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 & enmeshment -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!

I provide online counselling and telehealth therapy for individuals and couples across Australia. This service offers a gentle grounding space to pause, reflect, and gain clarity —where challenges feel less overwhelming, new possibilities emerge, and the energy to move forward begins to grow. Our work together starts with truly understanding you: your story, your needs, your struggles, your hopes, and your dreams—as well as the barriers that may be preventing you from living the life you want or becoming the person you wish to be. I draw on a range of strengths-based, evidence-informed, and creative approaches, including Internal Family Systems, CBT-informed strategies, ACT principles, and person-centred counselling.

FAQs

Counselling sessions in Preston typically range from $130 to $240 per session, depending on the practitioner's qualifications, experience, and the type of therapy offered. Clients with a Mental Health Treatment Plan from their GP may be eligible for Medicare rebates when seeing a registered psychologist, which can reduce the per-session cost. Some Preston counsellors also offer concession pricing or sliding scale fees, so it's worth asking about this when you first make contact. Session length can also affect the overall cost, with longer appointments generally priced higher.
