COUNSELLING FOR WOMEN

 

A Space Where Your Body Can Finally Exhale


Do you feel like you’ve been holding it all — for too long?

Quietly stretched thin. Wired yet weary. Tending to others while slowly losing connection with you — your joy, your needs, your breath.


I see you.


I work with intuitive, heart-led women who feel burnt out, overwhelmed, or quietly unraveling beneath the surface. Women who have carried so much, so gently, for so long — and are now ready to come home to themselves.


In our work together, we honour your nervous system as the wise guide it is.


Rather than asking “what’s wrong with me?”, we ask:

  • What has your system been protecting you from?
     
  • How has it learned to keep you safe?
     
  • And what would it feel like to be gently met, instead of having to hold it all alone?
     

I weave trauma informed counselling with nervous system awareness, using the principles of Polyvagal Theory to understand how your body responds to stress, connection, and safety. 


Together, we track the patterns — the shutdown, the spirals, the shutdowns or the urgency — not with judgment, but with compassion and clarity.


Because your story matters.
But the state of your body tells us even more.


 In this space, we explore:

  • What moves you into survival (and why)
     
  • What helps you feel grounded, steady, and seen
     
  • How to work with your energy — not override it
     
  • And how to begin restoring trust in your body’s cues and rhythms
     

This is not about pushing through or “fixing” yourself.

It’s about gently building capacity — for presence, connection, and vitality — at your own pace, in your own way.


With lived experience of deep burnout, I don’t meet you from a place of performance — I meet you from reverence. For the wisdom your body holds. For the parts of you that had to survive. 


And for the soft voice within you that knows it’s time to return.

You’re not broken.

You’re just ready to live differently.


→ Let’s begin gently. Book a Clarity Call.

What women often bring into this space…

  

  • Burnout, fatigue, or soul disconnection
     
  • Anxiety, emotional numbness, or difficulty “switching off”
     
  • Patterns of high-functioning overwhelm
     
  • A desire to feel more, connect more, trust more — but not sure how
     
  • A longing to reconnect with their body, intuition, or creativity


  •  Untangling from Family Dynamics That Have Drained You
     

You don’t need to have the “right words.” You just need to bring you.

What makes my approach different?

This isn’t clinical or rigid.


It’s soul-based counselling, grounded in emotional intelligence, trauma-informed principles, and nervous system regulation. Sessions are attuned to you — your energy, your timing, your healing rhythm.


I work relationally with your nervous system, intuitively, and somatically — weaving together:

  • Talk-based counselling and gentle inquiry
     
  • Nervous system education + co-regulation
     
  • Somatic awareness + emotional processing
     
  • Space for tears, silence, softness, and remembering
     

Every session is a sacred container — a place where your truth can emerge at its own pace, without pressure or performance.


Through our sessions, you'll develop tools and insights to reclaim your energy, confidence, and sense of self. 

Your counselling sessions are tailored to what you need, both in the moment and in between sessions

 Together, we’ll gently build a toolkit that feels like yours — not another list of things to fix or force, but simple, soothing supports that meet you right where you are.


After each session, you’ll receive personalised practices:
-️ Soft audio reflections to regulate and restore
- Gentle mindfulness or body-based tools
-Journal prompts (only if they serve you) to deepen your own inner listening

And a living, breathing well-being plan that honours your pace, not the world’s


This isn’t a prescription.

It’s a co-creation — grounded in safety, sensitivity, and soul integrity.


I believe in holding space where your nervous system can settle, where your truth can rise without urgency, and where your healing becomes less about doing… and more about being deeply met.


If your body is whispering yes, I’d be honoured to walk beside you.

Let’s begin with a gentle conversation — and take it from there.

You’re not too much. You’re right on time.

Counselling Support for Chronic Illness & Fatigue

A gentle space to feel seen, soften, and come home to your body.


If you’re living with chronic fatigue or illness, you know how invisible and relentless it can feel. 


The grief of a changing body. The pressure to keep going. The exhaustion that doesn’t shift with rest.

I see you — because I’ve lived it too.


Through my own experience with chronic illness, I’ve come to understand: healing begins with enough safety.

Not perfection. Just moments where your system can pause, exhale, and feel met.


That’s the space I hold.

A place to explore what your body has carried — through illness, stress, and life — with compassion and nervous system awareness.


Together we’ll:

  • Gently track your symptoms through a polyvagal lens
     
  • Map your stress responses and honour your pace
     
  • Build small, sustainable practices that support rest, regulation, and reconnection
     

There’s nothing to push through here.
No need to explain away your experience.

Just space to soften, feel, and be supported — one gentle breath at a time.


If this speaks to your nervous system… trust that.


With warmth,
Kate x

NDIS COUNSELLING

 

NDIS Counselling: Trauma-Aware, Nervous System-Informed Support

If you're an NDIS participant navigating anxiety, overwhelm, trauma, or burnout — you're not alone, and you're so welcome here. I offer gentle, compassionate counselling for self-managed and plan-managed participants across South Australia.

With over five years’ experience in community and private practice settings, I’ve supported people facing all kinds of distress — from PTSD and grief, to parenting stress and shutdown. My approach is trauma-informed, polyvagal-aware, and deeply relational. I believe healing happens when we feel safe, seen, and supported to go at our own pace.


