What is holistic counselling?

Holistic Counselling is an integrative approach that includes the whole body and being in treatment. It recognises that we cannot separate the mind from the body, as they are integral when it comes to our mental health. An holistic counsellor is interested in the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual forms of wellbeing to support individuals to bring about their own healing and to gain a deeper understanding of themselves.

What does an holistic therapist do?

The focus of an holistic therapist is to empower the individual or couple to bring about their own healing. This may be through various counselling techniques, whilst also including body connection tools, as well as meditation and body awareness exercises. An holistic therapist puts the client at the centre of the treatment plan, rather than the issues or diagnosis, encouraging personal growth and self discovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral?

As a private Counsellor you do not require referrals. Psychologists and Psychiatrists require referrals from your GP.

Can I claim with Medicare or my private health fund?

Counselling is not on the list of claimable services for Medicare at this time, hence why our prices have been reduced and adjusted accordingly. Some health fund rebates will apply. Please check in about which health funds are claimable.

How do I know if we are a good fit?

We offer a 10–15-minute introductory chat over the phone. This way we can both get a sense of whether we will be a good fit.

Will you be able to give me a diagnosis?

No, as Counsellors, we do not diagnose. If you are looking for a diagnosis you will need to see your GP for them to guide you to the appropriate health care provider.

What is women's health coaching?

As a more specific approach to counselling, Sara provides support by way of women's health coaching sessions. With 20 years experience in wellbeing and a Masters of Women's Health Medicine, Sara supports women through the plethora of health related experiences that are evident in today's modern world. With an understanding of the mental health impacts of some illness and disease becoming more and more prominent, our approach is to work holistically by supporting the whole woman.

Sara works alongside medical practitioners to allow women the space and time that they may otherwise not have in various specialist appointments. Education is a key aspect of Sara's approach as well as referring to ensure women are getting the appropriate support that is right for them.

Re-connecting back to our sensitivity is paramount when dealing with our health and this includes our mental health. Our ability to feel settled with life and settled in our body is in fact our natural state. Yet sometimes we need support to return to what our body innately knows.
