trauma & ‘stuckness’.
SAND TRAY THERAPY – translate personal experience into 3D & build a connection between your inner & outer worlds. Create landscapes in sand in which symbols can be arranged & emotional issues can be projected in a non-confronting way. You may experience a profound form of expression, understanding, & perspective, which can ultimately lead to release, acceptance & resolution.
DREAMWORK – have you ever wondered what your dreams mean? Explore the hidden symbolic language of the unconscious, illuminate suppressed or shadow material in order to know yourself more deeply, re-connect with forgotten or neglected parts & move towards self actualization. Check out the new online Dream Group at www.collectivesupport.com.au …
WRITING – express & progress through powerful written exercises like dream or day journalling, affirmations, rewriting your story or a range of other supportive processes to help you let go of anything holding you back & move towards a state of happiness, inspiration & wholeness.
INNER CHILD WORK - Re-connect with the playful, impulsive, creative, innocent part of yourself that is often neglected & may be calling for some nurturing, healing & empowering. Reclaiming this part of you can be profound, exhilarating & life affirming.
CREATIVE VISUALISATION/ACTIVE IMAGINATION – withdraw from the stresses of daily life, enjoy personal guided meditations & embark on a journey towards inner peace. Create an enlightening dialogue between different/conflicted parts of your self to find clarity, resolve, integration & wholeness…
FOCUSSING – ‘the body knows'; access, utilize & trust your body’s innate wisdom & capacity to process & heal itself through focusing inwards & working with what’s there in order to become more free, authentic, resolved & present. This technique can be applied to many issues & is particularly helpful for anxiety/confusion/stress/blocks.
