In Person Counselling in Padbury, WA

Welcome to Arukah, where your well-being is priority. As a counsellor and family therapist, I focus on compassion, respect, and consistent support, addressing your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Whether you're navigating challenges alone, as a couple, or with your family, my aim is simple; to gently accompany you towards healing, recovery, and restoration. At Arukah, the relationship between counsellor and client is vital. Taking a gentle, holistic approach, my commitment is to nurture compassion, provide support, and respect for clients ensuring that your story is always empathically listened too and support offered.

My purpose is to help individuals and couples identify their values, establish healthy boundaries, and reconnect with what gives them meaning. I strive to provide a relaxing, peaceful and private therapy space. Working with clients from all walks of life for the past six years has taught me a lot about the challenges people have to face every day.  I work in close collaboration with the client to reinforce positive feelings and behaviours and to develop mental, emotional and behavioural goals.

Do you wonder "what's happened to us?" Maybe you know what's happened, a betrayal for example, maybe you don't know, but things just don't feel like they used to. You might be having more arguments, feeling disconnected from each-other or resentful and hurt. Maybe you struggle to communicate without anger, or feel you can't talk about the 'big' things. Maybe you struggle with anxiety, depression or unaddressed stress that impacts your relationship. Or, maybe it is stressors outside your relationship, but is impacting it, such as in-laws or FIFO work. Whatever the cause, I imagine you just want your relationship to feel better.
