Welcome to Calm Connections Counselling. Sometimes we face struggles, challenges and obstacles in life where we disconnect and we need help to re-gain connection to our authentic self. You may be grieving a loss, facing difficulties within your family, in your parenting or within relationships. You may have experienced trauma or in a life transition, or perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious and feel like you cannot cope. Working with you, I draw on an integrated approach which encompass body, mind, emotion and spirit while drawing on modalities such as Acceptance Commitment theory, Emotions Focussed and Somatic therapy.

Beyond Talk Counselling is focused on helping clients finding healing, clarity and connection within. Whether they feel stuck in a particular area of life and don’t know how to get unstuck, or wanting to work on healing old wounds, recover from trauma, improve their relationships and their ability to move forward in life. To struggle is to be human. But sometimes those struggles become overwhelming and impact people's sense of self, their ability to engage in life and the people around them. At Beyond Talk Counselling I help clients overcome and transform life’s challenges and struggles into opportunities for growth and healing.

As a Clinical Psychologist I am grateful to have shared many diverse experiences over the past 20 years, working with people at different stages of their life. I have an honest down-to-earth approach providing practical ideas, guidance and strategies for building skills to manage life's challenges and encourage positive outcomes. Perspective and empathy are important in life. How we choose to look at individual events, ourselves and others can shape how we manage difficulties and how effectively we work toward the things that are important to us. We all struggle at times and we all have the capacity to grow in a positive direction.

I support individuals who are struggling with a range of life challenges. This may be a situational issue or more ongoing challenges in life where you have notice repeated patterns. This could be things like struggling with mental health, emotional overwhelm, stress, relational issues or breakdown, life transition, work or study pressure, substance misuse, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues and childhood trauma. I also support adults experiencing relationship/marriage and family problems. It is not uncommon to feel apprehensive about engaging in therapy even though it can be very beneficial in many ways.

If you're considering therapy you're likely entertaining the possibility of change! Many clients have a sense of feeling 'stuck' - that what they've been doing isn't sustainable - old coping/survival strategies aren't workable and use up valuable energy, e.g.. avoidance of/distracting from/suppressing/whiteknuckling/ruminating on: thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, urges, images, memories. These maintain negative cycles, keep our emotional brain vigilant to 'threat' and our nervous system mobilised in a stress response. What if we could imagine a future we'd like to participate in, regardless of what's showing up in the present?

I have been a counsellor for the past 20 years and I am passionate about helping people to grow and develop their sense of self. I recently qualified in Family Therapy and Systemic Practice and I see Family Therapy as a game changer in terms of moving individuals and families through problems, quickly. I take a strong position in being authentic, non-judgemental and transparent. The relationships that make up our world are important and are informed by the relationship we have with ourselves. Great mental health is the most precious thing we possess and we need to take time to cherish, nourish and protect it.

12-25 year olds seek me out when they are struggling with worries of life that are limiting their potential. Many battle self- doubt and thoughts like, "I'm not good enough / pretty enough" or "I can't do that" or "I'm stupid"; ...and comparing self to others is a BIG TRAP. Science shows us that we are all unique in so many ways (finger & retina print, DNA, eye & hair colour, body shape, family structure, school/home/work/world-experience etc) so why do we torture ourselves by making comparisons to others??? YOU ARE PERFECTLY YOU.

I discovered both the joys and the true potential of effective counselling when I began working as a Case Manager for an Adelaide based VET sector provider. Being a resource person for a diverse cohort of students aged 18-64 opened a window on the barriers they faced, from challenges related to language, ability and socio-economic factors to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. In this role I learned to identify the things that hold many of us back and to focus on finding ways to move forward such as developing strategies for self-managing negative or unhelpful thoughts.

Life is tough sometimes. Sometimes much of our life is tough. Where once we had extended family, tribal elders, caring friends, the shaman or others to support us is navigating life's challenges, many of us don't have those supports anymore. Our modern world has made seeking therapy a necessity as other options aren't available. The team at InsideArts believes in everyone's capacity for kindness, growth and acheiving their personal best. Whether a child or an adult, we believe a "strive to thrive" is fundamental. All it takes often is a little support to bring out the best in every child, teen and adult.
