A Little About Me

I believe healing happens in relationship, and starts as soon as we feel accepted and truly seen

Hello, I’m Rosalind

PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Developmental Practitioner

I’ve always been interested in people — why we behave the way we do, and how our early environment and life experiences influence who we are today.

For more than 20 years, I have worked with children and families, using a neurodevelopment program to address the “why” beneath  learning and behaviour challenges in children.

An Holistic Approach to Healing

I came to counselling as a parent looking for answers. I wanted to understand why my daughter was so angry in the afternoons when I picked her up from school. Her behaviour simply didn’t fit with her gentle nature.

I began researching, and trained  as a Developmental Practitioner. Since then I have been bringing a developmental approach to supporting children who struggle with learning, particularly at school. The clues are in their behaviour!

Realising that parents were often struggling to balance everyday parenting challenges with their own needs and relationship issues, I trained in an holistic, or whole person approach to Counselling and Psychotherapy..

Today, I combine my  background in Child Development with my training in Holistic Counselling and Psychotherapy, using an evidence-based approach known as Process-Oriented Psychology.  

In your sessions we can explore what is happening for you in the present moment, combined with an understanding of how your early experiences can continue to impact you throughout life.

My approach to counselling isn’t about quick-fixes, devising labels, analysing your behaviour or telling you what to do. I’m more interested in who you are as a person – mentally, physically and emotionally – and what has brought you here.

Counselling as a Journey of Self Discovery

Working together we can explore how all these aspects of you are interconnected, helping you to grow in awareness and understanding – both of yourself and those around you.

I believe that healing happens in relationship, and starts the moment we feel truly seen, heard and understood, in a space of deep, authentic human connection. 

Many of us spend years trying to be who we think we should be – trying to please others, to conform and live to their expectations. It’s easy to lose sight of who we really are, and the gifts we bring to the world.

I’ve sat where you are, looking for answers, searching for my unique voice and following my own journey of self-discovery.

This personal journey is ongoing and continues to inform my work as a counsellor and psychotherapist.

Whether you’re looking for support with parenting, your relationship, or your own personal journey, I’d love to help you.

If this sounds like what you are looking for, you’re welcome to get in touch.
