Somatic Therapy Sunshine Coast

What can I expect in the Initial Consultation: Clarity Session?
This is a 60-minute online session designed to help you gain clarity around what you’re currently experiencing and what support may be most helpful moving forward.

We begin by exploring what’s been happening for you, what feels most challenging right now, and what you would like to shift or change. From there, we look at what may be contributing to these patterns, including the impact they’re having across different areas of your life.

The session also includes space to step back and gain perspective on what you truly want, what feels most important to you, and what may need to shift in order to move forward.

You can expect a calm, supportive conversation that may include gentle reflection, body awareness prompts, and deeper insight into your current experience. The intention is not to rush or fix anything, but to create clarity and direction so you can understand your next step more clearly.

By the end of the session, we will also explore what type of ongoing support may be most appropriate for you, whether that is further individual sessions or a more structured process.

​

​

Can I do sessions online?
Yes. I offer secure, private online sessions for clients across Australia and beyond. Many people find this just as effective as in-person sessions.  Online sessions also suit many people living in remote areas or who may have other circumstances preventing them from attending sessions in person.  

​

Is there parking available onsite?
Yes, there is free parking available onsite for all in-person sessions.

​

Are after-hours sessions available?
Yes — I offer a limited number of after-hours appointments. If this suits your schedule better, please let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate.

​

Will I be in therapy forever?
No — therapy isn’t meant to last forever. Some people come for a short time to work through something specific, while others choose a deeper or longer journey. You’re always in charge of how long we work together.

​

How many sessions will I need?
Everyone’s healing journey is different. Some people find a few sessions helpful for immediate support, while others benefit from a longer-term process. We’ll check in regularly and adjust as your needs evolve.

​

How is a psychotherapist different from a psychologist?
Trained psychotherapists  use evidence-based approaches and tend to work more relationally and holistically — exploring emotional patterns, deep-rooted experiences, and the inner life. My soul-centred approach also brings in and integrates energetic aspects of healing (energy psychology), mindfulness, trance, somatic work, and EMDR (bilateral processing) for trauma.  Psychologists often work with clinical diagnoses using structured evidence based treatments such as CBT, ACT and DBT.

​

How is a psychotherapist different from a counsellor?
There’s some overlap, but psychotherapy generally involves more in-depth, longer-term work and training in areas like trauma and complex emotional processing. Psychotherapists also engage in their own personal inner work in order to maintain a deep level of presence with their clients.  Counselling is often shorter-term (sometimes referred to as 'talk-therapy') and focused on immediate life challenges.

​

Can I use a Mental Health Care Plan?
I don’t work under the Medicare system, so Mental Health Care Plans and rebates don’t apply. The benefit of this is that everything we do stays completely private — your sessions and personal details aren’t shared within government health records. It also means we have the freedom to work in a way that best supports you, without limits on session numbers or the need for a formal diagnosis.
