How I work

As a trauma-informed practitioner in private practice, I offer face-to-face consultations in a safe and comfortable environment in Peregian Springs, on the Sunshine Coast. Online counselling sessions are also available.

No GP referral is needed. This means that I am free to use a combination of therapies that will support you the best, not the one that is covered by rebates.

Main modalities:
SAFE-TⓇ - Somatic Attachment Focused Expressive Therapy
Internal Family Systems
Compassion Focused Therapy

Given what it was like growing up, all things stood up against or for you and what you know about yourself:

Does it make sense that you are struggling now?

It's not your fault and you are not faulty.

Give yourself the support you never had before.

Individual Counselling

While many practitioners favour cognitive behavioural therapy or other behaviour reconditioning, I use different evidence-based therapeutic approaches. These bottom-up, body-mind alligned modalities help my clients integrate and resolve difficult past or present experiences so they develop trust, start living fully and engaging with others.

Relationship Counselling

I tailor every session your situation and  relationship needs. With a focus on attachment wounds in your past that may impact your adult relationships as well as your parenting.

You may feel ignored, sidelined, or not understood and appreciated. I use techniques from Relational Presence and Internal Family Systems to explore those feelings. My experience has shown that as sensitive human beings (partners, parents, children, friends, teachers, or leaders) we need to listen to our own body’s responses, and be present with the responses of others.

We often react to our past hurts that live in our implicite body memory and not the person who is in front of us. An important part of this work is to heal our hurt inner children. From then on we can be more present with our external reality and respond to others' needs from the heart rather than from our brain's threat response.

Grief Counselling

I facilitate Resilient Grieving Therapy techniques using self-compassion strategies to grow your capacity to gently care and act for yourself. I walk you through the ways that will let you consciously allow in support, and find ways to acknowledge and accept your pain.

 


How can Swan Counselling help you?

Supporting you in a safe environment where you can heal and rebuild
your relationships.

Are your feelings out of control? Feel like a failure? You are not alone. Self-judgement, perfectionism or shaming are common ways we punish ourselves. 

If you want to calm the chaos, you’re at the right place. Not only because seeking counselling is a decision that comes from taking responsibility and a sign of true strength. But also, because I use trauma-informed, bottom-up therapies that reach the heart and soul of your problem: be it attachment wounds in chidlhood or trauma.

If it is too painful to cope with your loss alone, I’m offering support and strategies to help live with your loss in a meaningful way.

Relatinship counselling for couples, partners and parents who require help with ongoing, unresolved interpersonal conflicts and dealing with difficult or transitional times.
