Somatic Counselling in Hobart, TAS

Are you looking for an integrative, somatic & spiritually-grounded style of therapy? My work is rooted in Process-oriented Psychology: an awareness modality that integrates Jungian psychology, dream-body awareness, nature-based perspectives, and shamanic/spiritual traditions - following your innate drive for authentic self-expression and wholeness. I work with people who desire an empowering container to transform their challenges into opportunities for psychospiritual growth and maturation. My passion is to work with psychedelic and plant-medicine integration, spiritual experiences, grief, sexuality, dreams, and relationships.

I help women living in a state of chronic stress to feel better. If you are a new mum who has experienced birth or post-partum trauma or a midlife woman living with high stress and juggling many roles - I can help you. Maybe you get easily triggered and upset or retreat and feel very sad. You may feel awful, but you don't know why. There may be a lot of confusion about what actions you could take as the rational part of your brain goes offline when in a chronic state of fight, flight or freeze and it's so hard to find solutions to problems.

I meet you where you are at and provide a trauma sensitive and collaborative approach in my work as a holistic psychologist and EMDR therapist. Knowing that everyone is unique, I prioritise deep, responsive listening, adaptive exploration and creating a safe space for you to speak your innermost thoughts and honour all parts of yourself. Most people experience significant improvements in emotional well-being within just a few sessions.

Are you feeling a deep sense of loss and sadness? Are you wondering how you will get through this pain and when you will feel like yourself again? I specialise in grief counselling for adults from a person-centred, compassion focused, somatic and trauma informed approach. I am also an End of Life Doula, so I'm passionate about guiding and empowering families with end of life planning, practical and emotional support. Grief is not a problem to be resolved - it is a normal human response to loss. While counselling won’t take away your grief, I can support you to navigate the pain it brings and learn how to adapt to life after loss.

As a qualified somatic psychotherapist & counsellor, I support people experiencing anxiety, burn out, shut down, low self worth, body disconnection & relationship challenges. I help you develop a safe, loving relationship with your body & mind so that you can transform your relationship to yourself, and embrace the wholeness of this human experience. The approach I take is person-centred, trauma-informed and built on a foundation of openness, acceptance, curiosity & compassion. I focus on providing you with the tools that you need to thrive and getting to the root cause of the challenges you are experiencing.

I am currently accepting participants in my 6 week LGBTQIA+ affirming online somatic practice group, beginning 23 July (cost is $400 - sliding scale available). I’m Michelle (she/her). I am a registered counsellor, offering 1:1 sessions, groups and workshops. My work is informed by Narrative therapy, Focusing, Somatics, Grief-tending, Anti-oppressive and Trauma informed practice. I run my business predominantly online, so my offerings are accessible to people throughout Australia and overseas.

Life can be hard at times, and when we meet the messy moments it can feel isolating, overwhelming, and hopeless. We are human, after all. It makes sense that we may find ourselves stuck at times - stuck in our feelings, thoughts, and behaviours and it can be tough to shift things in the right direction, especially if we are doing it on our own. With honesty and compassion, therapy is a place to explore what you're navigating and create sustainable change that supports your healing and growth. I support women who are wanting to shift out of survival mode so they can feel grounded, confident, and free.

I am a queer and non-binary counsellor that uses narrative practices, acknowledging the person I work with (of any age) as the expert on, and of, their own life. In working alongside people, I also focus on intersectionality taking a systems approach. This approach sees the problem as the problem; that our experiences of trauma and heartbreak result from a world that lacks the resources (knowledges and more) to dignify and link lives in just ways.

I love what I do, I am passionate about supporting individuals and couples in navigating the complexities of the mind, relationships, and sexuality. I want to see people thrive and I care about my clients. I strive to help you become your most authentic selves, fostering self-connection and healing from trauma. My therapeutic approach is warm, empathetic, and person-centred, creating a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and desires. I will always find another way to help you and try something new if things don't work. I spend my time increasing my skills to constantly grow.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed or just cannot make sense of things. Everyone can have therapy at anytime in life. Talking to someone who listens, remembers your history, travels with you on your journey can be rewarding and help with anxiety, depression and feelings of being alone. I can help you make sense of your life, meaning and troubling thoughts. I am also an experienced couples therapist having supported couples on their journeys from courting to commitment. I help people make sense of where they have come to, going to and how they are going to get there even when the future is uncertain.

When you're overwhelmed, overworked and anxious, you are in survival mode. You're in too deep to think ahead. And it's way too hard to enact that self care plan. In fact, even thinking about it can feel exhausting. What you need is a way to create space and connect back into yourself.

eunoia was developed out of a deep desire to recapture connection, beauty and meaning in the everyday. Many people (adults, adolescents and children alike), can appear to be trapped in unfulfillment; whether it's by circumstances, limited thinking or unmanageable emotions. Bridget has worked across the community and social services for over 25 years.

I have worked with individuals from all walks of life. Most of my work has been with individuals working in the emergency services context, as well as those with experiences of long-standing and ongoing anxiety. This might be individuals looking to get a better a handle on their nervous system in order to better manage the challenges and demands life throws at them. These individuals are usually already highly reflective and have a readiness and willingness to work on issues affecting and surrounding them.

Sometimes all we need is space to breath and be heard, to make sense of what is happening in our lives and how we would prefer to navigate the up & downs. Whether it is you or your child, my therapeutic approaches may support with regulation needs, social navigation, feelings identification and expression, sensory needs, executive function needs, connection and relationship development, strengths development, identity and self-worth, advocacy.
