Find clarity, healing, & wellbeing with online trauma-informed counselling & psychotherapy

I support adults experiencing stress, overwhelm, disconnection, or a loss of meaning to understand themselves more deeply and reconnect with a steadier sense of self.

What is trauma‑informed counselling & psychotherapy?

Trauma‑informed counselling and psychotherapy recognises how past experiences shape your emotions, thoughts, sensations, and relationships. It focuses on safety, regulation, and understanding your patterns with compassion. This approach is paced, collaborative, and centred on your autonomy.

Centred Wellness offers trauma‑informed counselling and psychotherapy online across Australia, with a focus on healing from early emotional and attachment wounds.

Stress, anxiety, overwhelm, or self‑doubt?

Stress, anxiety, overwhelm, or self‑doubt often arise during difficult life experiences—illness, major transitions, identity shifts, or times when you’ve had to cope alone. These feelings can have deep roots in earlier experiences where you learned to question your worth, minimise your needs, or carry too much on your own. Together, we explore where these patterns began and how they continue to shape your inner world, gently supporting healing and new ways of relating to yourself.

Nightmares, or recurring or prominent dreams?

Nightmares, or recurring or prominent dreams often surface when deeper emotional layers are trying to be seen—unresolved trauma, early attachment wounds, or long‑standing protective patterns. Together, we explore what these dreams may be expressing, how they relate to your past and present, or creative potentials.

Lingering impacts of childhood trauma or early emotional wounds?

Complex trauma or early attachment wounds often leave behind adaptive strategies that once protected you—shutting down, staying vigilant, disconnecting from your body, or keeping emotions tightly held. Together, we explore these patterns with care and curiosity, understanding where they came from and how they continue to shape your life, while supporting reconnection with yourself in the present.

Grief and loss?

Grief isn’t only about losing someone to death—it can also arise through relationship endings, friendship ruptures, family estrangements, or the loss of a role, identity, or imagined future. These experiences often stir deep emotional layers: fears of abandonment, beliefs about not being allowed to need others, or old patterns of coping alone. Loss can activate early attachment wounds and long‑standing protective strategies, sometimes showing up as overwhelm, anxiety, shutdown, or vivid dreams. I offer a safe, grounded space to explore both the present‑day loss and the earlier experiences it may touch, honouring your grief with gentleness and care.

Compulsive behaviours?

Behaviours like self‑harm or addiction often began as adaptive strategies—ways to soothe, numb, survive, or create a sense of control when other support wasn’t available. Together, we explore the emotional and relational roots of these patterns, honouring their protective function while gently supporting new, more sustaining ways of coping.

Who I support

I work with adults experiencing stress, emotional overwhelm, shutdown, anxiety, grief, nightmares or vivid dreams, compulsive behaviours, and long‑standing patterns rooted in early trauma or attachment wounds.

A little bit about me...

I'm a PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor® and Psychotherapist with a deep commitment to helping people navigate life's challenges and reconnect with themselves. My own experiences with addiction, grief, illness, and major life changes have shaped the way I work—ensuring my approach is not just evidence-informed, but also deeply relational, reflective, and grounded in lived-understanding.

My approach to counselling and psychotherapy isn't about quick fixes. It's about self-discovery, reconnection with self in the present, and meaningful change. My work is guided by integrity, compassion, inclusivity, and a belief that everyone deserves a space to be heard.

If you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed, you don't have to navigate it alone.

Support is here when you're ready.

Why seek counselling or psychotherapy?

Sometimes, figuring things out on your own isn't enough.

Therapy offers a space that’s just for you — a place to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what feels true and meaningful. It can help you understand yourself more deeply, soften long‑held patterns, and move through life with greater ease and self‑trust.

Clarity and perspective

Therapy can help you slow down enough to hear yourself again—to understand your thoughts, feelings, and inner signals with more clarity. Over time, this can bring a steadier sense of self, direction, confidence, and connection to what matters most to you.

Compassion and integration

Old emotional patterns don’t have to define your present. Therapy offers a safe, grounded space to explore the deeper layers of your inner world, supporting healing, integration, and a more compassionate relationship with yourself and others.

Guidance through change

Major life changes—whether personal or professional—can unsettle your sense of identity and sense of stability. Therapy offers a steady process as you navigate these transitions, helping you stay connected to yourself as you move forward.

Insight into dreams and inner experiences

Dreams, images, and inner experiences can offer meaningful insight into parts of yourself that are ready to be understood. Therapy provides a space to explore these symbols and messages, helping you feel more connected to your inner life.