What to Expect

We’ll begin by building safety and connection — listening to what your nervous system needs.
Together, we’ll explore:

  • How your body responds to stress (e.g. fight, flight, freeze, shutdown)
     
  • What helps you feel more anchored and resourced
     
  • The impact of trauma, grief, or overwhelm on your daily life
     
  • Tools to gently support regulation and wellbeing
     
  • Your values and goals — and what healing looks like for you
     

This work isn’t about fixing — it’s about feeling. And reconnecting with the version of you that feels steadier, softer, more whole.


Services Offered

  • NDIS counselling for self-managed and plan-managed participants
     
  • In-person sessions (Gawler, SA) or telehealth
     
  • Letters of support for NDIS goals (when needed)
     
  • Collaboration with Support Coordinators & Recovery Coaches
     
  • No GP referral needed
     

Common Areas of Support

  • Complex trauma & PTSD
     
  • Burnout & emotional shutdown
     
  • Anxiety, depression & overwhelm
     
  • Domestic & family violence recovery
     
  • Chronic illness, grief & nervous system dysregulation

✨ Step 2: You (or your support team) can reach out directly to connect
✨ Step 3: Book a free 20-min Clarity Call — no pressure, just a gentle chat
✨ Step 4: If it feels right, we’ll book your first session and begin from there


"My role is to walk beside you with warmth and attunement — creating space for your nervous system to soften, feel safe, and begin to heal."
 
If you’re looking for a trusted Recovery Coach or Support Coordinator, I’d be happy to share my referral list of incredible humans I’ve worked alongside in the NDIS space.

GRIEF & LOSS COUNSELLING

Grief asks us to slow down. To feel what feels unbearable. To find meaning when the world has shifted beneath us.


In this space, you are not asked to be strong.

You are invited to be real.


Whether your grief is fresh or has quietly lingered for years, I offer a steady, compassionate space where your experience is honoured — not pathologised. Together, we tend to your nervous system, explore the story of your loss, and gently begin to rebuild meaning and connection.


You’re welcome here with:

  • Anticipatory grief or complex loss
     
  • Sudden death or trauma-linked grief
     
  • Long-term sorrow that feels heavy to carry alone
     
  • Transitions, endings, or invisible losses that others may not see
     

We’ll use nervous system tools, existential inquiry, and healing rituals to support your body, emotions, and soul.


Grief is not something to “get over.”

It’s something we learn to carry — with care, with reverence, and in time, with love.

→ Let’s begin your healing, one breath at a time.

RELIGIOUS TRAUMA & CULT RECOVERY

Leaving a high-demand group — whether spiritual, religious, or self-developmental — can leave you feeling disoriented, ashamed, or cut off from your inner truth. These spaces often appear caring on the surface, making the deeper harm harder to name.


If you’re navigating the grief, confusion, or loss of self that follows, I want you to know: what you're feeling makes sense. Your nervous system was shaped to survive — and now, gently, it’s asking for something more honest, more safe, and more you.


In this space, we honour your story, your body, and your own authority.

Together, we’ll:

  • Understand how your nervous system adapted — and help it find safety again.
     
  • Gently unpack beliefs that left you disconnected from your body, voice, and intuition.
     
  • Rebuild self-trust and reweave your identity in ways that feel grounded, empowered, and wholly your own.
     

This work is trauma-informed, body-aware, and guided by deep respect.

You don’t need to do this alone — and you don’t need to rush.

We’ll move at your pace, with care.

Recognised Counselling Support for SAPOL Employees & Their Families

   

Counselling Support for SAPOL Members & Families

Confidential. Trauma-aware. Grounded in nervous system care.


If you’re part of South Australia Police — or a family member — and feeling worn down by the job, the stress, or the emotional load it brings home, I see you. I offer confidential, external counselling support that understands the unique challenges of frontline life.


From chronic stress, burnout, and critical incidents…

To family strain, emotional numbness, or just not feeling like yourself anymore —
You don’t have to carry it alone.



What You Might Be Facing

  • Trouble switching off after shifts
     
  • Sleep disruption, fatigue, or hypervigilance
     
  • Relationship tension or emotional disconnection
     
  • Flashbacks, shutdown, or feeling “on edge”
     
  • Guilt, grief, or moral distress that lingers
     

These are not signs of weakness.
They’re how your nervous system protects you.



What We’ll Work On


  • Understanding Your Nervous System
    Learn how operational stress lives in the body — and how to gently unwind survival states like fight, flight, or freeze.


  • Rebuilding Trust & Regulation
    Find practical tools to support calm, restore connection, and build nervous system capacity — even in high-pressure roles.


  • Support for Families
    Because the job impacts everyone. I offer counselling for partners and loved ones navigating second-hand stress, communication breakdowns, and emotional disconnection at home.



Why This Work Matters

When you understand how your system responds to stress, you gain more choice, clarity, and resilience. This work helps reduce burnout, support relationships, and improve emotional wellbeing — on and off duty.



A Personal Note......

I may not wear the uniform — but I’m close to it. With a family member in law enforcement, I hold deep respect for what this work costs, and what it often conceals.


My approach is grounded, confidential, and relational. Sessions are available in Gawler or online.
