Individual Counselling & Somatic Therapy - Live Well HQ
Personal Practice

A safe, unhurried space to heal and align

Persistent worry, unexpressed grief, past trauma, or life transitions can leave you feeling deeply disconnected. Our confidential, one-on-one individual counselling merges compassionate talk therapies with somatic, mind-body integration, helping you unpack unhelpful loops, process painful memories, and anchor a resilient sense of self.

Therapeutic Pillars

The three pillars of personal healing

We merge safe emotional talking therapies with sensory somatics to help you safely unpack, integrate, and realign.

Trauma & Grief Integration

Moving beyond simple talking methods. We work safely and at your own pace to integrate unresolved childhood trauma, physical/emotional neglect, complicated bereavement, or major life-adjustment grief without flooding your nervous system.

Somatic & Nervous System Care

Addressing how your physical body houses mental tension. We unpack the physiological symptoms of chronic anxiety, persistent panic loops, and body-stored stress, teaching you custom, physical self-regulation exercises.

Identity & Self-Worth

Deconstructing long-standing unhelpful core beliefs about yourself. We assist you to rebuild your personal self-esteem, clarify your internal boundaries, explore your values, and map out a purposeful forward direction.

Counselling FAQ

Common questions about individual therapy

Clear information regarding GP referrals, session logistics, and process expectations for prospective clients.

Do I need a doctor's referral to book a session?

No, you do not need any formal medical referral to make contact and start individual counselling. You can independently book whenever you feel ready. However, if you would like to claim Medicare rebates, you will need to organize a Mental Health Care Plan through your GP first.

What actually happens during our first session?

Our initial 50-minute session is completely safe, unhurried, and low-demand. There is no expectation to speak about deeply painful memories immediately. We simply discuss what is causing you distress right now, outline your goals, and ensure you feel comfortable with the therapeutic pace.

Is my personal data and case file secure?

Absolutely. All client records and notes are stored securely using encrypted, clinical-grade medical software that strictly complies with Australian privacy principles. What is shared inside our therapy room stays inside our therapy room, with disclosure only occurring in safe-keeping conditions required by law.
