Mindfulness-Based Counselling for Individuals and Couples

Online Sessions available across Australia

Welcome to Port Macquarie Counselling

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming, and it helps to have a space where you can simply talk and be heard. Here, you’ll find gentle, supportive counselling to help you navigate relationships, process emotions, and reconnect with yourself in a meaningful way.

You’re welcome here. This is a space to slow down, feel heard, and begin making sense of what’s happening in your life.

We all need someone to talk to at times. Life can present us with difficult situations, and seeking support is a positive step toward growth and healing.

the good life is a process not a state of being.

Ways I Can Support You

Below is an overview of the different ways we can work together. I invite you to explore what feels most relevant for you right now.

Individual Counselling

At times, life can feel overwhelming, uncertain, or difficult to navigate alone. Individual counselling offers a calm, supportive space to explore what’s happening for you — your thoughts, emotions, and experiences — with care and without judgement.

Together, we work gently and at your pace to build understanding, develop practical ways of coping, and reconnect with a sense of clarity and steadiness.

Relationship Counselling / Coaching

Relationships can be deeply meaningful, but they can also become strained, disconnected, or difficult to navigate at times. You may find yourselves having the same conversations without resolution, feeling unheard, or unsure how to move forward together.

Relationship counselling offers a supportive space to slow things down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin rebuilding connection. We work together to improve communication, navigate conflict more constructively, and strengthen the foundations of your relationship.

Sessions are informed by evidence-based approaches, including The Gottman Institute, alongside a range of practical tools to support lasting change.

Grief Counselling

Grief is a deeply personal experience, and there is no right way or set timeline to move through it. It can come in waves, change over time, and feel different from one day to the next.

Grief counselling offers a gentle, supportive space to sit with your loss, honour your emotions, and make sense of what life looks like now. You don’t need to have the right words — just space to be heard and supported as you are.

Together, we move at your pace, finding ways to carry your grief with care while slowly reconnecting with meaning and hope in your own time.

inner child work

Inner Child & Parts Work

Sometimes the ways we respond to life today are shaped by earlier experiences that were never fully understood or supported. These younger or protective “parts” of us can show up in relationships, emotions, and patterns we don’t always recognise.

Inner child and parts work offers a compassionate way to explore these aspects of yourself with curiosity rather than judgement. It’s about understanding where certain feelings or reactions come from, and learning to meet them with care instead of criticism.

Together, we gently build awareness, emotional safety, and self-understanding, creating space for greater balance and connection within yourself.

Emotion Coaching

Many of us were never taught how to understand, name, or respond to our emotions in a healthy way. As a result, feelings can become overwhelming, confusing, or difficult to express — especially in close relationships.

Emotion coaching offers a practical and supportive approach to becoming more aware of your emotional responses and what sits underneath them. It’s about slowing things down enough to notice what you’re feeling, and learning how to respond rather than react.

This work can support greater emotional regulation, improved communication, and deeper connection with yourself and others.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is a gentle, focused approach that works with the subconscious mind — the part of us that influences habits, patterns, and emotional responses. In this relaxed state, it becomes easier to explore thoughts and experiences in a calm and supported way.

Rather than “losing control,” hypnotherapy is about becoming deeply relaxed and more inwardly focused, while still remaining aware and in control throughout the process.

This approach can support positive change in areas such as anxiety, confidence, habits, and emotional wellbeing, by working with the deeper patterns that shape how we respond to life.

Life Coaching

Life coaching offers a structured and supportive space to clarify what matters most to you and explore the direction you want your life to take. It can be helpful when you feel stuck, uncertain, or ready for change but unsure where to begin.

Together, we look at your goals, values, and current challenges, and begin breaking things down into manageable, meaningful steps. The focus is not on “fixing” you, but on helping you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and intention.

Coaching sessions provide encouragement, accountability, and practical support as you work toward creating change that feels realistic and aligned with your life.

Mindfulness Sessions & Training

Mindfulness offers a simple but powerful way to slow down and reconnect with the present moment. In a busy and often demanding world, it can help create space to pause, notice what’s happening within you, and respond with greater awareness rather than reactivity.

In sessions, you’ll be guided in developing practical mindfulness skills that can be integrated into everyday life — supporting emotional balance, stress reduction, and a greater sense of steadiness.

Over time, mindfulness can help you relate to your thoughts and experiences with more ease, clarity, and self-compassion.
