Yogahari Healing provides healing, personal growth and spirituality, through therapy and yoga. I have been supporting people through personal healing for 30 years. I am a qualified Social Worker, Family Constellation Facilitator, Emotional Focused Couples Therapist and Emotional Focused Individual Therapist. I work with women, men, couples and families and can support people through the following experiences: -trauma -depression -anxiety -sexual abuse and sexual assault -childhood trauma -family issues -relationship difficulties -infidelity -couple counselling -grief and loss -building boundaries -communication -building self-esteem and self-care In my early years I worked in the community sector as a youth counsellor, family counsellor and as a group work facilitator assisting mothers and women heal from family violence. Ten years ago I moved into private practice. My therapeutic approach approach is very relational meaning that I place a great deal of importance in building a therapeutic relationship based on trust and safety. The support varies according to what each individual person is seeking and open to. I can draw on a few approaches to healing the wounded psyche/self and trauma using healing approaches and modalities such as: Emotional Focussed Therapy, somatic work, psycho-dynamic theory, trauma-informed practice, attachment theory, strength-based practice, Family Constellation work and Radical Exposure Tapping and mindfulness. What makes my work a little unique is that I am also a yoga teacher and can draw on yoga psychology for people interested in exploring life challenges, traumas and issues from this life perspective. In my years of experience as a therapist, I have witnessed the immense benefits that this adds to helping people create openings for new ways of thinking and being!

Winner of the Quality Business Awards 2025 for Best Hypnotherapy in the Mornington Peninsular Shire due to rating #1 on service, satisfaction, reputation and quality with 5 star ratings from happy clients. Fresh Start Hypnotherapy achieved results in stress management, anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, relaxation, sleep disorders, pain management, confidence, relationships, addictions eg alcohol, smoking and weight loss. SMS for a quick response. Research shows hypnotherapy has a proven 93 % success rate over a course of 6 sessions according to the American Health organization. However some hypnotherapy clients of mine have only needed 1 or 2 sessions to reach their goal. Each session begins with counselling & involves lifecoaching to achieve goals & transformation. For Children & Families : As a professional accredited SleepTalk® consultant, I teach parents to effectively use the SleepTalk® process which allows them to improve their children’s behaviours, attitudes and habits. Some of the issues that I have successfully helped families with through SleepTalk® include sleeping disorders, anxiety, sibling rivalry, behaviours linked to Autism-ASD ADHD, confidence, agoraphobia, ODD, self harming, bedwetting, selective mutism, sensitivity to noise, ability to give and receive affection, social skills, academic performance, focus and concentration, fussy eating, aggressive & argumentative behaviour. The families have all improved their loving relationships and restored a sense of calm. As an experienced teacher, I have been involved in teaching primary, secondary, and then adults at TAFE for the last 26 years. This has given me a great understanding of the needs and pressures that modern families are under in today’s stressful world. I enjoy helping families and children heal so they can learn and reach their full potential. I found Hypnotherapy and Sleep Talk ® to help my own family and myself and I found it to be the quickest, easiest and most time and cost efficient solution.

Personal support tailored to your situation

There are times when having space to talk openly can make a meaningful difference. Individual therapy and counselling provide one-to-one support to help you work through thoughts, emotions and personal challenges at your own pace.

Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, life changes or simply looking for support and clarity, working with a therapist or counsellor can help you better understand your situation and develop ways to move forward.

1. Tell us what you’d like support with

Start by sharing what you’re looking for help with. Individual therapy and counselling can support areas such as:

  • Stress and anxiety
  • Confidence and self-esteem
  • Relationship or family concerns
  • Life transitions and change
  • Work-related pressures
  • General emotional wellbeing

You can also specify whether you prefer online or in-person sessions.

2. Compare therapists and counsellors

After submitting your request, you’ll hear from therapists and counsellors across Australia. You can review profiles, experience and areas of focus to find someone who feels suitable for your needs.

When considering professionals, it may help to look at:

  • Areas of experience or specialisation
  • Therapy or counselling approach
  • Session format and availability
  • Pricing and session structure
  • Communication style

Feeling comfortable with the person you choose is an important part of the process.

3. Work through things at your own pace

Once you’ve chosen a therapist or counsellor, sessions typically take place regularly based on your needs and availability.

Over time, therapy can help you gain perspective, develop coping strategies and feel more supported in managing challenges.

Different professionals may use different approaches depending on your goals.
