General Counselling Service
A Safe Space to Talk, Reflect and Move Forward
Life doesn’t always go to plan. Grief, relationship challenges, anxiety, burnout, trauma, major life changes, family conflict, or simply feeling stuck can leave us feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what comes next.
Counselling provides a supportive, confidential space to explore what is happening in your life, gain clarity, and develop practical strategies to help you move forward with greater confidence and wellbeing.
At Stable & Nook, counselling is not about being told what to do. It is about being heard, understood, and supported as you reconnect with your own strengths, values and direction.
How I Can Help
I work with adults and young people experiencing:
- Grief and loss
- Trauma and adverse life experiences
- Anxiety and stress
- Depression and low mood
- Life transitions and change
- Loss of purpose or direction
- Self-esteem and confidence issues
- Emotional regulation difficulties
Whether you are facing a recent challenge or carrying something that has been with you for many years, counselling can help you better understand your experiences and create meaningful change.
My Approach
My approach is warm, practical, and person-centred. I draw from a range of evidence-informed counselling approaches including:
- Trauma-informed practice
- Mindfulness-based therapies
- Somatic and body-awareness techniques
- Grief education and support
- Strengths-based counselling
- Solution-focused strategies
Every person is unique, so sessions are tailored to your individual needs, goals and circumstances.
You don’t need to have all the answers before you begin. Sometimes the first step is simply having a conversation.
Grief & Loss Support
As Australia’s only David Kessler Accredited Grief Therapist offering Equine Assisted Grief Counselling, grief and loss is an area particularly close to my heart.
Grief can arise from many experiences including:
- Death of a loved one
- Relationship breakdown
- Loss of health or independence
- Career changes
- Family estrangement
- Major life transitions
Together we create a space where grief can be acknowledged, explored and integrated at your own pace.
