The TOP 10 BEST Couples Counselling in Holmesville NSW

For over 25 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with people from all different paths of life as they navigate their personal healing journeys. I’m a psychotherapist trained in the Hakomi method, with additional training in art therapy, couples counselling, and meditation. I’m here to offer a space where you can explore your emotions without judgment, allowing whatever arises to be felt and processed at your own pace. Whether you're working through deep pain, loss, anxiety, or the challenges of relationships, I bring empathy and understanding to support you. Our work together is about creating a soft and secure foundation where healing can naturally unfold, guided by your unique needs and experiences. If you're ready to explore this journey of self-awareness and transformation, I welcome you to reach out and connect.

Are you currently struggling with something personal? Are you unhappy with certain aspects of your life? Do you live with Anxiety or Depression? Do you simply need someone to talk to? Here at Lake Macquarie Counselling & Psychotherapy, I aim to assist clients to discover the root cause of these issues and more. Within an environment of safety, understanding and support, clients are able to take time out from the pace of everyday life and explore issues that are affecting them personally. Clients can use this time to find reasons for why they are the way they are, and why they may react to certain situations in the way that they do. With time to slow down, and with the use of mindfulness techniques, these issues can be explored on a deeper mind/body level helping understanding and new information to be gained. Sometimes, people can see therapy as intimidating. They may feel unsure or uncomfortable about taking that first step towards facing their fears and reaching for personal growth. It is my hope to provide a down-to-Earth, relaxed and safe space for people to feel comfortable in. I want to help my clients not just function in life, but thrive.
