The Wellbeing Sphere - Clinic in West Burleigh Queensland

At the age of 40 I found out I had Breast Cancer and had to have a mastectomy. At that time I was looking after my body from an environmental sense, so it was a big shock. Not only did I loose my health, but also my marriage, family home and my job due to ill health. My children were aged 4 and 6 and my youngest had disabilities including Autism, ADHA, Opposition defiance disorder, behavioural issues, anxiety and a mild intellectual disability (he is 23 now and doing really well).

So I hit rock bottom, this was a big wake up call and stop in the momentum I was living. This dis-ease in my body also assisted me to understand the impact the past trauma I had experienced had had on my body due to it being left undealt with and unresolved.

So I picked myself up, booked some counselling sessions for support to deal with the trauma and I have never looked back. I now feel really healthy and vital.

As I result of the counselling I was able to go from hating my dad to have a really good relationship with him, this reflected in many other relationships too.

I then remarried, had another child at 44 and I now love my life. I started my counselling business to support others to do the same, to enrich their lives in all areas including relationships, family and work.

As a counsellor I have the ability to make anyone feel comfortable and to share how they are feeling in a safe and warm environment, free of judgement. The work I do is strengths based, empowering the client to make changes in their lives in a gentle yet powerful way. The sessions I offer are never about needing the client to depend on the sessions or me but rather to support the client to learn how to support themselves and ultimately clear the issues that are being presented. If you want to make changes to your life then I can support you to do so in a gentle loving way.

I currently offer in person sessions at my clinic and online sessions via Zoom, FaceTime or Whats app. I feel online sessions offer no less than a face to face session. I currently have weekly online clients in NSW, Victoria, the UK and America and feel the distance makes no difference at all to the quality of the session.

As an option within the session I can also offer a body awareness meditation which can be for the last 10-15 mins. You lie down on your sofa or bed and I talk you through your body assisting you to release any held tension. It is very powerful and amazing for supporting the body to surrender, let go of stress and anxiety and to lighten how you are feeling.

I carry out the the required Work health and Safety and Infection Control government requirements to keep clients Covid-19 safe. I check all clients have not been ill or in contact with a person who is infectious. Hand sanitiser is offered to all clients on arrival.
